Experiments

First experiment.

  • Took a luminous landscape dvd and ripped it using DVD Decryptor. It created a subdirectory full of files totalling a little over 4 Gb (the dvd is about 2-1/4 hours in length).
  • The files were a bunch of VOBs (the largest files) plus BUPs and IFOs.

Second Experiment

  • I tried playing the movie from Windows Media Player.
  • Finally found the File menu by right-clicking on the Windows flag at top left.
  • Browsed to the subdirectory and picked the first file.
  • Seemed to work fine.

Third Experiment

  • I then dragged several of the files to DivX Converter, but that didn't work. It complained about unrecognized file types, variable frame rates and a missing AC3 file.

Fourth Experiment

  • I tried QuickTime.
  • Browse to files, but it didn't seem to recognize them as movies.
