how to recreate AUDIO_TS folder

[magicrat]

Hi everybody,

a friend of mine has burned to me a DVD but I can't play it on my player, probably because folder AUDIO_TS is missing.

Is there a way to re-burn, re-author, re-something the DVD recreating the AUDIO_TS folder so that I can play it on my DVD player (by the way, it's a Sony)?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion

You just make an empty folder called AUDIO_TS and burn it with the VIDEO_TS folder that contains your info. It doesn't need anything in it.

That's not your problem with the disc. I have seen many original DVD's that didn't have the AUDIO_TS folder and they all play in my three players.

Do you mean simply:
1) copy all DVD content on the HD;
2) add the AUDIO_TS folder to the folder where I've copied the DVD;
3) open Nero and choose copy DVD where the source is the HD folder where I've copied the DVD.

Is it that simple?

You do not need the AUDIO_TS folder, it is part of the DVD Audio spec not the DVD Video spec.

Even so, it doesnt do any harm and can only help to improve compatibility.

Try RIPPING the DVD using DVD DECRYPTER in FILE MODE and make sure you select ALL FILES

Then run ImgTool (the classic version) which will add the missing AUDIO_TS folder while creating an ISO IMAGE file for you.

Then BURN to a DVD-R using DVD DECRYPTER.

Easy
