Open totem, click Movie, Open, navigate to the TS_Video folder and select all the .vob files and it should play, at least for me it does.

Can you play a dvd movie with totem or watch a youtube video with it? I thought Mint offer all codecs one would need.

When you select the vob files, are you selecting them all before trying to play it?

d dark lordd are you getting an error when you try to play the vob files via the video_ts folder?

depending on your media player, as linux has so many to choose from, i prefer VLC as it runs native on all OSs that I use, thus makes my life simpler to explain to my wife how to do things.

1. ctrl+d (open disk)
2. check the VIDEO_TS folder radial button
3. click the Browse... button
4. navigate to your VIDEO_TS folder and select it
5. click the Open button.
6. Click the Open button on the first (open disk) screen you navigated away from to get to your VIDEO_TS folder.
7. enjoy your movie.
