You're an electrical engineer and you can't figure this out? Wow. I'm a mechanical engineer, and even I had no problems noticing that the *.bup ('backup') files are part of the DVD file structure, and that *.nfo sounds enough like 'info' to try opening those files with a text editor.

If you Google a few things, poke around the data structure of known sources of video (e.g. a pressed DVD?), and post a few non-whiny questions, you'd probably find that the way things are done on most of the LD rips is more robust than 'normal' MPEG4 files (e.g. standard file type, menus, audio, etc.), and considerably easier to deal with than a good portion of the *.avi posts you'll come across.

I still can't believe you'd expose your ignorance so clearly, and then proudly qualify yourself as an engineer. At university, you're really supposed to be learning how to figure things out, not just mastering Ohm's law. For shame!
