Where as this video, without any particular notification on the packet, has verified (ie not just file size corruption) content ; of approx 61GB !
The physical media only contains 4.7GB (or 8.5GB for dual layer). Keeping in mind, "VOBs have nothing to do with the division into .VOB files in the DVD-Video directory structure"[1], simplistically .IFO files contain pointers to content, so it only appears there's 61GB because your software is probably traversing different paths to the same data. Simply copying VOB files from the directory structure, is likely creating duplicate copies of some subset(s) of data, and DVD ripping is a more complicated process. ~J [1] - https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Inside_DVD-Video/IFO_Files
