About the BUP file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .BUP files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The most common use of the BUP file extension is as a backup file for the DVD IFO. Many programs like the InterVideo Win DVD, Apple DVD Studio Pro, and Nero ShowTime use this file extension as a backup file for their IFOs. The IFO files are used in storing different information on a DVD such as the tracks and subtitles. The BUP file is helpful in case the IFO file is corrupted or unavailable for use. The media player will instead use the BUP file whenever the IFO is not available.
