I recently borrowed the FNAF movie DVD from my library and tried to burn it onto a blank disc. After copying the files into a folder on my PC and using the 'send to' method to burn them, my PC confirmed the disc was ready. When I played it on VLC, it was really laggy, but I discovered that accessing the VIDEO_TS folder allowed me to play the movie, menu, and special features without issues. However, it still won't work on any DVD players or consoles I own. I chose a formatting option that permanently burned the info onto the disc, and I'm pretty sure I finalized it correctly. I've only bought these discs today, so I doubt it's a disc issue. What could be causing this problem? Is it a drive issue, or maybe something I did wrong in the burning process? Also, I think it's legal since I'm only using it for personal use, not selling it.

You should try using Handbrake for DVD ripping. Standard Windows CD programs often have limitations that make it hard to deal with proper DVD-Video formats.
It sounds like the DVD wasn't copied correctly. Simply copying the files isn't enough; DVDs require a special structure. You might need software like mkisofs to create an image in the correct format before burning it.
I looked for mkisofs but got confused trying to use it. Could you recommend any user-friendly software or a tutorial video? I don’t really understand command prompts.
