I've got a DVD recorder (the VCR replacement type) and have recorded a TV show
to DVD off air.
The disc shows only two .vob file of 1GB whereas there should be three of
these 1GB plus a smaller one as well as the very small one (the front end
menu)
The one visible in the file system is the first one.

Does anyone know how to access the rest of the files? I'm assuming it's some
sort of multi-session format or maybe some sort of packet writing format.
I've had a play with some of the cd/dvd utils and I've not, so far, found a
way to access other sessions.
I did find a program for Windows which managed to successfully rip the whole
show from the disc, but I'd rather not have to boot back to WinXP for
something which on the surface looks like a simple task.
Is there a CD/DVD reader utility/tool which can show the available sessions
and select which one to read?
Is it some weird format/ToC which I'm just not "getting"?
Any all pointers to docs, the right program etc appreciated.
Further reading on the matter suggests that I should specify that the disc in
question is a DVD+RW (the DVD Recorder can play back DVD- but only records to
DVD+ so reading DVD+R/RW is the important bit)
Below is some info from cdrecord
