I'm a newbie at this and was wondering if you can preview the VOB files using PowerDVD like the way DVD2SVCD is done. I used DVD Decrpt and follow by DVD2One. It looks like the all the files of the Main Movie is there but when I try do a preview using PowerDVD it can't find the movie. I'm trying to make sure the movie is there before I burn.

I'm trying this with Lilo and Stitch. Is this suppose to work?

Thanks.

You can, but you need to open the VIDEO_TS.IFO using powerdvd
I always preview my copies before burning just in case =)

So, I presume you can't use the virtual drive for VIDEO_TS directory?
How do you open the IFO? Sorry, I'm not sitting in front of PC right now to look for it.

you dont even need to bother with a virtual drive, you can just open the .IFO file directly in powerdvd. Or you can drag the .IFO file right onto the powerdvd window and it will open.
I am using PowerDVD-XP so it may be different in other versions, but I'm confident it's the same for all versions.

Thanks! I didn't know it was that simple. Thanks again. The movie looks great.

Actually one more question. I noticed the screen did not cover the screen all the way. There's a 1/4 of inch black bars on each side. Is this caused by PowerDVD or the movie itself?
