VIDEO_TS.VOB doesn't exist

OK, I have had a brief look about this, but can't a solution for DVDauthor.

I have a DVD folder that works fine under using PowerDVD, now I want to burn to DVD with TMPGEnc DVD Author, when I select burn it prompts a message saying 'The provided folders's structure cannot be accepted by a DVD'. The only difference I can see compared to my other folder is this file. I can add the files and re author, but wondered if there was another ways round this.

Kind regards, Mark

There is no such file as VIDEO_TS.VOB, you should have VIDEO_TS.IFO and .BUP but not .VOB. As the .BUP file is a backup of the .IFO file, try copying that one and renaming it. See What is DVD at the top left to see what the file structure should be and compare it with what you have.

Well I have such a file in all my DVD folders under VIDEO_TS, as well as the two you mention. Anyway I tried copying the mentioned .VOB and it made no difference. I still get the message.
