Webopedia is awesome, and Wikipedia is great too for some things, and there is always Google.

I think folks should try Google Searches when they are stumped, cause it is perhaps one of the best ways to find things, and also avoids having to have the same questions asked over and over and over.

Anyway, do you need definitions, or were you just making a point?

ISO = Disk Image - so you can have bootable disks with many files saved in one big archive, kinda like a ZIP file. Just like with ZIP, there are competing formats, like DMG, IMG, CDR, MDS, DAA, etc.

VOB = MPEG-2 file (usually) segment for DVD's

VTS = Video Title Set (I think) - the header / structure of DVD stuff. Kind of an index / outline of what is on the disk. Table of contents sorta.
