Burn DVD Video using .VOB Files without .BUP and .IFO

Hi, here is my another experience. Alright, i downloaded some one movie which had 4 parts. All of it was .VOB files. I knew VOB is DVD Video files because previously i had deal with them before and i am not new to hear that file format. But one thing made me suprise is that, VOB files cannot be burned as DVD Video without the .IFO and .BUP files which will actually contain the movie chapter information. And this is the first time to deal it this way without that 2 additional files. After googling, i read some articles and other user's opinions and as result of it i downloaded IFOedit. Here is the fun part, i just open IFO Edit application which is just around 500KB and create the IFO by just locating the VOB file. IFOEdit did the magic, it took some time to analyze the VOB files and create Chapters based on it and outputs .IFO and .BUP file. Now, what i wanted can be done, I just open Nero Burning Rom 6.6 and selected DVD-Video and added all the files .VOB, .IFO, and .BUP. But Nero showed that the IFO not found due to the Naming conflict and i changed the name of IFO and BUP manually and it worked wonderful. Taadaaaa.... Nero Burned the DVD-Video without any problem. Hope my experience will help you guys too. Oh ya, the great magic was done by that tiny software called IFOedit. Its a free application, could help you out if faced same problem as i did. Below is the screen shots:
