Video_TS

I'm wondering if I can play my home videos (about 80 hours in video TS format) with Apple TV 2. I can play it fine with the WD TV Media Live Hub, but I don't like the interface for photos and music. I'd rather use iTunes and iPhoto. However, being able to view my home movies is a deal breaker for me. Does anyone know if ATV can do this? If so, I'll be taking back the WD and getting an ATV.
Thanks.

I like having all my family video (26 years worth!) right at the touch of a button, and I don't relish the thought of re-coding 80 - 90 hours worth of video in another format.
You sound like the perfect candidate for a Mac Mini with or without an external DAS/NAS for expansion. Front Row can be play VIDEO_TS folder content, as well as, compatible third-party compression formats or iTunes managed content to your TV/HDTV/Projector via the video interface. In fact, you can even stream iTunes managed multimedia content, iPhoto and/or Aperture content wirelessly from a "shared" main platform, including third-party compression formats that are QT component compatible with your host system. Not something I'm particularly interested in myself but something that might appeal to multiple compression format users who want to work within an iTunes-like user interface.

Buring DVD-R after creating Video_TS file

I built a DVD in DVD Studio Pro and the log did not report any errors. I then tried to burn a 4.7 GB DVD-R with the VIDEO_TS file but soon into the burning process I keep gettig the same error code "result code=18771" and the message reads "Could not record the disc b/c there is a problem with source material." Does anyone know what this means and how I can correct this issue? My file size is 2.3 GB so it should fit on the 4.7 GB DVD-R. Any tips?

Your project is already built on your hard drive. It might be a good idea to delete the build and do it again, but you can also select to format the current build. Select format from DVDSP and as your source locate your Video_TS folder. And as your destination choose hard drive as the output device. This will create a single file with the extension .img. You then use Disc Utility to burn the DVD.
Here is some more info on how to burn DVD's with disc utiltiy.

Need to import VIDEO_TS into iMovie and I cant do it.

I have several discs with clips on them that I need to import into iMovie to edit all together, I can not seem to do it. On one disc for example is a Video_ts folder and in the file are .bup .ifo .vob I dont know if these are the clips, if so how do I get iMovie to recongnize them? Please Help!

This sounds like videos that are actually DVD videos.
It's possible that they were copied from a DVD onto another disk, but the layout you describe is a DVD format.
You need a program that can convert these into QuickTime format.
I have used a program called DVDxDV to convert DVD videos that I made back into QuickTime format.
This program, will automatically extract the audio and video into clips that are sized and formatted for importing into iMovie.
iMovie not only has a file size limit, but also time duration (length) that each file must be under.
So, it needs to be the right file format, right length of time (shorted than 8 minutes), and less than 2 GB in size.
This program automatically does all that for you. If the video segment is longer than the requirements, then it creates multiple files that you can drag and drop into iMovie.
It is available in a trial version for you to experiment with.
Once you find that it does what you want, they offer a variety of packages that you can purchase. I went with the $25 level, and that worked fine for me.

Front row in Lion 10.7 issue (-70012) and video_ts not playing issue -solved

Hi all,
thought I just post my solution to the front row issues in 10.7. I looked for a solution for days, and when I found it, I thought it would make other peoples live easier if I combine everything in one post.
I actually had a couple of issues:
PROBLEM:
first front row stopped playing VIDEO_TS files in 10.6.
the second issue occurred when I thought upgrading to 10.7 would solve the issue; Front row still couldn't play the VIDEO_TS, because FRONT ROW was gone...
SYMPTOMS:
both issues always showed the same symptoms:
when a dvd-back folder was selected, front row would show a black screen, and then, caused by my frantic pushing the ESC button, front row would give me the dvd player not valid -70012 error.
CAUSE:
so what happened? I chose to buy my MBP 17" with the smallest HDD (yep sorry, was cheap-s-ing). Then later that year, I decided to buy the HDD caddy and switch my internal superdrive for a SSD. I ended up placing the original HDD in the hdd caddy, which I then put in the Superdrive's slot, and I placed the SSD in the slot where the original HDD was residing first. I now had a MBP 17" late 2011, with vertex3 SSD. I forgot, I also put in 16 GB, replacing the 8 GB.
So, when I back-upped all my favorite DVDs as VIDEO_TS files, (no I did not download dvds through usenet), grabbed the popcorn, and started Front Row, the disappointment began. No VIDEO_TS file would play, always the same -70012 error message. So after a lot of internet research I stumbled upon a guy who said: yeah, you have to upgrade to 10.7. After the upgrade my FRONT ROW was gone.
SOLUTIONS:
In 10.6:
As Apple's DVD player is always looking for the internal dvd player as a prerequisite to start, Front Row, which uses Apple's DVD player as video player, will throw up the -70012 error. 'Cause it finds the HDD in the HDD Caddy instead of the SuperDrive. So in 10.6 (and in 10.7 also) you can use the following solution:
(I got this solution partial from http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20070591-263.html)
1: modify the DVDPlayback framework that the DVD Player uses so that it will recognize external drive as a valid DVD playback device. (The HDD Caddy came with an external casing for the SuperDrive)
2: download a hex editor (I used Hexedit 220 from http://hexedit.sourceforge.net/ )
3: Go to the folder /System/Library/Frameworks/ and back up the file "DVDPlayback.framework."
4: Open Hexedit_220 and use it to open the following file:/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback.
5: Using the editor's find&replace through COMMAND-F, replace "Internal" with the text "External" and save the file. Note that Hexedit also saves a backup automatically.
6: Close the file once saved, and then run a permissions fix on the boot drive using Disk Utility. Then restart the system and you should now be able to play DVDs off the external drive using DVD Player. That is, If you use an external dvd player (which I don't use).
7: I inserted a very small USB stick in the MBP with no data on it, and Front Row and Apple DVD Player accepted this. I could now play my backupped DVDs.
ofcourse, I still wanted to upgrade to 10.7, so here's the solution to 10.7
10.7:
upgrading was a simple click with the mouse, worked like a charm, Office still worked, and some minor updates installed through software.
Front Row however, gone...
I used the steps outlined in http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/21/front-row-for-mac-os-x-lion/ to get Front Row back:
- first get the package from Madhatter: Download the free package installer by MacHatter
- install, or customize the install
- all done.
Then I used the steps from step 3 through 7 outlined above in solution 10.6.
Catch:
So I did not find a solution to fooling the DVD Player / Front Row with the USB stick. So everytime I watch VIDEO_TS in Front Row the USB stick must be inserted. But, the good news, I can still use my remote control for something.
Hope I helped some guys out there with this solution.
Regards,
Johnno

The issue has previously hit Apple TV owners. I think people came to the conclusion that it was a HDMI handshake problem. Basically the process where the device and TV greet each other, make up some rules about communicationg and what their secret key is and so on.
I haven't tried this yet, but my local service center says that basically I can do one of two things:
- Downgrade to 10.7 and then download the 10.7.1 update from Apples website. To do this without having a Mac OS X Lion disc, you can hold down CMD + R when the computer boots to be able to access the recovery partition on newer Macs that come without the OS disc.
or..
- Put something in between the computer and TV. For example, if you're using an amplifier as a part of your home theather set up, this will probably work. The service guy said he has his Mini connected to the amplifier, which in turn is connected to speakers and a projector. The inverted colors still appear, but only once per night (i.e. after the first problem is reset by resetting the link then it's fine).
For now, I'll do my little dance of changing the source on the TV from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and then back again to reset the link... But, I'll probably try downgrading in a few days.

The finder can't complete the operation because some data in "VIDEO_TS.BUP "can't be read or written (error code-36)

the finder can't complete the operation because some data in "VIDEO_TS.BUP "can't be read or written (error code-36)

I faced the same problem and i fixed it by going to applications - utility - disk utility and fixing the errors.

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?

DVD's with no VIDEO_TS folders- How do I back them up?

Recently a few friends have been sending me disks made on stand alone DVD recorders. The DVD's usually have the name "DVDVIDEORECORDER". Surprisingly, these DVD's have no VIDEO_TS folders, though they play fine in a DVD player or my Mac. I went searching for invisible VIDEO_TS folders and couldn't find them either. My problem is that I want to make copies of them for friends. Without a VIDEO_TS folder, I can't seem to do that. The closest that I can get to it is to use "Handbrake" and create an mp4 from the DVD and then encode that mp4 back into a DVD. Have other people seen these DVD's? I seen many more than a few and from many different sources. Where are the video files kept on them? Can they be backed up? One of my DVD's is scratched and I want to duplicate it before it becomes unusable. Any idea how I can do that without a VIDEO_TS folder?

Here is some more information about the DVD's. They seem to be UDF- Universal Disk Format, whatever that means.
Name : DVDVIDEORECORDER
Type : Volume
Disk Identifier : disk11
Mount Point : /Volumes/DVDVIDEORECORDER
File System : Universal Disk Format (UDF)
Device Tree : /PCI0@0/PATA@1F,1/PRID@0/@0:0
Writable : No
Capacity : 4.1 GB (4,435,968,000 Bytes)
Used : 4.1 GB (4,435,417,088 Bytes)
Number of Files : 4,292,801,577

Reading of VIDEO_TS files in MacOSx??

Hi, is there any program out there for mac which allows the viewing of videos for VIDEO_TS folder's files (Extracted directly from DVD movies)....
I am hoping not to do any conversion to other format at all.
I understand that windows windows media player have no problem doing that...but I had failed doing this in a MacOS...even after installing Flip4Mac to Quicktime.
Any advice?

vlc player should do the trick http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Hmmmh: it looks like you have copied the DVD directly, you should also have an "AUDIO_"(...something) file next to your "VIDEO_TS" - but if the DVD was copy protected, no player will play it.

Can DVDSP create a CSS enabled Video_TS ready for replication?

Can I create a copy-protected DVD with a Video_TS folder ready for replication?
From what I understand, copy-protected DVD's for replication can only be created through the DDP file process. That means that the replicator must apply a "mastering process" to the files before a glass master is created.
I am being told my a replicator that in the past, they have received discs from clients that are copy protected and ready for replication. Is this possible? Can I burn these type of discs with DVD Studio Pro and a built in burner?
Ed

Here is a post from another site that provides more details--basically the answer to my question is no.
Can I create a copy-protected DVD with a Video_TS folder ready for replication?
Nope. All CSS encrypted DVD's must be in DDP or CMF format on either hard drive, DLT, or DVD-R (provided as DVD-ROM, not Video_TS).
The "mastering process" is us (replicators) adding the actual CSS keys to the final image while it is premastering. DVD Studio Pro "flags" the master with CSS. The keys are added in the premastering stage at the replicator before glass is made (unless you use Scenarist, you can add the keys upon output, which doesn't make it playable but the Eclipse software will see the keys are present and we don't have to add them).
I am being told by my replicator that in the past, they have received discs from clients that are copy protected and ready for replication. Is this possible? Can I burn these type of discs with DVD Studio Pro and a built in burner?
I would think that this would be the DDP image with the CSS keys included. I dont believe there is any way to output a playable DVD that has CSS to a DVD-R on any authoring system. Even if there was you cannot premaster a DVD-Video with CSS at any replication facility.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Burning VIDEO_TS to DVD

Hello all,
I have a VIDEO_TS folder from a DVD. Legal, of course...well, anyway, I'd like to burn it to a new blank DVD to make a disc compatible with any DVD player, not just a Mac/Windows computer.
I actually tried it with Disco (www.discoapp.com) which claims to be able to make a
DVD out of any VIDEO_TS folder. It can, but it isn't 100% compatible.
Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,
~D

Sorry it took me so long to reply.
Hmm. Thanks, a brody. I would rather not spend $100 for Toast, but thanks all the same.
I will try DVD Imager. Thanks so much to both of you!

Convert video_ts and audio_ts to iso

Hi. I used Finder and drag-and-drop to copy a DVD movie to my hard drive. To do this, I created a new folder with the name of the movie. I then dragged-and-dropped the video_ts and audio_ts files from the DVD to the folder. The result is that the movie folder has two sub-folders, one for video_ts and one for audio_ts. Inside the sub-folders are all the bup, ifo and vob files. I can point Apple DVD Player or VLC media player to the movie folder, and both play the movie just fine.
I then used Disk Utility to create an iso file from the movie folder on the hard drive. After opening Disk Utility, I did File > New > Disk Image From Folder, and pointed it to the movie folder (not to a sub-folder). I selected DVD/CD Master as the image format then clicked Save. It produced a file with a .cdr extension. Apple DVD Player would not play the resulting movie. VLC plays the movie, but video only - there is no sound?
Any advice on how to create an iso file from the movie that actually works? Thank you.

Is it a commercial DVD movie? They are usually encrypted, so can not be copied with Finder or Disk Utility unless you use FairMount.
<http://www.metakine.com/products/fairmount/>
A normal DVD does not use the AUDIO_TS folder. Video and audio are in the VIDEO_TS folder. You can just drag a VIDIO_TS folder onto DVD Player's dock icon to play them. You can also play them with "Open Disc" in VLC's "File" menu.
If you want to create a disk image file using Disk Utility, make it from the original DVD, not from files ion your had drive.
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2059>
If you usee the VIDEO_TS folder from your hard drive, the image will net be in UDF format, so DVD Player won't recognize it as a movie (though it can still play the VIDEO_TS file).
To make a UDF image from a VIDEO_TS folder, use Burn
<http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html>
Select the "Video" tab. set the format to "DVD-Video", drag the VIDEO_TS folder into Burn's window, then use "Save Image" in the "File" menu

VIDEO_TS content into Final Cut Pro HD?

Is there a way I can get content from a DVD's VIDEO_TS folder into Final Cut Pro HD?
I gave some footage to a person for editing purposes and I'm not very satisfied with the results. The image quality isn't the greatest and I'd like to add some effects to the video by importing the content into Final Cut Pro.
I would then like to re-encode the video with Compressor's High Quality Encode option with the hopes of improving the video's quality.
Is this possible and can someone please guide me on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks in Advance

If you're saying that you gave someone video footage (DV perhaps) they cut it and gave you a DVD, you're not going to get better quality by taking that DVD footage into FCP. You'll be compressing something that's already been compressed once and it's going to get worse everytime you do it.
You would be far better off getting the original footage and perhaps the project file that the editor created and recutting that way. Or even better, get the editor to make the changes you want and, if there were compression problems, do it again using better settings.
That being said, you can do what you want but you'll have to use software to demux the files... Mac the Ripper, etc. Do a search here for more info.

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:

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!

Burn DVD from VIDEO_TS folder

Hello! In 10.4 we used to burn video DVDs in Toast by dragging a folder containing VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders and clicking burn. Is there any built-in functionality in 10.5 that will achieve this, or must we purchase a new version of Toast? We also have Final Cut Studio 2, if that would help.

As Kurt stated, a version of Toast that works in 10.4 also will work in 10.5 for what you're doing. As for anything built in to OS 10.5, you need to use the application DVD Imager to create a UDF-format disc image before burning it with Disk Utility to a video DVD, just as in 10.4.
