Click to expand...

Thanks MacAttack, I have the folder on the desktop which when I click will not allow me to select "open with", then when I open that it has two folders "audio TS" and "video TS" the audio folder is blank and the video folder has loads of individual files IFO and VOB files, all different numbers etc. which of these do I select to play. Sorry for being ditz....

open up 'dvd player' (found under applications), click 'file' then 'open dvd media' then select your 'video_ts' folder of the movie you want to watch

enjoy!!!!

ps. burn it to a disk...dvds are rather large and just a few of them can eat an entire hard drive

ahh, sorry i forgot they ripped as a video ts file

great thanks lads, its better to burn maybe as it skipping through each individual file is a little annoying...it worked though cheers.....

i believe that it should not skip between files, but then again ive only fast forwarded through movies this way just to make sure the rip worked and doesnt freeze up before i burn it

You should not have to skip through files. DVD player if you point it at a Video_TS Folder will play the movie like it was on DVD. What program did you use to get the Video_TS Folder on your desktop?

oh, i thought we were talking about more of a 'lag' or 'brief pause' as opposed to having to completely select new files. it should most definately play through your entire movie.
