Hello, I have an old DVD player which optical drive is not working anymore. Luckily it has an USB. 

I have the contents of a DVD disk in my hard disk, and i want to play it on the DVD Player, but unfortunately the player does not see the files in their current "state" , im attaching a screenshot so you can see the current dir structure and file formats.

 

My question is what can I do with these files, so the DVD Player can read them from the USB Drive ? Must they be converted to some other DVD formats or the dir structure is wrong ?

Put them in an ISO file? Windows will mount the ISO files as if they're discs.

If they're CSS or whatever encrypted, use something like deCSS or DVD Decrypter (it's been a while) to make the files encryption-free.

If they aren't, throw 'em into an ISO

But its a stand alone DVD Player...not a computer.

Nah, they are not encrypted. Its not a ripped content, just a bunch of music videos made into a DVD format with a simple menu for navigation.

Handbrake?

You'll need to find out what video format(s) your DVD player recognizes (you should be able to find this info in its book, or online if you don't have the manual that should have come with it).  Once you have that info, you'll need to use something like Handbrake to convert what's on the DVD to a supported format.
