When you installed VLC, did you associate VLC with DVD files?

with xp I right clicked on the dvd folder and got the response
"open with"
I no longer get this

michaelxx,

Right click on the file, and then select Properties; Under General Tab, click Change. Now, select your Default Player VLC. Afterwards, click OK twice.

when I right click on the folder i don't get the option
to
"open with"
in the drop down menu

you cant play a folder, right click on a vob inside folder

 

Good catch Rotary...

 

thanks again for your help
when I open the folder it contains 3 vts 01 files NOT VOB
even though i convert them to dvd with win avi converter

VOB is not the name of the files, is the extension. They are vts_01_1.vob, vts_01_2.vob...You also probably have some files vts_01_0.ifo and vts_01_0.bup.
Right click on the one with VOB extension.

If you cannot see the extension of the files, when you browse the folder in Windows explorer, go to Tools->Folder Option->View, and un-check "Hide extension for known file types". Cick Apply->Okay. Now you should be able to see the files extensions.

 

reply thanks for that I did what you said
when i open it it shows 2 bup file 2 ifo files

AND 3 VOB FILES

now i want to burn to a dvd player to play on my stand alone dvd player
Do I burn all the files or just the vob files

regards

Michael
Just curious do you use vista or xp

 

I am using XP.
You have to burn all the files that re in that folder to DVD. You can use Nero if you have it, if not use ImgBurn .Have any of them?

no I don't have them
I think i will switch back to xp as i have had problems since I installed vista
