A few times, I've downloaded the files and folders that make up a DVD. Like the TS_Video folder with the VOB files inside, just as they are on the DVD.

However, I cannot find a way, or an app, to burn that back as a DVD. I recently downloaded Madonna's Re-Invention Tour in Lisbon, and it's this setup. BURN for Mac - I can't figure out how to do this particular thing. I've tried just dragging the folder to the "Make DVD" part, but it never burns it to where I can put the DVD in a regular play and have it work.

I have Windows XP on the Mac as well, so if there is a PC based program to do the same thing, I can work with that as well.

I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out, but this one just stumps me. I end up ripping the DVD folder to AppleTV format and just putting the file on my AppleTV to watch. But damn it, I'd like to have the DVD itself, especially after I spend hours downloading 4 gigs from some download-limited site or wherever, then spend another 2 hours ripping it with Handbrake.

use nero for windows or toast for mac


www.videohelp.com has guides and software etc

Toast is what I use on a mac, I don't think the OS in itself has an option to burn a video TS folder.

iDVD?

I only have windows, and lately I've been using IMgburn in build mode. I usually use Nero, but it burns my VIDEO_TS files too slow for some reason.

I did not know about Build Mode. I'll give it a try.

Unfortunately Build Mode did not work. My BluRay would not recognize the disk, but a regular DVD player did. Another PC just opened the disk with the files on it, as if it were a data disk, not a DVD.

I grabbed a copy of Toast, and rebooted on the OS X side. It seemed to work there, because it had an option for VIDEO_TS folder stuff. I like the newer Toast (it's been a few years since I've used it for anything, as I don't burn a lot of DVDs or CDs). I had a bunch of AVI's of Three's Company extras from various DVDs (like bloopers, interviews w/ folks, etc). I pulled those AVIs in and after a couple of hours, it burned a great disk (it had to encode everything of course) which worked on my BluRay player. I'm burning another DVD now of other various sundry, and swarthy, items. I don't know why I waited so long to try Toast again. I will really be able to clean up my hard drive today and make some cool DVDs.

The Madonna Lisbon DVD turned out good though with Toast, and I was happy to watch The ReInvention Tour last night, as I never got into the American Life album, or that tour.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
