DVD Extractor .10 OS X

Before I bought my DVD burner, I used a program I
found on Limewire called DVD Extractor (.10, I think)
for OS X to rip a number of DVDs. I just recently
purchased a burner and have unsuccessfully tried to
burn the extracted VOB file from one of these discs.

Here's what I am having trouble finding an answer
for...

The extractor is a drag and drop application and it
saved the contents of the DVD as a single .VOB file. I
know the VOB file works, because I can play it using
DIVXray and other software and it looks fine.
However, when I burn it to a DVD-R or DVD-RW using
Toast it doesn't work. I followed the instructions
from a number of forums and in Toast selected
Other>DVD, placed the .VOB file in a subdirectory
called "VIDEO_TS" of the DVD which I named with all
caps and underscore. I burnt the disc, and nothing
recognizes it...Not Apple DVD player, not my home
player.

Should I be saving the extracted VOB file as disc
image first? As an ISO?

On my countless searches for an answer, I saw that a
lot of people have a number of files when they extract
a DVD...but I have only a single .VOB file, which I know
contains all that is needed because I can play it with
other Apps.

I've looked everywhere for an answer...suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Afterthought--should I name the VOB file something
specific? The title is just the name of the disc I
extracted it from.

Hi chadvirus,
If you want regular DVD players to recognize your DVD-
R?s, you can?t just make them with toast. You have to use
a DVD program like DVD Studio Pro or a free ware like
Transcoder. To make fancy DVD?s with titles and menus
DVD Studio Pro is the go. You can download it from
Limewire, it?s about 25Meg, get at least version 1.5. The
program is fairly complicated to use, but it comes with a
comprehensive instruction manuel. If your Studio Pro
doesn?t come with a serial get the latest Serial Box (also
on Limewire). If you just want a movie that plays, no frills
or extras I find Transcoder a very good application, it will
also recompress a large movie to fit a DVD-R.

Get yourself OseX, select the format elementary streams,
un-tick all the subtitles and in the audio window un-tick
all but the EN (English) soundtrack. You should end up
with two files that look something like this TITLE01-
ANGLE1.M2V and TITLE01-ANGLE1-AUDIO1.AC3, drag
them onto Transcoder (M2V first) in the Processing
window tick Multiplex and (Transcode only if the movie
is too big for a DVD-R). Press start and you will end up
with a folder named DVD, drag it onto toast and burn. If
you have trouble with sound sync drop the M2V file on
Mpeg Append (there?s a free OS 9 version) before you
start making your DVD.

You should now have, in affect a home movie you can
play any ware, copy it by simply using Disk copy or copy
it to a VHS tape._
