Solved autorun VOB movie files/folder

[ErrolD40]

I have these files in a folder and would like to download them to a disc. I would like the movie to autorun when inserted in a dvd player. Can anyone help please.

For me, burning both vob and sob files to a dvd using Nero, just burn it as a video dvd. What burning application do you have?

 

[ErrolD40]

Morning Bart,

I'm Errol Delahoussaye. I am using Windows DVD Maker. When I burn the files to a new disc for some reason the movie will not automatically start like the disc that I took the files from. Any idea how to fix it so that the newly burnt disc will start automatically.

Need some more info. Are you trying to play it in a regular DVD player or on the computer? If on the computer, put it in the drive and post a screen shot of the file structure on the disc. If on the computer, you may need to check the auto-play setting for what to do with that particular type of disc. A commercial DVD would have different structure properties from a disc you burned.

i have to tell you that I am now laughing as to why you typed Morning Bart. That's not really my name, it's a reference to the real Bart Simpson from the TV cartoon.

Here is another laugh for you. When I read the quote I thought....man one rude SOB...lol. Never dawned on me who Bart Simpson really is. Anyway here is what comes up when I the disc in my computer: oops too many characters to send. Can i send you and email?

I am about to go off line for a couple of hours at most. I need to install a new power supply. I'll be on later today.

 

[ErrolD40]

Yes I have registered here. My first time using the forum, but I did find the attachment icon and have attached an explanation of what I am seeing.

It appears you burned a data disc rather than a dvd-video disc and did not name the disc. Did you just use the drag and drop function to burn the files to the disc rather than use aa application that will creata a proprietary movie disc? See the attachment I am providing. This is what Nero Burning Program shows for a dialog.

Get this application and add the VOB folder which contains the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders to be burned to DVD. The interface looks very similar and simple to use.

WinX DVD Author
Free burn VOB to DVD with WinX DVD Author on Windows 7, 8, 10, XP, Vista...

 

[ErrolD40]

OK I have downloaded the application. I will let you know how that works out shortly.

 

[cyclops]

Go get 'em

 

[ErrolD40]

My first burn did not use the video-ts-ifo files so the video did not start automatically, but it did play. Working on a second burn using the video-ts-ifo files. It seems to be taking a bit longer. I will let you know shortly.

 

[ErrolD40]

Well after waiting all this time for the program to convert the files when I went to burn the disc I was told there was not sufficient space on my completely clear 4.7GB disc....lol. Man I feel like a whipped puppy.

 

[cyclops]

What program are you using for ripping the DVD? Have you ever used DVDFab or DVD Decrypter?

 

[ErrolD40]

The dvd was already ripped and given to me. I believe they used a Produplicator brand to produce the disc I am trying to copy from. Perhaps I need to rip it again in order to be able to reproduce it?

 

[ErrolD40]

Well I finally have it working the way that I want it to. I was trying to burn the dvd from the sub folder rather than the root folder. Once I used the root folder all is working. Thanks so much for your help. I am using the WinX DVD Author program...the DVD Disc Burner option of that program. Thanks again.

 

[cyclops]

so burn the video_ts and audio_ts rather than the vob?

 

[ErrolD40]

yes, but you have to capture them from the root folder level. if you try to do so from the video-ts folder it will not capture the ifo files.

 

[ErrolD40]

also the newly burned dvd will not play on the computer while the WinX DVD Author is open. once you close it the newly burnt dvd will play on the computer.
