So if you have a VIDEO_TS Folder and Tiger 10.4 (but no Toast) how can you burn the VIDEO_TS onto a blank DVD??

Does this create something that will play on a standard DVD player?

Probably not, since DVD players care about things like the way blocks are laid out on the disc, which a regular filesystem does not care about.

I think it should be OK. As long as you just burn the VIDEO_TS folder and AUDIO_TS folder into the root level of the DVD. Haven't tested it though.

Hello,
Actually, just burning the files on the root of the DVD will not work on a normal DVD player. The format for DVD players is different than that of a data disc for OS X. The same thing applies to audio...you can't just burn a bunch of wave files and get a playable audio CD, as you need to burn the disc in a format recognizeable to the player. You are in luck though...there is a program called DVD Imager which does exactly what you want. You provide a VIDEO_TS folder and it produces a burnable image that you can burn using disk utility and will then play in your dvd player.

If you have Toast 6 or later, burn it as a "DVD-ROM (UDF)" format, and make sure the disc name has only capital letters and underscores, for example: "LONG_MOVIE". Also, make sure the only contents of the disc are the VIDEO_TS folder (this is the only one it actually needs) and perhaps an AUDIO_TS folder if one was included in your DVD rip/build.

As well as DVD imager, idvd and sizzle should work too. They will also produce disk images that you can burn in disk utility.

iDVD can't open a VIDEO_TS folder, though.
