having issue with playing or converting VRO file

[andy99]

Hi,
I got a DVD from a friend and I can't play it on any of my players.
There are 2 files VR_MANGR.IFO and VR_MOVIE.VRO
The VRO file is about 8 gigs and I can't seem to find anything that would convert it or play it.
I tried to use MPEG_Streamclip but was not able to export it or convert it.
I tried to change the extention to mpg but that did not work either.
Can anyone point me to the best way to either play this file or convert it?
Thanks

try changing the VR_MOVIE.VRO to MOVIE.MPG then try it.

VLC will play it and VideoStudio can convert it.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
I tried VLC but it can't play the file. Everything get pixalated after 5 seconds. Same thing happen when changing the extention from vro to mpg.

When I tried Tmpgenc_Authoring_Works, I can see the titles from the DVD and they are correct but when I click on the title to inmport I get an error
saying "This title is protected. You cannot select it"

Maybe an issue with the DVD itself?

*.vro I usually associate with DVD_RAM. What OS are you using? Is this file on your PC or DVD Drive?

The DVD was given to be by a friend who lives in Japan and recorderd a show from his DVD recorder from a local bordcast.
I found out the the DVD is CPRM protected and maybe this is the reason that I can't play it on my pc or regular DVD player.
Maybe this si the same reason that I can extract the video from it as well.
