Import DVD Video_TS folder contents?

G'day,
I'm a film student at Griffith Uni, AU... Over 2006 I produced a few short films. The only copies I have of them are burnt onto DVDs using DVD Studio Pro.
What I wish to now do is consolidate them onto a single disc. The problem I have is that Final Cut doesn't seem to import the audio track.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there another way/program that can do what I am trying?
Thanks
Travis

DSP can't import mpg files which is with embedded data (mv2 +wav,mpa or whatever) so use StreamClip to demux. there is no conversion, or reencoding, so wait a few seconds and from your original movie mpg you'll have m2v + audio file... then import to DSP... thats all.
and use only 1 audio standart in all project. (you'll be mo nearly to DVD standart) for ex. if menu has ac3 audio - then movie must have ac3 audio.
have a nice day. and happy new year

In the DVD VIDEO_TS folder can I edit a link for redirect?

I trashed my DVD studio files and movie clips and don't want to have to recapture and edit in final cut pro because one of the links on the DVD isnt directed to the right place.
Is there a way that i can do that in some type of editor with the files DVDSP created in the VIDEO_TS folder?
OR, is there a utility that will allow me to recover the files i trashed?
Thanks

www.mydvdedit.com & www.dvdafteredit.com are two Mac tools that let you edit Video_TS folders (makee sure to make copies before working on them.) mydvdedit is shareware while dvdafteredit if full commercial software.
There are also ways of capturing assets off the DVD/conversion utlilities. MpegStream Clip and HandBrake are two items which work on unencrypted DVDs

Video_TS folder wrecks it

Learning DVD studio pro, today I used Compressor to go straight to DVD pro, but it stops with Video_TS folder which I must remove. I've unsuccessfully been stopped at least a dozen times until I gave up with this TS folder. I know what the folder is but why hasn't Compressor etc, resolved this before going to DVDpro. I can burn a DVD from Compressor fine, but DVDpro doesn't want to help.

You use the running time based DVD presets in Compressor to make a MPEG2 video file and an AC3 audio file for DVD SP. It is not possible to import a VIDEO_TS folder directly into DVD Studio Pro.

Create Dual Layer Video_TS folder?

I don't have a Superdrive on this MacBook but I do on my other PC. I want to create a Dual Layer DVD Video_TS folder to transfer over to my PC and burn. The option is greyed out in the project properties window to select dual layer disc. I want to enable it somehow so I can see if my project will fit the Dual Layer disc limit.
Any ideas?

If you can create a DL disk image you can convert it over to an iso dimage either on the Mac or on the PC. There are a number of sites discussing it:
macosxhints.com - Convert .dmg files to .iso files for burning ...
convert iso dmg - Mac Support
It all depends on whether you can create the disk image of the DL project. I don't know if you can.

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 !.

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:

(you can find it on ebay as well)

Can't Import or Burn a disk from a Video_TS folder

I have a series of files in a Video_TS folder that play fine in DVD player (with all menus etc) but I'm unable to burn a disk with them. When I try to import them into DVD studio I get an unreadable format error. When I examinde them in the finder I see that they have a "unix executable file association".
Any idea how I can make this into a burnable DVD image?

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

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?

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!

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)?

Video_TS folder error! can't get a quality burn for my DVD! please Help

I am currently working on a project in DVDSP 3. i have had problems with the computer freezing while trying to burn my DVD. If the computer didnt freeze while burning the Log (while going through the process) would bring up 2 error signs. One was: "The Video_TS folder will not be included in the final disc." And directly after that it would say: "the VOB_DATA.LAY file will not be included in the final disc. The burn was successful but when i viewed it the quality of the image was fuzzy and not up to par with previous burns.
I found out i had a bad hard-drive. So i replaced it. re-formatted my hard-drive and re-installed all my applications (i.e FCP, DVDSP). I re-compressed all my movies and re-created the entire DVD menu. But the problem still persists!
Please HELP!

When i am about to burn my project should i choose simply "burn" or "build/format" ?
Either one will create a folder on your harddrive with the TS Folders AND burn.
These warnings signify nothing. They're just to inform you that the certain files used by DVDSP to "contact" your initial build folder won't be included in your TS folders.
I can't figure out why Apple states these warnings - they do nothing but scare people

I need import dvd content to compressor or FCP to re encode for web

I need import dvd content to compressor or FCP to re encode for web
Is there a short cut?
When I tried, only the video went as the audio seems to be embedded. How can I encode a DVD to and Mpeg4 file with the audio?
Thank you all in advance.

Google MPEG Streamclip. It's free and works! This questions gets asked a lot. Take advantage of search when you can.
