How to burn a DVD when I only have VOB files and not much else?

Question

I have some .vob files (entire VIDEO_TS folder of a DVD but not any other file or folder like AUDIO_TS, etc…) and I want to burn a disc compatible with a DVD player.

How can I do this? No DVD burner like PowerDVD helped.

My recommendation would be to use ImgBurn:

Basically you just need to select the VIDEO_TS folder and it'll help you select the right file system etc. with helpful prompts along the way:

If you need detailed guides:

imgburn is so good that I even use it on Linux, through wine – evilsoup Jun 19 '13 at 22:32
@evilsoup: +1, me too! It's fantastic IMO, and the only disc burning app I've ever used since I ditched that poster-child for bloat called Nero. – Karan Jun 19 '13 at 22:36

If you have a Ubuntu/Debian/Linux/etc machine, you can use the solution suggested here to make an ISO file and then burn that to your DVD.

If you have only Windows, you may try converting the VOB files into a format usable by Windows Movie Maker, and then using WMM to create the DVD.

I have just resolved this problem for myself after tried and failed by many ways (switching DVD format types or converting to .mp4, .wmv, etc)

To make the DVD compatible with DVD player, my solution here is to use Free Video Converter on Windows. Sorry that I don't have solutions on Ubuntu for now.

Steps:

Install the app
Click Video button and select the original .vob file, often named VIDEO_TS
Click option To DVD and wait to see the magic happens

Good luck

This is an old post, but for anyone still looking and seeing this page, the simplest method is to open Nero Express and select create a DVD movie, just drag and drop or copy the files and click burn and the whole thing is done for you automatically. It could not be easier. And Nero is available for Ubuntu too, but not for Mac.

There is nothing special about a DVD. It is just a regular DATA DVD.
(Not quite true, but usually the difference won't matter.)

Just burn a mode-2 DATA-DVD.
With a VIDEO_TS folder containing the VOB's and an empty AUDIO_TS folder.

99 out of a 100 DVD players will be happy with that.
