Plays just fine in Cyberlink PowerDVD, not even VLC can play this.

MediaInfo says it is MPEG-2, not MPEG-1.

Does it play if you open video_ts.ifo?

My mistake, but it does play when opening video_ts. It plays when opening the folder through "Open DVD/BD." It just doesn't open the individual vob files.

Playback of individual VOB files does not always work, and it is unlikely that it will get fixed. The IFO files contain information that is required for correct playback in some cases. So open the VTS_*.IFO files instead. That is probably what PowerDVD does too.

MediaInfo as has trouble with the file, as it fails to determine the correct duration for the file.
