What is VIDEO_TS?
When you insert a video DVD into your computer, you can open the DVD and view the contents just like a folder on your hard drive. Most video DVDs have two folders in the root directory ¨C AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. These names are short for "audio transport stream" and "video transport stream." The VIDEO_TS folder contains all the DVD's video data and playback information. A typical VIDEO_TS folder may contain some files with extension of VOB, IFO and BUP. The AUDIO_TS folder is used for storing audio data for DVD-audio discs. If the DVD contains only video content, the AUDIO_TS folder will be empty. Therefore, most DVDs have an empty AUDIO_TS folder.
