Answer 1

You might need a converter in some cases.

Some converters are free on www.freeware.com

Or  just type freeware converters in google

Answer 2

The DVD folders - Audio_TS and Video_TS contain VOB, IFO & BUP files.  IFO simply holds DVD navigational InFOrmation, such as, where a video chapter begins and where audio & subtitle streams exist w/in the MPEG-2 movie (VOB) file.  If an IFO file is opened, it would launch the DVD or a certain set of VOB files.

- Download a video converter - try Prism or Kate's (just google)

- Convert your VOB files to avi or wmv

- Import converted files to wmmaker
