Vista - Burning functional DVD from VOB files

I have a standard VIDEO_TS folder(NOT copied from a commercial DVD) on my computer and while Windows DVD Maker recognizes the VOB files as video files and is willing to burn them onto a DVD, I want to watch the DVD as it was intended. I have tried making a DATA DVD with the video_ts file, but that won't play on a regular DVD player.

How do I make a VIDEO DVD using the full VIDEO_TS file instead of just a DATA dvd?

You can use Nero Burning Rom, choose Burn DVD-Video and drag the entire Video_TS folder over and burn.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the reply. I had an older version Nero before I got Vista, and, needless to say, it doesn't work on the new computer.

I did, however, d/l ImgBurn, created an ISO file and managed to burn a fully functional DVD out of that. A somewhat complicated process that I barely understand, but it's not a habit I'm going to start. Windows DVD Maker will work for 99% of what I will do.

Thanks for the welcome.

I noticed the dvd type I was trying to burned to was DVD+R. I've got a DVD player in my car and couldn't get them to work. As soon as I looked up my dvd player I found out it only plays DVD-R format, the +/- really matters. The DVD-R ones work just fine.
Also, MY question. I've got a whole bunch of Music DVD's and would like to split them up by chapters. I got a converter because my Windows Movie Maker does not support .vob files. Is there an upgrade to the Windows Movie Maker? Or what other software can I buy that WILL run .vob files and allow me to edit. I've successfully separated these once they have been converted, but 2 problems came up. 1. They took forever to convert. 2. The quality was reduced to garbage to get it to play right through the WMM. Thanks ahead of time.

Use the Ashampoo burner. It has an option made just for these folders really fast burner, never had a problem with it.
