Downloading, Extracting, Burning Question

**DrSteve** · 03-12-2006, 03:31 AM

Noob question I know........but I am trying to download, extract, watch and burn my first (aaaaaaa, yes sadly I am virginal).

I downloaded a whole bunch of rar files from usenet and extracted them to a 4+ gig file. Let's call it movie.img.

I renamed this to movie.iso. So far so good, I think.

I opened/looked at this with isobuster.

I have AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files listed. However there is nothing listed in the AUDIO_TS, however there are files in the VIDEO_TS.

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_1_0.BUP
VTS_1_0.IFO
VTS_1_0.VOB
VTS_1_1.VOB large 1+ gig file
VTS_1_2.VOB large 1+ gig file
VTS_1_3.VOB large 1+ gig file
VTS_1_4.VOB large 1+ gig file
VTS_1_5.VOB large 300+ mg file

Is that it? Are there not Audio files? What do I do at this point? Did I screw up? Did I not download/extract correctly? Can I watch the video on my computer? Do I have to burn it to a DVD?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

You have to burn the image to DVD.

Those files are for DVD video content.

The image is good. I never seen a DVD with files inside the AUDIO_TS.

You could use nero and it had an option to burn those files to a DVD or any other burner. I think you could burn it as data but not 100% sure. Maybe someone could back me up.

What is throwing me off, is that the AUDIO_TS is empty. I loaded it using Daemon (interesting utility!), and the damm thing actually played!

Didn't you read my post. I have yet to see a DVD with the AUDIO_TS folder with anything in it. And those are from real DVD's. Don't be worried. Nothing supposto be in it.

I did read your post. And I especially thank you for your post!

My post was acknowledging the fact that what originally threw me off, was that the AUDIO_TS was empty. When I saw your post, I knew there was nothing to worry about.

So it seems all I have to do is burn the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files to a DVD. Not sure why the AUDIO_TS needs to be burned, since it is empty, but I presume there is a reason!?

So, when I have the time, probably tomorrow, I am gonna burn the above 2 directories to a blank DVD, and pop it into my DVD player, and hope that it works!

I am sooooooo very excited that I am about to pop my cherry!
