Video_ts + iDVD

I have a video_ts folder where i put some videos that i would put in iDVD to create a new DVD whit them, could it be possible?
The video_ts folder was created by my camera, with an ugly menu.
Thanks

iDVD itself creates a VIDEO_TS foloder as part of the burning (or saving to disk image) process. iDVD itself will not accept using a VIDEO_TS folder as a source of a video to incorporate in to a project.
However, thanks to a tip I originally saw on a website (MacOSXHints, I think) there is a workaround that I have used successfully several times.
1. You need a small (smaller the better) video file that iDVD accepts as a valid source file (iDVD 08 unlike previous versions will now accept any format supported by QuickTime), if your iDVD menu is going to have choices for more than one video (or in your case VIDEO_TS) then you will need to duplicate it to make additional copies.
2. Build your menu in iDVD and add these small files where you actually want your VIDEO_TS to play.
3. Save the result as a disk image
4. Mount the disk image and copy to a folder on your hard disk, this will contain a VIDEO_TS created by iDVD
5. If you open this VIDEO_TS folder you will see files like the following
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS010.BUP
VTS010.IFO
VTS010.VOB
VTS011.VOB
VTS020.BUP
VTS020.IFO
VTS021.VOB
The VTS_01 files correspond to the first video defined in your iDVD menu, and the VTS_02 the second (and so on).
6. You can take the VIDEO_TS from your camera, renumber its VTS_01 to match the number needed, and then replace the iDVD files with the ones from your own VIDEO_TS folder.
7. You can then test this in DVD Player by opening the VIDEO_TS folder your have built.
Note: You need to copy the full set of VTS_01 (BUP, IFO, VOB) files.
Note: IFO files are the indexes for the DVD, BUP files are backup copies of this and will normally be identical to the matching IFO file. The VIDEO_TS.IFO file is the index (and menu) to the entire DVD (as built by iDVD), and the VTS010.IFO is the index for the first video, and VTS020.IFO the second and so on. A VOB file is the actual video but is limited to a maximum of 1000MB, if your video is too long to fit one VOB then it is split in to VTS011.VOB and VTS012.VOB etc. (VTS010.VOB is typically the animated menu).

Generating video_TS folder ends with error idvd 7.0.1

idvd 7.0.1 ends with error generating video_TS folder:

› Several things to this - but I think You've guessed it all readdy
searching for answers and ways some circumstances become clear
• DVD - is as standard SD-Video - so feeding it HD usually doesn't result in anything better (often worse) result
• 13-19Gb - is less than I set for minimum (25Gb) and that's when using SD-Video - I guess that HD material needs 4-5 times more to be degraded to SD quality and Single Layer - DVDs.
That was not known at me up to now… I prefer prof encoding to double layer, often the resulting size of the DVD is to fit to a single layer.
• Also depending on encoding quality used - I prefere Pro-Quality encoding.
I thaught to reduce the frame size before composing the DVD with QT player 7 to SD size (a result of trial and error);
it is not always easy to me to decise about quality along of dis-ability, though my customers (family)…
Thank you Bengt, your help is important!

Substitute VOBs on VIDEO_TS of iDVD

Once I read about a way to use VOBs directly in iDVD created folders.
It was about authoring some VOBs (that I take from a dvd recorder) in ffmpegx and replacing the ones created by iDVD.
It worked partially..I get the video but not the menus (it says it is now allowed to get to the menus).
If I just replace the VOBs but not the IFOs, I get the menus but no sound.
Anyone has a good idea about how to use the IDVD menus with outside VOBs?

I would assume that you'll need to figure out a way to match file names (and perhaps locations on the disk) if you're wanting iDVD menus to work with other content. Here are a couple of alternate ideas to check into that use Roxio Toast:
- import directly from your recorder - here's what they say: "You can also access discs from set-top DVD recorders or DVD camcorders. Toast includes special support for these discs,
which normally are not usable in the Mac OS. Insert these discs in
your recorder while Toast is running, and then import video from
them with the Media Browser."
- if your recorder creates Video_TS folders, here's a Toast option:
"You can create a DVD from an existing DVD-Video VIDEO_TS folder and
play it on a set-top DVD player or in a Macintosh or Windows computer
with a DVD player.
Some VIDEO_TS folders may be too large to fit on a standard recordable
4.7 GB DVD. Toast can compress this video to fit on a standard DVD, or if
your recorder supports dual-layer recordable DVDs, you can create a dual-
layer DVD-Video from this folder."
I don't have any connection to Toast other than being a satisfied customer.

Can iDVD create disc images from VIDEO_TS folder, and burn them?

That first question is pretty self-explanatory.
Background is this: I've downloaded some video folders/files from forum/torrent trading websites. When finished, I have a VIDEO_TS folder, often an EXTRAS_TS folder as well. A while back, I downloaded the app DVD IMAGER to create a disc image. Yesterday that stopped working effectively, so maybe I need to re-download, but I was wondering if there's just a better way? I also downloaded the app called BURN, but can't see yet how that creates disc images.
Once I create that disc image, I need to burn it, and I was using Disk Utility for that. I'm really looking for some help and advice on the best way to perform these processes.
Thank you, and let me know if I need to post in another forum.

Additionally, do you have experience w/ DVD Imager?
Nope. Like I said, Roxio's Toast Titanium is the top application (and is probably the one that most experienced people use).

Problems burning DVD from iDVD disc image

I'm burning a disc image onto a DVD using Toast and can't seem to get the disc to automatically start or be read by either my home DVD player or my Powerbook G4 (through DVD player). I'm a little unclear if I burn the .img folder onto the DVD, the mounted drive containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files, or the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS files themselves. I've tried all of these and none have worked, which made me think that it was something wrong with my DVDproj file from whence the disc image was made.
Do I have to have something in the box labeled "Drag content here to automatically play when disc is inserted" in teh MapView? I'd prefer it to just bring up the DVD menu.
Thanks!

Pre edit:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

After upgrading to idvd 7.0.2 old project no longer can be built

It is very annoying, because idvd 6.0.4 perfectly did the job, idvd 7.0.0 in the same project rendered green slides instead of transitions in slideshows and idvd 7.0.2 after 9 hours of work returns multiplexing error. I tried solutions, that were gived to similar problem in other topics, such as removing idvd's preferences and cahe files, but it didn't help. I don't have any problems, shown in dvd map, I import movies as .dv files, not from iMovie, I tried using different compression settings (High Quality, Best Performance, Prof. Quality), but nothing helped. The most funny thing is that, when I removed all movies, and left slideshows only, the project still returned the error. Also what I noticed, is that during the final stage of asset parsing, idvd project file actually increased in size to somewhat 3.64 Gb, almost equal to what was shown in disk meter in project info.
Any sugests? I would be very thankful to any kind of help, because the issue really took very long time with no result.

Dear SDMacuser,thanks for the information. But I have been using idvd since 2005. And have never had any kind of problems - neither with correct slideshows rendering nor with burning. However with idvd 7.0.2 have I encountered the new problem during attempt to create video_ts folder and disc image -There was a problem during multiplexing/burning. Removing perian component also hasn't helped. What could I try doing next?

Does iDVD work with Maverick? This is the first time I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything.

I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick, first time I tried after upgrading to Maverick a few weeks ago. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything. Does anyone else have the same problem?

I did not have a DVD handy to burn but I have just created a small 2 minute video and created a Disk Image and also a VIDEO_TS folder, the encoding worked correctly, so it works with some items.
You may get a better responce in the iDVD forum.

How do I archive iDVD project? Best/Smallest size?

Hi,
I need to know the best method to save a movie project that was made in imovie, then burned to DVD using iDVD. I want to save a copy of the finished product for archival purposes on an external drive. I want to be able to pull up this archive and be able to burn another copy of it to DVD or just be able to view the archived movie on my powerbook (directly from the external. I want it to be saved in the smallest size. I am ruling out saving the imovie project, as that is usually up to 12 or 14gb. I tried to save the iDVD project that was burned to a disc, but I wasn't able to view that again, or burn it to another dvd disc? Would it make sense for me to edit the project like always in imovie, open iDVD, and save it as a disc image first, and then burn it to DVD-R whenever I need a copy? And if I do this, is the disc image file going to be able to be viewed on the powerbook, without using the burned DVD? Also, I read on here that the iDVD doesn't have an option to burn to disc image? I know Toast Titanium does. I have that also. But, can I edit the movie in imovie, and then just open Toast Titanium and use it to make a disc image? And then at a later date, call up the disc image with Toast and just use Toast to burn a DVD? Also, I should note that I will need to burn 2 imovie projects to the DVD (they are 1 hr long t.v. episodes each) I need to put 2 episodes on each DVD. I know how to burn them from imovie directly to iDVD, but then I am back to the whole question of archiving them in something other than imovie projects or iDVD projects?????????
Thanks to anyone who can advise
-Tom

Oh my, where to begin.
If you think you will ever want to change your saved iDVD project (change the menu, add more videos) then keep the Project file. That is what iDVD can read. After you've burned a DVD (or made a disc image) with iDVD there still is an encoded MPEG inside the Project file. So you don't need to save the iMovie, just the iDVD project file (or project folder if your version has more than just a file).
A disc image is the same thing as having the video DVD written to your hard drive. iDVD doesn't open a DVD; nor will it open a disc image. When you mount a disc image (double-click on it) there will be a new icon on your desktop. If you open DVD player, it will play the movie from the mounted disc image the same as if it was playing a DVD disc. You may need to choose Open VIDEO_TS in the DVD player File menu and select the VIDEO_TS folder in the mounted image in order to play the video. If nothing appears on the screen, press the space bar to start playback.
Disc images are burned in Toast using the Image File option in the Copy window. You can burn one disc image to one DVD.
What I recommend is that you add your multiple movies to your one iDVD project before saving a disc image or burning a DVD. iDVD 4 can handle up to 2 hours of video per DVD, although I think it is best to keep at near 90 minutes or less for best quality.
As for saving a copy for future use: you need to save the iDVD project itself if you want to re-use it in iDVD. If not, you can save a disc image which is the same as burning another DVD except it is on the hard drive. By the way, Toast can make a disc image from your burned DVD. Insert the DVD, select it in the Toast Copy window and choose "Save as Disc Image" from the Toast File menu.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

Hi
No Menu DVD
from. Mishmunken
How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) 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 drop-zone (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". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
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.

Having problems burning/creating disc image in iDVD 6

I am currently experience new problems trying to burn or create a disc image in iDVD 6. I have successfully burned iDVD projects in the past with the same computer/iDVD 6. The iDVD project looks like it is processing normally, even creates a labled disc image- but when you click on it, it reads "My Great DVD", and the video and audio files are also unreadable or absent- the error message for the VIDEO_TS.VOB file I pulled up read, "There is no default application specified to open the document "VIDEO_TS.VOB".
My older son just got Toast 7 Titanium for me, so I have that resource. I also just bought extra memory to bring me up to 1.25 GB, and an external hard drive with 320 GB. I have a younger son and a friend who will need me to make a dance audition DVD for a CA college dance department that must be in So Cal by 1-19-07, so you can imagine I'm getting a bit nervous about this. I have verified permissions, reinstalled iDVD from the original, and re-done the original iMovie/iDVD project that first caused the problems- a 12.8 GB project (but have not re-done things since I got more memory on my computer). I don't know how big the audition DVD's will be, but estimate they won't be that big (hopefully), but will consist of many short clips/chapter headings. I know just enough about computers to know what I don't know, so would really, really appreciate some basic help!

My Great DVD", and the video and audio files are also unreadable or absent- the error message for the VIDEO_TS.VOB file I pulled up read, "There is no default application specified to open the document "VIDEO_TS.VOB".
I don't know what you expect. You're looking for a problem where there isn't one.
The AUDIO_TS folder SHOULD be empty and (unless you've installed spercial software) you WON'T have any application to open the VIDEO_TS.VOB.
If you want to play the disk image, open Apple's DVD player application and then use it to open the VIDEO_TS folder.

New Photos update will not allow me to insert pictures in to iDVD? Please help

When I open iDVD and look for photos it does not show anything even though I have photos in the new Photos program as well as the old version of iPhoto? Please help!!! I'm a photographer and videographer and am making a DVD of the video and photos and can't upload any of my photos to the DVD before burning.

Sorry - been having the same problem. Please may I ask to clarify ... In order to have the new "photos" app photos appear in my iDVD project, I have to export those photos (thousands of photos) to ANOTHER folder on my hard drive??? Is there not a way to tell iDVD to "see" / "recognize" / "point to" the app photos? That doesn't seem best as I will be duplicating thousands of photos and videos. There has got to be a away for one program to "see" the other.
Second - the response about saving an iDVD project as "save as disk image" I'm not sure I'm doing correctly. I've done it several times and all I get is an icon on my desk top that looks like an external HD. When I click on it, a folder opens w/ "AUDIO_TS" and "VIDEO_TS". What am I to do then? How do I get it to "launch in DVD"? How do I burn to a disk w/ disk utility?
I started this process because after creating a project and burning it to disk, the voice on my video was not in sync w/ the video. It worked fine IN iDVD. Burn it to a disk and when played on my DVD player, totally out of sync and the photos are fuzzy. It plays fine on my laptop, but not on my dvd player. So I kept seeing this solution and I am lost. I thought I was doing it correctly - took a good 4 and half hours to create the "save as disk image", but once done, all I seem to get is a folder w/ 2 additional folders. Not sure what to do next.
Please help.

My iDVD always says "it was an error during the movie encording" and it suddenly stops burning idk what to do!

Ok so i'm trying to burn a short 10-min-long film to a DVD via iDVD.... i've worked with it before and never had any trouble.
But i havent used it for 3 years now probably, and as i made the DVD menu and sub-menus for this project i worked normally
as i always did, it was easy and everything worked just fine.
The only difference this time is when i click "burn" it starts processing the menus but when it's done, instead of going to the next step which is
processing the slideshows, it automatically stops the burning and it says "there was an error during movie encording" idk why it always comes out,
what i'm doing wrongor if it just doesnt work anymore :S it also opens a new mini window that says "you have insterted a blank DVD.
Choose an action: (open finder) (open iDVD) (open iTunes) etc" so this tells me it's reading it...
i've picked all the options and it still doesnt work with any of those at this same point. I've also tried changing the preferences, the screen mode,
the video quality, EVERYTHING! nothing works! DX
anyone knows how to fix this?
it'd be truely appreciated!!!
Yours Truely, DANIELLA.

So today, I deleted that original file (this gave me the ~18.5 GB free) off my internal HD and tried to burn the project.
So the DV file iMovie is using is on the external again? If so I assume iDVD knows that...

You could go to the iDVD 5 group and search the group for that error code. There was plenty of those there. Not much here.

IDVD changes encoding quality in the middle of burning a DVD. This causes the DVD to run out of room for longer projects. This worked fine for the past two years, and in the past few weeks it started having this problem.

Here are details on the problem: I'm running iDVD 7.1.2 on an iMac that uses OS 10.6.8. After about two years of using iDVD to burn both single- and dual-layer disks, I find I can no longer burn dual-layer disks. When I put in a dual-layer disk and try to burn a project, the project size keeps increasing. For instance, I recently tried to burn a project that was just over 4GB and, when I stopped the project part-way through, the project size read as 6.89GB. If I don't stop the project in time, the blue bar that indicates burning status reaches the end (so that all of it is blue) before the time listed has elapsed and the disk ejects but cannot be recognized by the computer or our dvd player. If I then go to the project menu and switch the encoding from Professional Quality to Best Performance and back again, the program "remembers" the actual file size - but, if I try to burn the project again, I have the increasing same problem. If I let the project go until the disk ejects, the project menu will then read some total in the red (i.e., above the size that a dl disk will burn, even though the actual file size is below the limit). I believe (perhaps 90% sure) this began after I tried to encode a movie with subtitles; instead of burning properly, this movie created a data disk with at least one folder that said something about VIDEO_TS, if I recall correctly.

To be a true video DVD the disk must be in the UDF format (Universal Disk Format) and must have a AUDIO_TS folder (empty) and VIDEO_TS folder (where all the elements of the DVD are located).
The content on a DVD is MPG-2 encoded and it is quite possible for the encoded size of your content to exceed the estimated project size - especially if you use lots of transitions and content encoded with CODECS more recent than mpg-2 (which is quite old at this point).
The safest thing to do is to make your 'burn' to a disk image file - then you know everything went fine before you commit to burning a disk, I know the instructions warn about creating a disk image file for dual-layer projects, but I've never had any problems and don't recall hearing anyone here who had problems.

IDVD create disk image larger than DVD-R capacity

Here's the background:
- I made an iMovie 6 in 16:9 NTSC that is 1:32:00:06 long. I put that into iDVD 6, use the 5.0 Theme called "Wedding White", no slideshow, just a few photos and one 128k audio AAC file for menu music. Motion menu right now is about 5min45sec, but I can change that no problem.
- In iDVD 6's "Project info", left hand column shows "NTSC", "Widescreen (16:9)", "Best Quality", "Single-Layer (SL) - 4.2GB"; all correct.
Right hand column - Project Duration is 97:47min, Motion Menus is 5:46 of 7:30, Tracks 1 of 99, Menus 3 of 99; all green.
"DVD Capacity" was shown as ~3.3GB before the burning.
Here's the problem:
- When I first burned directly onto a single-layer DVD-R, an error will come on during burning or multiplexing near the end. Disc will eject, and the disc IS PLAYABLE on all DVD players. Only problem is that the movie will end (or says "Disc scratched or dirty", then crashes DVD Player on my Mac) at around 1:30:50; about 1min 11sec short. iDVD will also hang, and need to be forced quit.
- If I check that finished DVD-R with Disk Utility, it'll show:
--Capacity 4.4GB (4,706,074,624)
--Used 4.4GB (4,739,385,344)
- Same results with two decent media, a Sony 16x and a Ritex G05 8x.
- After reading a lot of posts in this discussion board, I tried two things:
1. Clean up my primary HD, which was down to <10GB free. I realized that I need double the disk space to properly burn. Now, it's at around 30GB free.
2. Instead of direct burn, I saved it as Disc Image. Results:
-- Video_TS file totally fine when played with DVD Player.
-- Disc Utility shows: Capacity 4,739,923,968 Bytes, Used 4,739,385,344 Bytes
But when I tried to burn that image onto a disc in Disk Utility, it says the media doesn't have enough room.
3. I went back to iDVD 6's "Project Info", and the "DVD Capacity" bar is now filled, yellow and says "4.2GB of 4.2GB".
[I actually tried earlier with a slightly different version with longer motion menus, and a slightly longer movie. And the DVD it tried to burn is even larger, at 4,847,159,296 Bytes. Similar results, but that DVD will end about 4 minutes short. But I didn't write down all the iDVD 6 details that time.]
SOOOOOO....
It seems to me that iDVD 6 is miscalculating its rendering or compression ratio, and is creating a final disc image larger than the capacity of a single-layer DVD-R, even though all parameters are set and displayed correctly.
For me, I'll cut down on the motion menu duration to see if that will help, as I'm right now JUST BARELY over the capacity.
Because of the early audio problem with iMovie/iDVD 6, this is the my first "finished" iDVD 6 product. Before, I have had no problem with movies that are close to the 120-minute limit, though this is the first time I use a 5.0 Theme with motion menus.
So, any ideas, any comments? Please post. Also, what else should I do besides posting here to let Apple and other users know of this problem? Thanks!

An update:
I cut down the loop duration of the motion menus, from 5:46 to 2:50. The resulting disc image is down to 4.25GB (4,563,716,096 bytes) and will fit onto a single-layer DVD-R.
So, I finally made my first successful DVD using iDVD 6. Still don't know why this has been such an adventure compared to earlier iLife versions.
