Part 1: What is a Video_TS Folder & Why Do You Need It?

How to make a video_TS folder? Don't worry, we will cover that soon. So what is a video_TS folder? Short for Video Transport Stream, a video_TS folder is a DVD folder that stores the DVD movie data. Generally speaking, a DVD should have 2 folders: an audio_TS folder and a video_TS folder. While the audio_TS folder is usually empty, the video_TS folder contains all DVD video data with three types of folders.

  • Video_TS.IFO: The folder is responsible for DVD control and playback information, for instance, what is loaded first and the number of volumes. You can find files of DVD chapters, DVD menus, subtitles, audio tracks, etc. here.
  • Video_TS.BUP: Here contains the copies of IFO files, which are used to play the DVD video correctly when the IFO files can't be read.
  • Video_TS.VOB: This is the main body of a DVD video, which consists of video & audio data, subtitles, and other data of the video. Sometimes you can open it directly with a VOB player.

It is worth noting that the video_TS directory can't be directly opened by most media players. You can only open it with a physical DVD player or specialized media player. And this is one of the reasons that many people want to make or copy the video_TS folder to MP4 files. Because it's the best way to prevent DVD damage or burn the movie to another blank disc. You can also play your favorite DVD movie at any time without looking for the dusted discs on the shelf.

Sometimes, many people like to create a video_TS folder, too. Maybe you want to create a Blu-ray/DVD photo slideshow or sometimes you want to make your own Blu-ray disc right from videos, so you can transform the precious videos into Blu-ray folder/ISO files for long-term preservation and better sharing. So how to create a video_TS folder? This will be introduced specifically later in the following part. Just make sure to continue reading.
