Thanks for any help

You have a 5.79 file ? That means you already have an ISO or what?
I'm going to go ahead and assume that you have the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders (with the VOB, IFO, BUP files in the Video_ts folder.)

If you want to make an ISO from that.. you can use MagicISO like Grawl suggested. I personally use ImgBurn.

Using ImgBurn..
1. Set it to "build" mode and add both the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder to your compilation.
2. In the options tab on the right side, the Filesystem format should be set to ISO9660,UDF 1.02 by default. That filesystem is used often for DVD Video for best compatability with dvd drives and players.
3. Labels tab, you can label it whatever the hell you want.
4. And then at the top, set Output to Image File, instead of Device
5. Hit the build button.

Hrmm.. I guess you only need those filesystem format and labeling if you were making the ISO for burning.
But, if you just need an ISO for re-encoding or transcoding sakes.. you can use whichever program is easier for you, I guess.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
