If you're just copying the main feature of a DVD, then it's usually a
multi-part VOB broken apart every gigabyte (unless the feature is so
small its just one gigabyte VOB file, by itself).  All the other
ancillary VOBs can be ignored (normally speaking, unless they've done
something odd to thwart piracy).

If you were converting it to a MP4 that didn't have that gigabyte
filesize problem, you could convert all the VOB sections into a single
larger file (as part of the conversion process).

If you had to keep it in gigabyte pieces, then there are players which
could be given a playlist of the parts to play (m3u or pls files, for
instance).  They're little more than a text file with each filename on
a new line, in the order of which file to play.

Bearing in mind that the gigabyte-sized chunks takes into account
limitations of the filesystem it's stored on, as well as the player
playing it, and probably networking, too.
