DVD+RW Disc Issue: Some files Hidden on disc, playable, but not shown as a file.

[SoundFX09]

Hey All,

I am trying to extract files from a DVD+RW Disc (Since these discs are rewriteable, and You can copy files from the disc to the Hard Drive) And I Have just run into a problem.

Some of the Videos on the disc are not seen (or Hidden) in the folder but when I play the disc via Windows Media Player, they are shown. I am trying to extract all the Videos from the disc. (The Videos are in VOB Format, by the way)

Any help on how to find these files and extract them?

The DVD+RW Discs I am using are Memorex DVD+RW's with 4GB on each disc.

Try to unhiden them: Start => Run => Type in “control folders” and press “OK” =>Click “View” and hook “Show hidden files and folders”=> Press “OK”

I Have Already tried that, and nothing has changed concerning the files on the disc.

Some newer disks have some DRM bollocks. They could also just be unreadable to windows. If tinkering around with explorer doesn't work, you can try getting into it from a linux distro. Just make a bootable USB. There's plenty of guides around here for doing them. I reccomend ubuntu for stability and puppy linux if the USB is really small.
