My PC friend sent me a video to look at that he shot with a digital camera. He sent it as a .ifo attachment. 128kb in size.
What Mac programs can I use to open and view it?

Raven...not sure if this will be helpful or not. It says that .ifo is a DVD info file...

heres the link: ifo file

Raven, I suspect that they've accidently sent you the wrong file; I don't think the .ifo file is useful by itself!

Dolphin:
Yes, it is a DVD video file. Just don't know what application runs it???

If my understanding is correct, and this is a big "if", the .ifo is only part of what comprises the actual dvd. The fact that you said that it's only 128kb in size also makes me think it's only part of the dvd.

EDIT: Rereading gunug's post, I think this is what he was saying.

From Dolphin's link above:

QUOTE

...An info file associated with a .VRO video file. The .VRO file contains the video stream and the .IFO file contains various scene and timing information. This is different from a .VOB file where that information is included in the file. Several manufacturers use .VRO/.IFO files. If present, the file VIDEO_TS.IFO consists of control and playback information for the entire DVD. VIDEO_TS.IFO is known as VMGI (The Video Manager Information file). This file is required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc. .....

Thanks Rob, that's what I was trying to say anyway!

I knew I heard it somewhere. (That's what made me go back and reread what you wrote.)
