With the development of computer technology, in order to achieve the portability of notebook computers, notebook computer manufacturers began to let their newly designed notebook computers abandon the DVD drive. However, DVD discs and Blu-ray discs are still widely used. Therefore, some people think of copying the video files in the DVD disc to the computer, so even if their laptop or desktop computer does not have a DVD drive, they can use some DVD player software to play these video files. Generally, the VIDEO_TS file will contain all the data of the video file in the DVD, so as long as people can play the VIDEO_TS file, they can play the video in the DVD. So, what exactly is the VIDEO_TS file? Can my Mac device play VIDEO_TS files directly? Is there any other method that can help me play VIDEO_TS files on Mac devices? This article will explain these problems in detail. I hope it can help you who have the same questions.

Part 1: What is Video_TS?

Video_TS is a packaged file format. Generally, videos in TS format have the characteristics of high video quality, large size, and accurate restoration, so it is widely used in the field of DVD discs and Blu-ray discs. Under normal circumstances, the Video_TS folder will contain all video data and playback information in DVD or Blu-ray discs. When opening the Video_TS file, we will find that the VIDEO_TS folder is composed of three types of files, which are VOB files, BUP files and IFO files. At present, there are a lot of DVD playback software that can not only play ordinary MP4 files, but also directly play Video_TS files. Therefore, if your Mac device does not have a DVD drive, you can copy the Video_TS file from the DVD to the Mac device and play it to play the video from the DVD.

Part 2: Can I Play Video_TS on Mac Directly?

Although we cannot directly play WMV files on Mac devices, the difference is that we can directly play Video_TS files on Mac devices. Because Mac developers installed a default "DVD Player" App on Mac devices, this App can recognize DVD and Video_TS files and play them. Therefore, using the default "DVD Player" app, we can play Video_TS files directly on the Mac device. The specific operation of how to play Video_TS on Mac is as follows:

Step 1: You can use Siri or direct search to find the "DVD Player" App and run it.

Step 2: In the client side of the "DVD Player" App, click "File" and select "Open DVD Media". Find the VIDEO_TS folder you want to play, and finally click "Open". The "DVD Player" App will start playing the VIDEO_TS file.

It is worth noting that because this "DVD Player" App is installed on Mac devices by default, there is no guarantee that developers of Mac devices will continue to install it on Mac devices in the future. So, if you can't find the "DVD Player" App on your Mac device, it means that the developer of the Mac device didn't install it on your Mac device. At this time, your Mac device cannot play VIDEO_TS files directly, and you need to use third-party software to play VIDEO_TS files.

Part 3: How to Play Video_TS with Player on Mac?

As said before, when you find that your Mac device cannot play Video_TS files directly, you don't have to be frustrated, because you can play Video_TS files on Mac devices with the help of third-party software.
