Hello,

I have a whole set of VOB files ready to burn! But do I need any .ifo or .bup files and where do i put them? In the video_ts folder, or next to the video_ts folder?

you can get your answers in the glossary section of this site:

IFO

In video editing, IFO normally refers to a file on DVD-Video disc and stands for InFOrmation.

While the main content of DVD-Video disc are the VOB files which contain the actual MPEG-2 audio, video and subtitle streams, the IFO files provide information for DVD player where DVD-Video disc's chapters start, where certain audio tracks are located, etc.

BUP

BUP files found on DVD-Video discs are simply backup copies of IFO files and are only needed if the original IFO on disc gets corrupted.

if you are burning the files to DVD, then Yes you need the IFO and BUP files! And they should be with the VOB files, in the same folder!
