I have heard conflicting reports: is it necessary to put the VIDEO_TS folder in uppercase letters? What happens if it is in lowercase? Does it make it unreadable? Are players that finicky?

Thanks

multi-posting pisses off the moderators, I know - I did it a couple of times and had my topics closed.

Yes I know. I inadvertantly added the post in the DVD writer section by mistake. BTW, you didn't answer the question.

As far as I know, ALL filenames and directory names should be upper case.

Although I always use U/case VIDEO and AUDIO_TS when authoring, I have come across several commercial DVDs with just "Video_ts" in the root.
These DVDs played OK regardless on my equipment.
For compatibility with all players, it doesn't hurt to u/case and add both VIDEO and AUDIO titleset names.

The original DVD spec required all capitalization. This hasn't changed. However, some players are accepting Joilet nameing extentions (ie, lower case lettering). For full compatibility, always use caps... always.

This could be something that Windows did (you have to check a box to get it to display a file as it was written). I doubt that any commercial DVD would stray from the standard like this.

indeed, most players go beyond the standard and will accept variations in case. The good authoring programs ive used and ifoedit all insist directories AND filenames are all uppercase so best to do this
