How to Burn Video TS & Audio TS Files to a DVD
By Andrew Schrader
Audio and Video TS folders are the main contents on a DVD. All the DVD's information is located within these folders, including the VOB, BUP and IFO files. Since you already have the Audio and Video TS folders, you have what is called a pre-authored DVD, meaning your files are ready to be burnt. However, there are no programs that come standard with your computer that can burn these files straight to DVD, so you will need to download software from the Internet. Choices include Nero, ImToo DVD Creator and AVS Video Converter, among others. Each has the option of downloading a free trial before purchasing the software.

Step 3
Click on the input file browser to locate and select the Video TS folder. Right-click the folder and select "Copy to Compilation."
