What does the TS stand for in the VIDEO_TS Folder in a DVD?

[yoda313]

Hello,
Here's an odd, slightly off topic question. I know a lot about the basics of dvd creation and the like. I was curious as to what "TS" stands for in the name for the "VIDEO_TS" folder for the actual DVD content.

Possibility: TS means "Title Structure"???

Could this be the true meaning? Would this be then, the folder is the container for the video (ie title) and inside it needs a structure so hence they call it "video title structure"??@?!! {sorry for the run on sentence, techno babble tends to lead to lengthy discussions}

Any thoughts would be welcome for this interesting question.

I believe it means "Video Title Sets" IIRC.

Yes, stands for Title Sets
Really odd question though .

Hello,
Well that's two for title sets now.

Actually it's not that odd of a question. Everybody wants to know how to make a dvd, some of us want to know why its set up they way it is.

No harm in asking anyway, hmmm??

Hello,
VIDEO_TS.IFO. The 'Video [Title Set] Manager Information Set' is a configuration file that defines the disc structure and also includes region coding information.

VIDEO_TS.VOB. The 'Video [Title Set] Object file for VMG Menu', this file works like a bookmark to tell the player that it is the start of the disc.

VIDEO_TS.BUP. Backup file of the' Video Manager Information Set' (VIDEO_TS.IF0).

VTS_01_0.IFO. The' Video Title Set Information Configuration` file for the first lot of VOB files, it....

Thanks sacajaweeda! I knew the vob stuff just not the folder info. This is from the thread you posted. Have a nice day.
