High end video recordings, such as those which you may rent from a video store, hold the media files in a VIDEO_TS folder ("Video Title Set"). It contains the compressed video and sound files, as well as the information that allows the player to access them in proper order. Files contained in the Video_TS folder include .VOB and .IFO:

The .VOB files contain the actual video and audio data, subtitles, additional viewing angles, pretty much everything you see and hear. They are up to a gigabyte in size and are numbered sequentially.

The .IFO files contain information about the .VOB files. Your DVD player will use these to locate and sequence the video and audio, figure out where each chapter begins and ends, etc. The .BUP files are backups of the .IFO files.
