DVD Movie VIDEO_TS Burn.

[mattstan]

Hi,

 

When burning a DVD movie to disk in 'Write files/folders to disk' mode you can add a folder or more. It seems to me there are several ways to do this.

 

Lets say on my hard disk I have a DVD movie ready to burn in the following folder:

 

c:\DVD\Crash\

 

which has 2 sub dirs:

 

c:\DVD\Crash\AUDIO_TS (empty)

c:\DVD\Crash\VIDEO_TS

 

When I add the folder(s) to burn this DVD I can add folders in 3 different ways, either:

 

1) Add just: c:\DVD\Crash\

 

2) Add just: c:\DVD\Crash\VIDEO_TS

 

3) Add both: c:\DVD\Crash\AUDIO_TS and c:\DVD\Crash\VIDEO_TS

 

Is there any difference at all in what gets burned between these 3 different folder adding possibilities?

 

In my tests, but outputting to ISO files, they appear to burn exactly the same folders/files.

 

So am I correct in thinking that if I choose to burn using the 2) option of selecting just the c:\DVD\Crash\VIDEO_TS folder that ImgBurn automatically knows to add an empty AUDIO_TS folder? To put it another way, is it not necessary for me to manually create an empty AUDIO_TS folder on my hard disk because if I am burning a VIDEO_TS folder ImgBurn is smart enough to know to burn an empty AUDIO_TS folder alongside it?

 

Finally as a new user to ImgBurn who will be primarily using it to burn movie DVDs, are there any pitfalls or option settings that I should be aware of?

 

Thanks a lot everyone, regards, etc.

Correct, they're all the same.

 

Yes it adds the AUDIO_TS folder automatically.

 

The only time they'd be different is when you have other files/folders you want in the image - in which case you need to use option 1 so it picks those up.

Thanks again LIGHTNING UK! - what speedy replies, thank's so much for clarifying this for me.

 

A great tool you've created - cheers for that as well.
