Burn Video_TS files

[MidnightFlyer]

What method do I use to burn video files (Video_TS) from my hard drive to a DVD disk?

Thanks

Take a look at the DVD Video guides in the Guides section.

Something like this one will probably do the job.

Thanks for the quick reply!!  I asked for instructions because I tried 2 other software and all they did was copy the files to the DVD, but I couldn’t view as a movie.

If you've already got a VIDEO_TS folder with the correct files in it, that's pretty much all that needs to happen.

So what you may actually need is an authoring / conversion program that'll give you the complete set of DVD Video files you can then burn to disc.

Yes, it sounds like you've got MPG, MP4, or MKV files that are being copied to disc by the other software.  Unless your player natively supports those formats, nothing will play from such a disc.  You need some kind of container conversion software.  I use ConvertXToDVD.

 

Your VIDEO_TS folder needs to contain things like a VIDEO_TS.IFO file, other .IFO files, and things called .VOB's to be a playable DVD on a DVD player.  And make sure you're putting VIDEO_TS in the root directory of a Build job in ImgBurn.  ImgBurn will make the necessary changes itself if you add a compliant VIDEO_TS folder with the necessary files.
