Creating a homemade DVD

Would someone mind detailing how to burn a DVD that plays in a stand alone DVD-player ? I have some AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files in my hard drive I'd like to get off my computer onto playable DVDs.

I tried just dragging and dropping into a blank DVD image and burning that in Finder or Disk Utility, but it seems I wound up with a data DVD that my standalone DVD player couldn't read. After burning it and I can see that these discs will mount as "Mac OS Extended".

Anyone know ?

I think you'll need Toast to do that. It can take those _TS folders and build a correct disk format. It would be one movie per disc.

The reason you can't do a drag & drop from the Finder is that video DVD has different formatting from a data DVD.
