I have old 2*8 and super 8 films I have earlier transferred to computer

DVD-TV system. So I thought It's as simple as earlier to transfer the data
from the DVD to the computer.
Earlier I used Pinnacle Studio in Windows, which is a very good program to
use, although unstable. But now Pinnacle Studio 9 can not read the files in
the DVD, although they seem to be mpeg-files. In Linux the content of my
DVD is:
[fossiili@localhost JVC_DVD_ROM_PVD]$ ls
VIDEO_TS
[fossiili@localhost JVC_DVD_ROM_PVD]$ cd VIDEO_TS
[fossiili@localhost VIDEO_TS]$ ls
VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_2.VOB
VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_1.VOB
[fossiili@localhost VIDEO_TS]$
I appreciate, if you can tell me some programs I could use
1. to read these VOB-files and transfer them to some common mpeg-format I
could move to vfat and after that process in Windows
2. to edit the files in Fedora Core 5 and write the results to DVD/CD or
VHS.
No wonder, that "Totem was not able to play this disk" - neither could any
program I have in my WindowsXP Home. It does not matter, because a cheap
device with my old TV can do that!
You're much nearer than you think. First, you do not need to change the
format or to edit those files in any way. As well as the files you list, you
should have a directory called AUDIO_TS. Use k3b or any other burning
application to copy both AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS onto your dvd. (It doesn't
matter if AUDIO_TS is empty.)
You then have a playable DVD. However, you will need other packages installed
to play them, as those are not supplied with FC, due to potential illegality
in some countries. You can get them through some of the external
repositories, probably freshrpms or livna. You certainly need libdvdcss, and
you should get every codec package you can see, as you will also need them
for mp3 and some other multimedia formats.

Hi
I have just carried out the above and created an iso image from VIDEO_TS
and AUDIO_TS directories using xcdroast
Ran mplayer directly on the iso image, it ran correctly as a complete
dvd!!
(I usually play the VOB files separately! in which case mplayer, xine
and totem-xine all work)
################################
I tried totem-xine on the iso image with the message
"The source seems encrypted, and can't be read.
Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?"
However
rpm -qa|grep -i libdvdcss
libdvdcss-1.2.9-2.lvn5.i386
################################
I tried xine on the iso image with the message
"couldn't find demux for ...iso
this usually means the file format was not recognised"
I don't understand what is going on!!!!
John
Try
xine dvd:/full/path/to/iso/image
and also make sure you have all the libdvd* libraries:
libdvdnav-0.1.10-2.lvn5
libdvdplay-1.0.1-4.lvn5
libdvdcss-1.2.9-2.lvn5
libdvdread-0.9.4-4.lvn5
