Create video_ts from M4V

I posted this earlier but now can't find it on this huge site. If you read it please tell me where.


I have a slideshow maker that is excellent but produces only M4V files. I want to change that to a video_ts folder and wish to make that change to be done on the hard drive of this computer. What software will do this?


I know I can burn that M4V to a DVD and that makes the video_ts folder which I can then copy back to the hard drive but that seems to be a long way round. Surely I can do it without have to burn and then trash a dvd.


Somebody is going to ask why. When I have the video_ts folder on this hard drive I can burn a dvd which will show slides on a dvd player and also have the individual data files on the disc.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

True again but........... If you have the Video_ts folder then the ISO adds nothing. It is the Video_ts folder that so far I have been able to make only by burning a video disc. I want to make a video_ts folder on my hard drive without wasting a disc.

Ha, I have stumbled on the answer and will share it with you all.


I make my slideshow in Fotomagico and that does not write to a disc. I take the file it makes and put that into Toast Titanium. That has options to make a disk (which has on it the video_ts folder) or output to file. I tried the output to file and that made a single file which was labelled xxx.toast which I thought was of no use to me. In Finder I double clicked that and it opened like a folder to reveal video_ts and audio_ts. I dragged those two to a folder and found they work exactly as I want.


Now I am happy.
