No. 1 Get rid of Real Player :P

Download VLC player (free). You can load files from the File menu or dropping files into the play window.

Regarding Real Player, it would be useful to know what format those movies are in.

you could always just download CCCP Its Combined Community Codec Pack
dont mind the Hammer and Sickle logo.

it will install all codecs you need to play any file with any player you like, it also comes with a packaged Media player classic. (which IMO is great small and dose everything you need)

the picture you have attached is only the folders where the files are in. pick one and then see what extension the file is ie .avi .mov .mp4 .....

Feck Real Player, VLC is the one you need.

Anyways, you can select the Video_TS which will start the DVD. If you just want to play the movie then select VTS_01_1 file and select VLC as the player to open it with.

EDIT: Forgot about that you can right-click on the folder and select "Play with VLC Player"

Don't go into the folder. Right click the folder itself and select 'play with VLC'.

ok so what you need to do is use the the open folder option in VLC and navigate to where those files are. they appear to be (ill assume legal backups of DVD's)


then they should open an play correctly

yoyo

The Video_TS.IFO file is what you should open. This will launch the menu of your DVD disc rip. VLC will do the job, not sure Real Player will (and I wouldn't recommend it's use in the first place!)
