I need help... I downloaded the DVD through the mininova.org torrent, but I'm having a problem with burning a DVD with those files.

Here's what I get when I use Nero and try to copy the files in the VIDEO_TS folder on my harddrive onto the same folder on the DVD:

The VIDEO_TS.VOB file doesn't open on my computer either (maybe it's not supposed to; this is the first time I've done this).. when I double-click on it a black window opens that closes almost immediately.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

I did watch a bit of it on my PC, though. Very interesting to compare it to the version on Youtube; there are some definite changes. Most for the better, but some for the worse (for example, the music where the thief smims in the moat and hauls himself into the pipe is much more appropriate in the Youtube version. You can HEAR and FEEL his struggle as he tries to haul himself in! The scene just has more life in it. Whereas now, it's just a soft melody... a very well-known one at that which many people will immediately associate with a certain ballet, and which doesn't fit the action very well). I did like how expertly some of the voices were cleaned-up from the background noise that was present on Youtube (for example, when Zigzag talks to King Nod on the field). And there were also some musical choices which were better...

The menu looks very nice as well. Just having those pencil sketches (?) there immediately makes the viewer look at the film in a whole different way. It makes clear that you're supposed to pay attention to the process of how it was made, rather than simply watch it blindly.
