Two VIDEO_TS files in folder

<< < (2/3) > >>

--- Quote ---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?

Are you looking at your dvd rips in windows explorer?
I'm not sure what you are trying to do so I'll just supply a little more info in case helpful.

When you rip a dvd to a folder you get a folder called "VIDEO_TS".
This folder is full of files. All of those files make up the dvd.
Typically the VIDEO_TS folder is inside a another folder with the movie name.
Typically you have a bunch of movies inside of a folder called something like "Movies".

Examples:
Movies\Barry Lyndon (1975)\VIDEO_TS\bunch of files
Movies\Being There (1979)\VIDEO_TS\bunch of files
Movies\Witch (2017)\VIDEO_TS\bunch of files

To get the movies inside MC, use auto import.
To import the examples you would choose the folder named "Movies"

When MC imports a DVD it won't show up as a bunch of files, it will show up as one.
You can tag it and look up movie info.



If you insist on using windows explorer to browse to and play the dvd rip it's not difficult.
Double click the file in the VIDEO_TS folder called "VIDEO_TS.IFO".

I don't want to start a debate, but MKV isn't necessarily better than ripping to a folder.
They both have pros and cons and the better choice depends on the each disc that is ripped.

Manfred:
The reason I asked my orginal question is - Why is the file size in some cases shown incorrect in MC?

MC is showing file size that it needs to play the movie and nothing else.

syndromeofadown:
MC shows the file size of the main title, not the entire contents of the dvd.

Manfred:
But the file size shown in MC is in several cases 15 kb! So something is wrong or I miss something.
