How to play a movie from files on a DVD?

#1 Post by Rope »

I have a DVD with a movie.
Contents are two folders

audio_ts
video_ts


video_ts contains file extensions
bup
ifo
vob

I tried gnome mplayer and VLC open disc menu but failed.

Error in mplayer is Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (File exists)

So long as the drive is mounted, either should play the vob files.

I can play the vob files individually but not the whole movie

Try the method here. Remember, you've gotta have the player play the *mounted* directory.

Step 1- Download VLC Player.
Step 2- Once downloaded you need to install it on your machine.

Step 3- Launch VLC Player (Navigate to Start -> Programs -> VideoLAN -> VLC Media Player)
Step 4- Click File -> Open Directory. Select the VIDEO_TS folder and click OK.

Step 5- Now create a VIDEO_TS folder on desktop or any place of your choice and copy all the ripped files there.

Step 6- Open the ripped files to play the movie.
Thanks but:

5 why would I copy gigs of data to my HD?
6 how do you open the files to play all in order?

Uh, a little ad-lib.. You already HAVE the TS folder with vobs on board.. Mount it and play!

If while mounted you're unable to have VLC play the directory, the one who ripped it may have missed something.

I myself have two disks in front of me.. One that didn't fly and one that went off without a hitch. You apply the logic..

I tried VLC in Windows and opened folder with videos. It worked fine. It loaded all the video. Why it doesn't work in Puppy?

I get this error with the sfs for racy
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "mpgv". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

Thanks.

Error:

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///mnt/sr0/VIDEO_TS'. Check the log for details.


The log does not exist

I have a few ripped dvds on my harddrive and found 2 ways to play them on vlc:

- Media --> Open Directory --> video_ts folder

- Media --> Open File --> video_ts.ifo in the video_ts folder

No idea if it will work on a dvd

This quick test has been done in Tahrpup but it should also work in Slacko.
