I have an (empty) AUDIO_TS folder along with a VIDEO_TS folder containing *.IFO, *.BUP, & *.VOB files on my hard drive that I downloaded via BitTorrent.
I am having difficulty in converting this to a working DVD that plays in my Stand-alone DVD Player.
I have Nero Vision Express 3, Nero Express 6, DVD Shrink, DVD Decryptor software packages.
When I double-click on the VIDEP_TS.IFO file on my hard drive
- Nero Showtime pops up and plays this (psuedo) DVD with expected menu behavior. IE: Everything works. I am able to mouse-click on menu items which in turn plays the sub-menu or video object. It behaves (in Nero Showtime) as I would expect it to behave - all menu items work as intended.
Now, I want to burn this to DVD (either DVD-R or DVD+R: I have both).
However, when using Nero Vision Express 3 (either "making a movie" OR "adding video files") the final burned DVD does not "behave" as it does while on my Hard Drive. None of the menus "work" as expected.
Also - when either making a movie or adding video files to my "project" - ONLY *.VOB files show up in the Supported Files List and Not the VIDEO_TS.IFO files.
When using Nero Vision Express3, it seems like I am forced to use one of their menu templates and none of the menus included in the VIDEO_TS folder. (Maybe I am missing something here when it comes to making menus with Nero Vision Express)
The DVD I end up getting is one where the menus are just like any other "video object" and not "functional" as a menu. In fact what I get is the first menu plays for about 30 - 50 seconds (as long as the time it takes to "repeat" itself), the the 2nd sub-menu, then the 3rd sub-menu, ect . . ., then the actual "movie" video object (about 55 minutes)
What software can I use to burn this VIDEO_TS folder (along with an empty AUDIO_TS folder) so that it works as a DVD "should" - with the included menu items working as intended ?
I tried using the method suggested by an AfterDawn guide whereby I covert my VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS Folders to an ISO Image, then used DVD Decryptor to write in ISO mode. However, it only plays on my PC and not my stand-alone (Sony) DVD Player.
I need some guidance please, Thanks.
