VOBs, IFOs, and BUPs question.

[Nyntendou]

I have some VOB files I ripped off of a DVD. I want to put them on a DVD-R, but I have a question. Do I need the IFOs and BUPs?

If you play it like that, will the DVD just start playing when you put it in the DVD player?

Yes, you need the ifos and bups. You need all of it inside a folder called Video_TS. Without the you don't actually have a DVD.

Is there a way I can get them?

Re-author as a new dvd.

You can use ifoedit to recreate them. Click on Ifoedit to go to it's page in the tools section, then look at the guides linked to it. One of them covers doing this.

I did it and it worked. I have just one problem now.

The VOB that is suppose to play 2nd plays first. One is VTS 01_0 VOB and VTS 01_1 VOB. What causes this to happen?

When you rip disc to your hard drive, do not just "drag" VOBs and save them.

Use DVD Shrink or DVD Fab to rip the disc for you, they will do it correct, with all the parts needed to burn complete DVD later on.
