AUDIO_TS file is empty

[LaNoche]

Hello and thanks in advance,

So I converted from .avi with .srt to .mpeg, then I did the authoring to DVD (VIDEO_TS) all in preparation to burn a DVD. But my AUDIO_TS folder is empty.
What do I do?

I never saw an audio_ts folder with anything in it.

The audio portion of your movie is contained in the .vob files inside the VIDEO_TS folder. The AUDIO_TS folder is used for an audio-DVD (basically, an audio CD, but with the larger capacity of a DVD). It will be empty for ordinary DVD movies.

AUDIO_TS is supposed to be empty.
Go ahead and burn them.

AUDIO_TS is empty because it was created to hold a future audio format that would use DVD discs instead of CDs. At the time DVD standards were being created that format did not exist so the directory is always empty on video DVDs, but it eventually became DVD Audio, as Noahtuck pointed out.
