sorry for the off topic but need a quick answer and figured someone here could help

I have this dvd i got in a trade and it wont play in my dvd player but plays on my computer. i copied the files off and when i try to reburn them with nero it says that vts_01_0.bup should be the same as vts_01_0.ifo

any ideas on this...can I copy the ifo file and rename the copy to bup? would that fix it? how would i know which file is the 'correct' version

BUP files are "back-up files" of IFOs. DVD players will use BUP files if the IFOs are not readable. Try this:

- Move vts_01_0.bup to another folder for safe keeping if needed again.
- Make a copy of vts_01_0.ifo and rename the copy vts_01_0.bup.
- Attempt burning again.

If it still doesn't play, move the original vts_01_0.bup back and do the opposite -- move vts_01_0.ifo out and copy vts_01_0.bup, renaming it vts_01_0.ifo.

Hope that makes sense.

thanks, i remembered someone saying here that the bup file was a backup so figured i could do this but like i said didnt know which one was corrupt and really didnt want to play the trial and error game.

I actually ran it through dvd shrink (since it was already smaller than the 4.7 gigs it didnt shrink anything) the resulting files didnt give me an error when i burnt them and more importantly played on my dvd player.

thanks for the help
