How to Play Video_TS Folder

I have over 100 Video_TS Folders on my Mac... can Apple TV send these to my TV? What about a networked DVD player... it should be able to play Video_TS Folders because they are in fact DVD's!!! I do not want to convert all my DVD's to some ridiculous Playstation format or mv4 ac3 or whatever other useless format!! Surely there is a solution for playing existing DVD files from computer over a network to my TV. Thanks for any answers.

There is a solution and I have been using it now, thanks to Andy760. The solution is described in the following thread (IRL), or you can search for "streaming AVCHD MTS files to Apple TV" in this forum.

Essenitlaly install "Air Video server" and you can stream any type of video from your PC or Mac to your TV through Apple TV and an iPhone or iPad. It works great..

  • How to play VIDEO_TS.VOB files?

    I have a tv show that I would like to watch on my MacBook Air. I inserted the DVD in my external dvd drive and an image of a cd showed up on my desktop. I opened it and it had two folders (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS). The AUDIO_TS folder is empty but the VIDEO_TS folder has .BUP, .IFO , and .VOB files. I bought the show online and I checked their FAQs and it says that all their DVDs are Region Free and will work in any country and can be played on any computer and dvd player. It works fine on my blu ray player but I want to watch it on my MBA, how do I do that?

    Never mind. Got it played on the built in DVD Player app.

  • how to convert Video_TS folder in to a img. file ?

    I don't no how this happen, my project was built in a Video_TS + Audio_TS folder and a dmg. file was create. I did not save the project and all I have are those files ... I want to have a img. file that I can burn using Disk Utility. How can I do this ?
    Merci,
    Jean

    Hi Jean,
    I'm slightly confused by your post. You say that a DMG file was created, right? A DMG file is the type of image file that is burned by disk utility. IMG files are image files that are burned on Windows PCs. So, if you have already have a DMG file, just open it in disk utility and burn. However, if you only have the Video_ts folder, and wish to make it into a DMG, then you can use the free utility DVD Imager which will create a DMG out of a Video_ts folder. Good Luck!

  • Muvo V100 : how do I play a folder once?

    I've got a Muvo V00?
    I can play a track once, repeat a track, or repeat a folder, but I don't know how to play a folder once. Does anyone know how to do it's Thanks a lot in advance.

    Sure, for example: when I'm going to bed, I like to fall asleep with quiet music in the background (connected mp3 player to small speakerset). One song is too short, but the entire mp3 player would last all night.
    I noticed that other mp3 players I've seen all have this feature.
    Is there any chance your development guys can (and will) make a firmware update?
    I noticed the 'end of service life', yeah But this player isn't even one year and a half old. I surely hope CL still cares about its customers after such a short period?

  • DVD Player no longer plays a VIDEO_TS folder.

    I used to be able to play a VIDEO_TS folder that I had ripped from a DVD into a hard disk. There is still "Open DVD Media" on the File menu, but when I select a VIDEO_TS folder it pops up an error window: "There was a problem opening the media. The media type is not supported." This always worked fine before Mountain Lion.
    Any ideas?

  • How can my ibook convert a VIDEO_TS folder or VIDEO_TS.IFO file to a .dv fi

    5/27/2009. how can my ibook convert a DVD's VIDEO_TS folder or VIDEO_TS.IFO file to a .dv file? That is, in order to do some editing on it? Will QuickTime pro do this? Will Roxio Toast do this? How??? Many thanks. C. Yopst, Chicago area.

    Use [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> (free) to convert the VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder to DV. You will also need the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> ($20) to be able to open and convert these files.
    This is of course assuming you have full rights to the footage or permission from the copyright holder to use the files.

  • How to burn valid video DVDs from VIDEO_TS folder

    Hello,
    Sorry if this topic is not in the proper location, but as the question is broad, I thought this was the best place to ask.
    I just want to burn files located in a VIDEO_TS folder, properly ripped on the hard drive, so as to make a valide Video DVD.
    I already attempted to use Burn, to no avail; it fails withing the first seconds, and outputs this line in the Console:
    19/06/09 15:24:16 /Applications/Burn.app/Contents/MacOS/Burn[596] Unexpected quarantine error: -43; ignoring
    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware, and using Nero on Ubuntu does provide a valid DVD.
    Thx for help

    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
    But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
    I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
    maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
    Cheers

  • Burn a dvd from a VIDEO_TS  folder

    Hi all, this is sily, i have done this before i know i have, i cannot do it now !
    I have a Folder named VIDEO_TS on my hard drive, it contains the contents of a video that i want to burn onto a DVD DL disc
    So far today i have wasted 4 disc's trying 4 different programs, including Burn and Terminal, but nothing works.
    the video plays fine on my Lap Top.
    I just dont understand why i am struggling. i have even tried a Windows program "imgburn" but still no good
    i dont mind buying an App for the job, but which one. I do not want to waste any more disc's, they aint cheap !.
    tim

    You need video authoring burn software; I use either Roxio Toast or iDVD:
    It is no longer included with the OS, but you can buy a retail version of iLife 11 (or 09 for that matter) from online retailers; it contains iDVD - in my humble opinion, the very best burn software because of its' customizable menus and themes. You can make your masterpiece. I don't know how it would work since you already have a Video_TS folder (which is what you can create with iDVD), so you can't go backwards. In this case, Roxio Toast is the best idea (but no customizable or snazzy menus). I do not have the Pro version - I tried the blu-ray plugin and tested it; could not see a difference on my HDTV, so I decided to burn as close to HD as I could (camera shoots video in 1920X1080p) and forego the expensive blu-ray disks.
    For future use, I'd recommend looking into iDVD as well:

  • From EncoreCS3 DVD-9 VIDEO_TS folder to replication house via DDP (mastering steps in GEAR etc.)

    Ok, the "solution" or steps I'm trying to provide here is not complete, just the way I see it now. We will do it this way as we want to deliver the DVD-9 dual layer DDP master to the replication house. The intention is that this should be corrected or fullfilled in order so that in the end we have a proper guide for everyone here, so people, read this, and share you info and if there is anything to be corrected or tips for making things work better.
    Here we go:
    Let's assume we have created successfully a VIDEO_TS folder from Encore CS3, meaning we have not set a layer break yet, but otherwise we have a working product.
    STEP 1. SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideobreakpoint.cfm
    Possible problems: non-seamless cells don't exist in the layer break window
    Possible solution: Use PGCEdit to change the cell type from seamless to non-seamless. This happens by opening the VIDEO_TS folder with PGCEdit and then double clicking on the VTS which holds the layer break point "window" (the VTS you chose in GEAR). Then you deselect the seamless joint checkbox in the cell (making it non-seamsless) you want to use as the layer break. Then you press OK and save the DVD. After that you create a new project in GEAR, do the layerbreak calculations based on the newly changed VIDEO_TS (with the non-seamless cell) and re-open the selected VTS_xx_0.IFO now in IFOEdit where you can now find the a proper non-seamless cell address for the layer break. Now you should be able to finish setting the non-seamless layer break in GEAR.
    Question: Do we have to and do we need to have the When saving, leave at least 32K of space between IFO and BUP" from the Options to be on when we do this in seamless joint change and save the dvd in PGCedit?
    STEP 2. CREATE DDP IMAGE FROM THE PROJECT, guide: http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideotoddp.cfm
    STEP 3. TEST THE DDP IMAGE BY BURNING IT ON DVD-R DVD-9
    First you need to restore the DDP Image you just created, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/restoreddpimage.cfm
    Burn the restored VIDEO_TS folder to DVD-9 with GEAR, guide
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/burndvdmovies.cfm
    STEP 4. SEE HOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE LAYER BREAK SET
    -If the product looks good and the layer break makes you satisfied, deliver the DDP image to replication factory for replication.
    .............Ok people, share your thoughts if something is wrong or if you got points to remember, answers to the questions given, suggest changes, or even better, write here a better version of this guide? The aim would be in the end having a guide which says all the required things in order to achieve a successfull DVD-9 project.

    Neil, once again, thanks a lot.
    >The seamless/non-seamless question is a bit of a non-issue unless you are using multiple camera angles, as this is all it refers to. Unless you have multiple angles, ignore this completely.
    In Multiple Angles (unsupported in Encore anyway) Seamless means there is no pause in playback when switching between angles. That is all.
    So, I really thought the seamless/non-seamless would have affect on the actually layer switching when playing the DVD, so that it might affect the slight layer switch pause time. It's just that the gear guide says that you need to find a non-seamless break in the IFOedit, and that's it, so I guess it is a bit missleading there in that GEAR guide. But, I'm glad you cleared this out that this only has to do something with the multiangle views.
    >The 32kb of space is a "must-tick" option, otherwise you stand a high chance of having the master rejected by the factory. Nero is a bugger for running these 2 files (Video_TS.IFO & Video_TS.BUP) into what the player will see as one file.
    Ok, so unless you use PGCEdit, this should be already ok in your project, right? But if you use PGCEdit for something like changing the seamless joint for multiple angles to your VIDEO_TS folder, this selection should be always on in PGCEdit.
    >One gotcha though - early versions of the GEAR Spreadsheet for calculating the layer break seem to give the VTS to use the start sector from as VTS_xx_0.VOB - this is wrong.
    Yeah, luckily this seems to be fixed now in the GEAR guide calculator.
    Another way I've found that is useful what comes to the selecting the layer break from the layer break "window" for your project is this:
    In order to know exactly where the cell starts in your video, you can use IMGBurn to preview the cells, so that you can choose the most suitable cell from the "layer break window". This means following the SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition guide to the point where you have found out the "layer break window". Then when going to the IFOedit you can see the cells that fall in to this window. Mark them down in your notepad and open the VIDEO_TS in IMGBurn, set the BUILD mode, choose to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and proceed the workflow ahead until you get to the set the layer break window. In this window you can preview the cells of the project, being able to see the videos of the cells. Go through the cells you marked in the IFOedit and find the cell that starts in the least disturbing place where the possible pause might occur during the moment when your dvd player changes the layer. When you've chose your cell, cancel the process and continue what you were doing in the GEAR layer break guide.
    If there are any other methods for this test purpose, or if there is something I'm missing, please share?
    Question about choosing the layer break cell: Is it the fact that no matter how you have bitcalculated your project size when building it in Encore, the layer break window that the GEAR spreadsheet provides you, doesn't take this into account at all? Meaning, if you choose the biggest cell number from the layer break window to be the layer break cell, it will go over the 4% overhead at the outer layer edge? If this is the case, you shouldn't use the last cells from the layer break window at all? And should we always try to choose the cell with the smallest number no matter what (in order to make the layer break as far from the layer's outer edge)?

  • Mux a Video_TS folder in Applescript... Any suggestions?

    Hi folks
    Trying to do something rather complicated and wondered if anyone had any ideas.
    I'm working on making an Applescript that will create multiple encodes of a video through Compressor. Got this working but then come the following to-do's:
    1. Create a Video_TS folder out of an M2V and AC3 file I've made.
    2. Burn the resultant Video_TS folder and a WMV onto a UDF DVD.
    Can anyone suggets how to do either of these within an Applescript. Don't mind mixing multiple Apps to achieve it (ffmpegx, Toast, etc.) and at the moment am just looking to create a DVD that plays 1 video on insertion into a DVD player.
    Any thoughts from anyone?
    Thanks

  • How to play DVD without menus?

    Hello, I'd like to burn a video clip that I cut in FCE onto a DVD without having to use iDVD and without using any menus. Basically, I want the video to play immediately (once I put it in a DVD player. Any ideas?

    Hi
    without having to use iDVD and without using any menus.
    A. No movie editor FC E or P - or - iMovie can deliver what's needed to make a DVD
    without any program preparing the needed code - sort of .mpeg2
    B. DVDs without menu can be done in several ways with eg
    • Roxio Toast™ - that can do this without any faking what so ever
    • iDVD - but You have to fake part of it
    iDVD - my list on this
    from. Klaus1 in Somerset, UK
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

    Most certainly more will fill in - this list is a bit old.

  • How to play music through my external hard drive through iTunes on my mac?

    I recently purchased a external hard drive for my mac for my movies and music, as my disc was almost full.
    I have spent HOURS searching how to play music through my itunes without transferring them onto the mac.
    BUT everytime I click media destination folder in prefrences and advance, the whole music library in my external hard drive folder is  greyed out, and when i click it nothing happens.
    PLEASE someone help...

    First, a brand new drive is likely formatted for use with Windows.  You need to reformat it for use with Mac.
    Pondini: Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
    Second, you are better off moving the whole iTunes library to the external drive, not just the media.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

  • Burning playable DVD from VIDEO_TS Folder

    A friend of mine had a DVD Demo Reel that was damaged and wouldn't play, so i was able to rip the files (VIDEO_TS) folder onto my hard drive from the DVD using MacTheRipper.
    Is there a program (preferably free) that i can burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD so it will be playable in a DVD Player? I used to use Discribe to do it (came free with my ext burner) but i can't get that program to work on my new MacBookPro.
    ANY help is greatly appreciated!
