It's often difficult to figure out when you're new to this.  Don't worry,
in a year or so, you'll flame the ones who make the mistakes.  :)

Ah, Ok, it looks like you have a directory with VOB files in it. That's a
different thing.  

If the directory containing said VIDEO_TS file is called mymovie then, in
the directory where you have the mymovie directory, you would do

mplayer -dvd-device ./mymovie dvd://

See if that works.

(Otherwise, you can use vlc and choose open directory, but I haven't done
that in awhile, so don't remember the details.
