Sometimes (Usually when downloading torrents) I get something in DVD format. Its in a bunch of little files. I have no idea how to read these. Is there some program that can turn them into a single video file? (I don't burn DVDs so there useless to me in that format) It's starting to get annoying because so many torrents are in DVD. Help me please! :oops:

by "little" files do you mean no bigger than 1GB.

You should get a couple of small metdata files and a series of VOB files which contain the actual content.

These files are the physical files you will see on a burnt DVD. Pop in a dvd and look under VIDEO_TS, these are likely the files you are talking about.


To burn to disc, you must make a DVD structure:
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS

Audio_ts is usually empty, whilst video_ts has all the files for the dvd in.

There's a few ways to burn to disc, in the simplest format:
Quote:
1) Create a 'Data DVD' (DVD-ROM (UDF)).
2) Drag the 'VIDEO_TS' file into the app.
3) Create a folder called 'AUDIO_TS' - leave it empty.


Your DVD should now look something like this:

( o ) DVD-ROM (UDF)
-VIDEO_TS
-AUDIO_TS

4) Make sure your 'VIDEO_TS' folder doesn't have a '.DS_Store' file within it.

5) Enjoy your DVD.


The files under video_ts should include:
video_ts.ifo
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
and VTS_01_1...n.VOB files

Thats your actual content.

Do you mean a handful of different kinds of files? (see what Spud said in that case)

Or do you mean *.r## (.r01, .r02, etc)? Those little RAR file pieces? they ar archives you can unpack to get the movie's DVD format structure (like in what Spud said).

Great. Spud described the DVD directory structure for nothing. :lol:

I thought so B) Just use winRAR (which you probably know). I HATE when dvdrs come packed up like that, wastes disc space and then you don't wanna share back the torrent. :lol: when are people gonna realize that ISO files are the best!!! You can burn it or just mount it as an image and play from hdd while sharing it back! even if its just a data disc image (like an image of 3 AFR avi files for example) it stills works great.
