.VOB Files

Hello,

I have two folders containing .vob files that make up one video. The
..files are named VTS_01-1.VOB, -2.VOB, -3.VOB and -4.VOB in both folders.

Can I rename the files in the second folder as follows: VTS_02_1.VOB,
VTS_02_2.VOB, etc. and then place them in the first folder and burn them
successfully?

I am ignorant as can be of this whole DVD thing.

Thank you for your assistance.

No, FiarHors,

Because the index entries in the .ifo file won't point to them.
If you are authoring a DVD to play on a "normal DVD player" it is best
to join them all together into one long file (with any name you wish)
and get the authoring program sort out the names, folders and
index.

Someone else will recommend a suitable program if you state your
Operating System.

My apologies to you. Upon further investigation the two folders are,
indeed, two different videos.
