Play DVD Without Optical Drive
I have a new laptop that does not have anb optical drive. Is there any way I
can play a DVD without buying an optical drive? Could I use my other computer to copy it to a flash drive and play it from there? -- C and A Bredt |

There will be several VOB files... Copy the largest ones...probably 0.99 GB each and there may be several. The free VLC Media Player can play these files.

Play DVD Without Optical Drive
Hello,
Copy the entire VIDEO_TS folder to some folder in your hard drive. Then when you want to play the DVD, open VLC and drag the whole VIDEO_TS folder to VLC or your favorite DVD player software and the DVD should play as if you are playing from the disc itself. -- http://www.tompangbuddy.com Share Cab, Carpool and Save Earth in Singapore http://www.bootstrike.com/Webdesign/ Singapore Web Design "C and A Bredt" wrote in message ...
