Convert video_ts and audio_ts to iso

Hi. I used Finder and drag-and-drop to copy a DVD movie to my hard drive. To do this, I created a new folder with the name of the movie. I then dragged-and-dropped the video_ts and audio_ts files from the DVD to the folder. The result is that the movie folder has two sub-folders, one for video_ts and one for audio_ts. Inside the sub-folders are all the bup, ifo and vob files. I can point Apple DVD Player or VLC media player to the movie folder, and both play the movie just fine.

I then used Disk Utility to create an iso file from the movie folder on the hard drive. After opening Disk Utility, I did File > New > Disk Image From Folder, and pointed it to the movie folder (not to a sub-folder). I selected DVD/CD Master as the image format then clicked Save. It produced a file with a .cdr extension. Apple DVD Player would not play the resulting movie. VLC plays the movie, but video only - there is no sound?

Any advice on how to create an iso file from the movie that actually works? Thank you.

Is it a commercial DVD movie? They are usually encrypted, so can not be copied with Finder or Disk Utility unless you use FairMount.

A normal DVD does not use the AUDIO_TS folder. Video and audio are in the VIDEO_TS folder. You can just drag a VIDIO_TS folder onto DVD Player's dock icon to play them. You can also play them with "Open Disc" in VLC's "File" menu.

If you want to create a disk image file using Disk Utility, make it from the original DVD, not from files ion your had drive.

If you usee the VIDEO_TS folder from your hard drive, the image will net be in UDF format, so DVD Player won't recognize it as a movie (though it can still play the VIDEO_TS file).

To make a UDF image from a VIDEO_TS folder, use Burn

Select the "Video" tab. set the format to "DVD-Video", drag the VIDEO_TS folder into Burn's window, then use "Save Image" in the "File" menu
