I mounted taxi driver/fight club in my dvd-rom drive and expected that there would be movie files but i get something like this.
VIDEO_TS.BUP VTS_01_0.VOB VTS_02_0.BUP VTS_02_3.VOB VTS_04_0.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_02_0.IFO VTS_03_0.BUP VTS_04_0.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_02_0.VOB VTS_03_0.IFO VTS_04_0.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_02_1.VOB VTS_03_0.VOB VTS_04_1.VOB
VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_02_2.VOB VTS_03_1.VOB

Those are movie files. VOB (Video OBject files) contain video, audio, and subtitles. IFO files contain indexing and navigation information, and BUP files are backups of IFO files. Check out the DVD Demystified FAQ for more information.

With some players, you can select the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and achieve proper dvd playback. However it is more common to point your dvd player to the directory containing the DVD files. If you're using mplayer you can use the command:

Code:

mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/hdc

replacing /dev/hdc with your dvd device or mount point.
