How have you saved the file? If you have saved it as an ISO (or other type of) image, you can mount that image with a program like "Daemon Tools Lite". This creates a virtual dvd drive, "mounting" the image is like inserting that file into the virtual drive. You can then play it as a normal DVD with any DVD playing software.

If it saved using the defaults (Video TS folder with Vob files) you can use something like Cyberlink Power DVD to open it, just open the player & browse to the folder you saved it in.

I think you might be able to right one of the .VOB files & choose "Open With" too & choose whatever player you have installed.

DVD Shrink also plays the files you save from a dvd.
