Video_ts Files

[MetDream]

Some of the DVDs I have show they are VIDEO_TS files. I can play them on my DVD Player that plays both PAL and NTSC formats. But on my computer I can only play them in a medai player called Power DVD. Is there a way, a plug in or something, to make them play in WINAMP or Windows Media player? Thanks.

I don't know exactly what the video_ts files are, but they probably have something to do with chapter marks and menu links. The only files you should play are the .vob files, which contain the menu (most of the time vts_01_0.vob) and the actual video (most of the time vts_01_1.vob and up, but if the dvd contains separate movies there could also be a vts_02_x.vob, a vts_03_x.vob etc...)

Hope this says it all!

Windows Media Player supports DVDs, but it doesn't have its own MPEG-2 decoder. However, it should be able to use Power DVD's decoder to play DVDs. I'd recommend sticking with Power DVD though.

No idea about Winamp...

Thanks. I think too the DVDs are in PAL format so the person I sent them too couldnt play them on their regular DVD player either. But I did sent him the information about Power DVD to be able to veiw them.
