It's the VOB files you want, actually. Both Mplayer and Xine should
be able to play it assuming its unencrypted. If it is encrypted, you
will probably need something like libdvdcss, which might run you afowl
of the DMCA, unless you are using a distro (like lindows) that
actually licenced it from the DVD Forum. Most don't.
.BUP and .IFO files are not encrypted... if you only see those then
it's probably because the .VOB files are encrypted. There are some
linux DVD authoring FAQ's which will probably give you a better
understanding of what your options are.
