A dvd TS folder needs a demux all. Please advise which program does this. I have a fractured note on it
which is incomplete. My normal tool for this has been MKV Toolnix in the merge option.
Using Handbrake to process the TS folder to an MKV container did not yield an alternate audio stream containing comments.
The goal is to have both content audio and comments available selectively as would be normal
for a second language. If that is impossible I would remux with the commentary track only.

Enclosed is a screen shot.
I have seen the forei9gn language text streams in my sample Handbrake encode.
There is a commentary track to commentary +version_ on the disk which I've l
played on other occasions.
I will check the run time and see if ti is some how all in the TS but it's doubtful. -

I used MakeMKV a few times and found that I had an overheating problem on the processor. Plus it makes gigantic files. This is a peculiar problem. How can an alternate audio track be hidden under a rock someplace?
To my original question. How can everything be extracted? Is MakeMKV the only option?
As to tsMuxer, is that then a demuxer? I'd have to go to videohelp software list to
check that. -
MakeMKV doesn't recode or alter file size - a typical DVD is 4GB so 4GB in 4GB out but if you choose just the Main movie it will be less depending on how many extra's on the disc. Never heard of MakeMKV overheating ! I've transferred my entire DVD and Blu ray discs to my NAS, no problems. Just the main movie and stripped out all but the English subtitles and Main audio track, generally DTS or AC3. Why don't you try it and inspect the result before you hit the makemkv button . ir let it process the disc it then brings up a window for you to select which tracks you want. If you have already ripped the disc to the hdd using other programs and have a classic TS folder with bup, ifo and vob files it should be quicker processing. So you can see everything that is on the disc - simply untick what you don't want,

Today I used MakeMKV latest beta and everything went smoothly and didn't take hours and hours and the cpu usage looked moderate.
I test viewed the raw result (5 Gb.) That shows three alternate language streams plus three vob sub. Still no commentary track.
I wondered if reverting to using F8 in Auto Gordian Know would revel the stream in
AVI.
Next I'm going to go back and load the disk into my stand alone Sony player and run the
menus to see if the Commentary plays that way.
The length of the single video stream is the length of the content: 2 hrs 3 mins. There is not some continuous grouping of two complete shows in one file.
I have inspected the Text view of MediaInfo and can put that up here.
That's as far as I am. -
I loaded the disk in the normal way into my stand alone player.
The menu has the commentary and it loads as it should.
There are no audio ts files just large 6Gb original TS folder.
BUT, when I examined the TS folder in Explorer there were multiple TS folders all the same size. Down at TS_5 I found the complete content including original sound track, Commentary track (still unmarked) and plus all the subtitles etc.
It appears I may be able to Encode this element in Handbrake as intended.
This disc was originally made in 2001. There are multiple full copies within the TS folder but
MakeMKV etc only pulled out the top one is my conclusion.
Not done yet, but progress. -
Another drawback. Inspecting the element is just a partial 22 mins.
This seems unending. In the TS folder must be segmented and separate from the
MakeMKV I had done. I am again stumped as to analyze and patch together one copy of the content with all of its audio and subtitle tracks including the English commentary track.
--> Advise if a screen shot of the content I found in Explorer would help to get this solved.
I'm at the point where I don't understand the _organization_ of the disk itself at all.
The whole purpose of doing this is that the commentary, unlike most, has much to offer. -
Many DVDs will show multiple title items of the same movie, in similar sizes,
But if totaled all up, would be many times the size of the DVD
Only one is real ( the one you found that play's )
The rest are fake, the files do not exist on the DVD, they are phantom, the file index system of the DVD has been manipulated
It's part of the copy protection
The index pointers of those files may point to portions of the real file
So each fake copied is a bogus file that takes task space on your hd , but can be eliminated, from the copied folder
just copy the one playable folder and use that for your conversion
in some case, trying to do a whole disc copy is almost impossible, as the copy program will loop forever trying to analyze the disc
and the best case scenario is a main movie copy
OR
wait for a new release/update of the decryption programLast edited by theewizard; 1st Dec 2016 at 02:40.

Please post a MediaInfo report using VIEW --> Text so we can see the whole picture. Here is an example - I have chosen VOB number 4 in the collection contained in the VIDEO_TS folder.

Ok.
I'll paste in the Media Info of the original TS file from the Disk, not worrying about
all those 'stubs' are whatever they are.
Won't be immediate-- sometime soon. -
How many files are there in the original VIDEO_TS folder - are all the bup, ifo and vob files there? You often speak of a TS file which of course is not the same as a standard DVD format. Very confusing.
A normal stock standard DVD movie that one would buy would look like this if you opened in a file explorer - just want to be sure we are on the same page....SONY 75" Full array 200Hz LED TV, Yamaha A1070 amp, Zidoo UHD3000, BeyonWiz PVR V2 (Enigma2 clone), Chromecast, Windows 11 Professional, QNAP NAS TS851 -
Do DVDs ever have more than one VIDEO_TS folder? I'm not sure I've ever met one that does so maybe it's a copy protection problem.
Mind you if the disc was manufactured back in 2001 I would have thought it very unlikely to have that type of copy protection, but I can't imagine why else Explorer would be displaying multiple VIDEO_TS folders, assuming that's the issue. -
the screen shot of the dvd files looks normal to me and enough file size to be a dual layer disc
so if you want to burn it to a single layer disc it will have to be shrunk -
Interesting in the screen shot there are no IFO files. The BUP are there?

I will look at it again. I cropped off the title element of the screen shot.
-
Everything is here.
You can see three BUP files indicated at line One , three and the one below that. -
There should be matching IFO files as well - if there are 3 IFO files then there will be 3 BUP files.
Directory and file structure
A DVD volume for the DVD-Video format has the following structure of directories and files:[18][19]
Layout of files for DVD-Video
Layout of files for DVD-Video
AUDIO_TS directory: empty or not present on DVD-Video discs; contains files only on DVD Audio discs; a. k. a. Audio Title Sets directory; included on DVD-Video discs for compatibility reasons
VIDEO_TS directory: stores all data for the DVD-Video; a. k. a. Video Title Sets directory. This directory is required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc.
Video Manager (VMG) files:
VIDEO_TS.IFO file: the Video Manager (VMG) information file – stores control and playback information for the entire DVD – e. g. the First Play PGC (Program Chain),[20] locations of all Video Title Sets (VTS), table of titles, number of volumes, domains for multiple languages and regional and parental control settings, information about subtitles, audio tracks, etc. This file is required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc.[21]
VIDEO_TS.BUP file: the backup copy of the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. It is part of Video Manager (VMG).
VIDEO_TS.VOB file: the first-play Video Object of the DVD-Video disc, usually a copyright notice or a menu. It is part of Video Manager (VMG). This file is not required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc.
Video Title Set (VTS) files:
VTS_01_0.IFO file: stores control and playback information for the Video Title Set 01 – e. g. information about chapters, subtitles and audio tracks. A "VTS_zz_0.IFO" file (where "zz" is from 01 to 99) is required to be present on each VTS.[22]
VTS_01_0.BUP file: a backup copy of the VTS_01_0.IFO file. This file is required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc. It is part of Video Title Set (VTS).
VTS_01_0.VOB file: Video Title Set 01, Video Object 0, contains the menu for this title. This file is not required to be present on a DVD-compliant disc.
VTS_01_1.VOB file: Video Title Set 01, Video Object 1, contains the video for this title. At least one file "VTS_zz_1.VOB" is required in the VTS and each "VTS_zz_x". DVD-Video can contain up to 99 (1–99) titles with max 10 (0–9) VOB files each. The last possible VOB file is VTS_99_9.VOB.
… etc.
IFO files store control and playback information – e. g. information about chapters, subtitles and audio tracks. They do not store any video or audio data or subtitles.
BUP files are only backups of the IFO files.
Domains
Data structures recorded on a DVD-compliant disc are components of one of the four data groups called domains:[23][24][25][26]
First-play (FP) – First Play PGC located in the VIDEO_TS.IFO file
Video Manager (VMG) – contains VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.BUP and VIDEO_TS.VOB
Video Title Set (VTS) – contains "VTS_zz_x.IFO", "VTS_zz_x.BUP" and "VTS_zz_x.VOB" files (where "x" is from 1 to 9)
Video Title Set Menu (VTSM) – uses "VTS_zz_0.VOB" filesSONY 75" Full array 200Hz LED TV, Yamaha A1070 amp, Zidoo UHD3000, BeyonWiz PVR V2 (Enigma2 clone), Chromecast, Windows 11 Professional, QNAP NAS TS851 -
I think the IFO files are there, but Explorer isn't displaying the file extensions. And it appears VLC got all possessive when it was installed and decided VOB files should be labelled "VLC Media File (.vob)" to make it harder to identify them. Below each BUP file in the screenshot there's another file of identical size which would make them the IFO files. The second file shown by Explorer would be VIDEO_TS.IFO.
There's no sign of the multiple TS folders mentioned earlier though. There's multiple VTS files roughly the same size. Below the second BUP file is another IFO file, so if Explorer wasn't set to hide the file extensions you'd have a folder called "VIDEO_TS" containing:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB (it would be a menu)
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB
VTS_01_6.VOB
If I'm interpreting the MediaInfo information currently, VOBs 1,2,4 & 5 are around 23 min in duration. 3 & 6 are around 15 minutes, which makes up the entire runtime.
There's four audio streams. English, French, English Director's Commentary and English. It appears the first English stream is mono, as are the French and Directors Commentary Streams, while the fourth audio stream is stereo, or more likely "dual mono".
VTS_02_0.BUP and onwards are no doubt some sort of DVD "extras".
Unless there's something odd happening it all seems to be pretty standard. I'm not sure why MakeMKV couldn't rip the video with all four audio streams correctly, or Handbrake for that matter, but I don't use either myself.
loninappleton,
If there's no copy protection you could probably open VTS_01_1.VOB with MeGUI's file indexer and get it to index the video and extract the audio with DGIndex. It'll automatically include vob files 2 thru 6. With any luck it'll extract four audio streams and the third stream should be the directors commentary. If there is copy protection, you'll need to rip it first.Last edited by hello_hello; 2nd Dec 2016 at 14:38.

I found the IFO files but am having all sort of problems in using Paint program.
I found them by reviewing the Folder Options and there was a check box which when unchecked revealed the IFO. There are three IFOs for this disk. Without a good crop you'll just have to talk me through whatever it is involving IFO. I'll continue to try to do the crop.
from google
Displaying the File Extension in Windows Vista and Windows 7
Click the Start menu. ...
Type "folder options" (without the quotes). ...
A dialog box with the title "Folder Options" will appear. ...
Click to uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types".
Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the dialog box.
There is more than one hide/reveal option on there. I normally have one checked but
the known file types had to be changed. -
I have a crop now in attachment. This should show the TS files only with no header.
As an aside, I was able to view a different file of this content from another source. That one did not have the alternate commentary track on it either. This is why I continue with the project. -

If the OP is having problems doing a screen capture I wonder if Snipping Tool built into Windows might be a simple solution?

Hello HH
A lot of this is confusing for all the alphabet soup. As you know I have to do things by rote.
On the disk there are two elements: a TS _folder_ which I opened to get the screen image shown and a 'cover art' something or other which has some numeric files in it which are very small. I misspoke on TS vs vts on the disk.
The files shown of about 1 Gb each with VLC icons apparently refer to twenty or 40 minute segments and those contain the commentary stream. If MKV merge or some such could join them that may be an answer. But I'm here to get the best advice on procedure to make a small encode just for the purpose of saving the comment audio. -
You are totally confused even though the info has been given to you
Every DVD is produced the same way, a video ts folder with all the needed files in it, and a empty Audi folder with nothing in it
No other ts folders..
And occasionally a data folder with pictures etc..
Every DVD has multiple vob files together they make up the movie
There is not one file with whole movie
The audio tracks, all of them are in the vob files
Each vob has all four audio tracks including the commentary
It is the menu options controlled by the Ifo files that tell the DVD player which sound track to play when you press the buttons and make your menu choices
What are you wanting to do
Backup the whole DVD ?
Do you want a one file movie that always play's the commentary without using menu ?
A DVD that always play's the commentary ?
Each choice is a different procedure
There is nothing wrong with your source DVD
We can't tell you how to proceed, unless we know what exactly you want to do
"MakeMkv" will copy the main movie into one file on your hd ...NO DVD menu items
The sound tracks will be in the movie
And can be selected using VLC player audio stream optionsLast edited by theewizard; 2nd Dec 2016 at 17:56.
