How to play VOB files that were inside a DVD disc?
Open Ubuntu Software Center, search for vlc
and install it.
Then go Applications --> Sound and Video --> VLC. On VLC press Media --> Open folder and select the folder that contains the VOB files.
Finally I figured out how to do it. These are the steps:
- Create a subdirectory called
VIDEO_TS
and move all files there. -
Create an DVD ISO file by executing:
genisoimage -iso-level 1 -dvd-video -volset-size 1 -o output.iso root_folder
-
Mount the DVD ISO by executing:
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop output.iso /media/cd/
The result will be a compatible ISO image which can be played using any video player (Totem, MPlayer, Dragon, etc.).
For those ones who are too ubuntufied, you can use K3B to create a DVD project and select "Create image only" before burn it.
Just install VLC player it will play all VOB files.
Install VLC from the Software Center.
Also, you need this:
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
I found the following solution using mplayer:
mplayer -mouse-movements dvdnav:////home/me/FOO
Here /home/me/FOO is the directory where the .vob
files reside.
