“I have kept collection of VOB files from list of various DVD’s that I had borrowed from my friend. I used to play those VOB files by accessing them from their location. After few months, those VOB files that were saved on the respective drive became inaccessible. I think this is due to the presence of more number of bad sectors on the hard drive which is blocking access to the saved VOB files. If this is the case, can anyone brief me about how to rescue VOB files without causing damage to original file contents? Thanks a lot”
