Are they enclosed in VIDEO_TS folders (with other file names ending in .IFO and .BUP) ?
If so, use something like Toast to burn a DVD - just copying/writing the .VOB files alone to a DVD won't end up with disc you can watch on your home DVD player.

I recently got Toast. It has a Video_TS DVD option that it has which allows you to drop a complete Video_TS folder into it. It works perfectly.
There is another burn option that allows you to drop individual VOBs in for burning. This method does not allow compression, and does not copy subtitles, as does the first option.

I have titanium but I think that's the same program.
The VOB burning is labeled DVD-Video. Just drop the VOB(s) into the open area. I believe that they will play one after the other. I only used it for a single VOB so I don't know what happens with more than one, but it does work fine.
