"I hope this is not too lame, but I really need your help because I have no clue how to change a video on my laptop. My friend has given me a copy of his official DVD and I wanted to put it on YouTube. I have previously successfully converted Quicktime movies to .avi to upload, but this is a DVD and the files are .BUP, .IFO and .VOB files. Does anyone know how to convert those files into .avi?”
What are BUP, IFO, & VOB files?
Every DVD disc is composed of three different types of files: BUP, IFO and VOB. Each format is a specific tool that DVDs use to play on a DVD player. BUP is a back-up file, which are exact copies of IFO files, supplied to help in case of corruption. Video players may not allow DVD navigation when IFO or BUP files are absent. IFO files store all the information a DVD player needs to know about a DVD so that the user can navigate and play all DVD content properly, such as where a chapter starts, where a certain audio or subtitle stream is located, information about menu functions and navigation. While VOB is the main video, image, video and audio used in DVD menus are stored in VOB files.
