VOB
VOB stands for DVD Video Object. It is basically one of the core files found on DVD-Video discs and contains the actual movie data, including an MPEG-2 video stream and support audio (MP2, AC3, DTS etc.) In order to view stand-alone VOB files, you need to have a DVD player software that supports VOB playback.
IFO
In video editing, IFO normally refers to a file on DVD-Video disc and stands for InFOrmation. IFO files basically contain all the information a DVD player needs to know about a DVD so that the user can navigate and play everything properly.
BUP
BUP files are simply backup copies of IFO files on a DVD-Video disc in case of corruption.
How to play DVD files
There are a variety of ways to play these files. However, some solutions are less suited than others. Everybody really should have some form of software DVD player installed.
Media Player Classic




Software DVD players

AfterDawn would recommend downloading and installing either PowerDVD or WinDVD to play back DVD from HDD. Both of these are commercial software packages.
