I have a dvd, and when I try to display the contents in windows explorer, there is nothing to show. I adjust the display setting, not to hide anything, and there is still nothing in explorer. Same result with command line in a dos window. I know there is file on this DVD( .vob files) because in another machine everything is ok, I see the content in explorer and the film is showing when I play it.
Any idea?

Clarification:
My dvd is a copy(burned) in DVD-R format.
I can play other dvd from dvd unit(commercial DVD).
Is there a way to find what format my DVD unit can support?
Thanks.

There are several types of DVD formats. Are you sure YOUR unit has DVD capability?
You do NOT say whether this is a "commercial" dvd or a home recorded, "burned", dvd.
If it is a commercial dvd, then you have a problem with the drive or the software.
If it is a "burned" dvd, maybe your player can't read it. There are 2 main types, -R/RW and +R/RW and some drives will NOT read both formats. (Dell is FAMOUS for putting ONLY +R burners in their systems!! They will play commercial discs, but on "burned" discs they can only detect files on +R discs.)
There are also 2 other "new" formats, HDTV and Blue-Ray which are still "fighting" over which will become more "popular". (At this time, the drives for those are somewhat limited, and what can read one can't read the other!!) EXAMPLE: There was, at one time, CD-R and CD+R; but now ALL new units are CD-R, ONLY. It won the "fight"!)
Hope this explanation helped.

It sounds to me that you may have a CD drive and that is why you cannot see the contents. Can you play the DVD from your computer?

ability mess united statescause partition corruption themes. in case you have get get admission to to to a diverse computing device, attempt downloading a loose partition table restoration utility (now not partitioning utility and not partition restoration utility). the difference between partition restoration and partition table restoration is that the 1st will ask you for yet yet another disk to save all archives recovered from previous not undemanding disk (sturdy for broken disks) yet PT restoration utility in undemanding words searches for the 2nd duplicate of the partition table, copies it to the broken, default one and you're sturdy to bypass. Partition table restoration takes in undemanding words some seconds on an identical time as while in comparison with countless hours for partition restoration. I used to have a PT restoration utility yet i've got have been given lost it someplace and extremely final time I had PT themes, I had to coach my Win XP CD to reformat the kit disk THEN reinstall XP.
