OK, so I abbreviated "Bill's News". What he posted is quoted here for you
here. The point is that this question has been asked and answered several
times so I thought that pointing Janet to the most detailed and complete
answer without regurgitating the whole thing would be sufficient.

While there is much available on the net regarding DVD structure
and you might find it of interest to read, I'll just make this
comment which might be helpful:
The data on your hard drive, in any given folder has no specific
organization. If any natural sequence occurs, it is probably by
time of arrival. What you see when you view a directory in
Explorer, is whatever order you (or its programmer) have chosen.
The design of the DVD structure is specific. In part this is to
aid in data protection. For example, the BUP files, backup
copies of the IFO files, are specifically stored as far away
from the IFO files as possible. Now, there is no reason for a
DVD player to insist that this specific structure be adhered to,
but it is just one more way to assure factory creation rather
than a pirated copy.
Modern DVD players, especially those which handle non-DVD
formats (like DivX) disregard this old constraint. Thus, you'll
find that some players will play DVDs written by Nero in data
format.
Both ImgBurn & Nero do the same thing, they create an ISO image,
properly organized, prior to burning. The difference is that
ImgBurn is designed only for DVD video format, while Nero is
designed to be a general burning program. Thus Nero asks what
your intent is (data, video, music, etc.) but ImgBurn knows what
your intent is.
And no, I did not mean that IFO files could be left out. They
are the directory to the VTS sets.
