creating a proper DVD structure with the VIDEO_TS folder, the .IFOs and .BUPs is
the only way to get the .VOBs to play.

The easiest way to make a DVD is with VSO ConvertxtDVD. Just feed it
the VOB's, the mpg's, the avi's, the mkv or movs and out pops a DVD.
It will even burn it for you. It will even make custom menu's with
movie clips and audio. Not free but worth it if you want make quality
DVD from a variety of formats.

writing as a "Data Disc" should do the trick.

The standard ISO filesystem used on DVD disks limits individual files to 2gb. The standard DVD format allows for vob files of just about any size, but the 2gb...
