Two VIDEO_TS files in folder

(1/3) > >>

Manfred:
For a few DVD Rips I have two VIDEO_TS files in the associated folder. For example one is 11kb large the other may be 5 GB of size.

Why are two files of the same name in the "DVD-Name" folder?

Have I done something wrong?

For this DVD's MC show up not the correct size it picks up the first file in the folder which is the smaller one.

Hendrik:
You should probably show file extensions. They are not just called VIDEO_TS, but have an extension. One is actual video data, and one is the DVD "playlist", ie. that instructs how to actually play it properly.

VIDEO_TS.ifo is the file you choose to play the DVD. There is only one VIDEO_TS.ifo for standard DVD's. DVD Audio discs have another one but it's in the Audio_TS folder.

Instead of looking through DVD rip folders you can auto import DVD's into Media center and it will show up as one file.

You can also drag your entire DVD folder into Playing Now it will show up as one file.

Manfred:
Both are Media Center Files. In the file properties:
- The small file is .ifo
- The large file is .vob

Should the filepath point to .ifo or .vob?

I was summing up the file size and then I recognized there are some DVD's with 15 kb etc where as other are of filesize ~5GB in MC..

Why is the file size in some cases incorrect?

blgentry:
Yet another reason to use MKV files instead of DVD structures.  DVD structures and ISOs are just a big pain.  I sort of understand the desire to "have everything" from the disc, but the down sides are huge.  MKVs really make things easy in this respect.
