You may see the VIDEO_TS folder very often on your computer when you have downloaded movies from torrent sites. Yet those VIDEO_TS folders cannot sometimes be played directly on a DVD player. Hence, this article will cover the best solutions to help you convert MP4 to DVD. Now, let's start with what video_ts is.

What is Video_TS Folder?

A video_ts is a folder that stores DVD data for the downloaded movie. It includes three kinds of files, including Video_TS.IFO, Video_TS.BUP, and Video_TS.VOB.

Video_TS.IFO is a file that backup information, such as DVD chapters, DVD menu, subtitles, audio tracks, etc. This file stores all the control and playback information like what data should be loaded first and how many volumes there are.
Video_TS.BUP is the exact copies file of the IFO files, which help to play the DVD video correctly when the IFO files can't be read.
Video_TS.VOB is the file that contains the video&audio data - the main parts of a DVD, subtitles, and other data.

It is important to note that Video_TS files are typically encrypted with CSS copy protection, which prevents them from being copied or played on unauthorized devices. To bypass this copy protection, you may need to use a DVD ripping software to extract the contents of the Video_TS folder and convert them into a more accessible format.
