• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I have a series of training DVD's I need to consolidate onto One DVD.
I take the Video TS folder and drag it onto my desktop and the files transfer no problem, but when I then take that same Video TS folder and burn it to a DVD the DVD doesnt play after its burned..


What am I missing?:D

You are probably just creating a Data disc, you need to use iDVD or Toast (or one of the many others) to get it into a DVD playable format.

If the files in the TS folder are Mpeg1 I think iMovie or iDVD can read them, if so you could just use the "Magic iDVD" option (assuming you have iDVD 6 that is), when you do that you just drag the movies into the little boxes, choose a them and hit the "Create Project" button. Then you can edit the titles and hit "Burn" to get a DVD from it.

Even if they aren't you could use VLC to convert them to Mp4 which iDVD and iMovie.
