  1. I have a DVD that I would like to use in a room that I do not have a player. It is a workout disc that I own and would like to use it on a Raspberry PI with KODI. The video player does not recognize a VIDEO TS folder to play but will play the individual VOBs. I would like to use the DVD menu option so that is why I do not have it in an mkv format. I read that an ISO should play fine so I tried IMG burn to create an ISO from the folder but only the audio plays properly with no video. Is there another software method I could try to put it in an ISO so I can retain the menu format?

    Did you buy a MPEG2 hardware decoder licence? http://www.raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/ Without that, the Raspberry Pi will only play the audio.

  3. I guess that explains it. Was not aware that I needed to do that. Thank you!

    I use Raspberry Pi2 B, not sure what OP was using, maybe older Raspberry Pi, not that latest. So, using OpenElec and Kodi, I could play even video from VIDEO_TS structure, just VOB's, even video track but no DVD navigation - menu but I think it could not deinterlace (home videos). That mpeg2 license caused to recognize DVD navigation and VIDEO_TS structure as you stated. But I gathered that it was played just using software, no hardware acceleration without that license.
    The same with VC1, as long there would be VC1 (Microsoft format) that software could handle without license (SD resolution I guess) it would be alright.

    I am actually using Openelec and Kodi on a raspberry pi 2. Video_TS structure folders were not playing unless I clicked on the individual VOB files. I was trying to find support for pulling up the root menu of the dvd.
