Instant copy does not put this folder in automatically.
I havent had any problems yet, but as The Poacher says, some players are meant to reject the disc.

You are right davemll. InstantCopy does not put this folder in.
I myself wonder too, though haven't had any problem yet.
I tried to search for info's about this folder and its "function" but did not find much about it.
If someone have knowledge about this please educate us?!!!!

Just add a Blank AUDIO_TS folder and burn together with VIDEO_TS. Try it.

Maestro automatically generates an empty AUDIO_TS folder when it authors.

I also have MANY original DVD's with no AUDIO_TS folder, all have the VIDEO_TS folder only. If its needed, then why is Hollywood producing dvd's that would not work in all DVD Players ?

Can someone actually name a DVD player that will not play a dvd disk WITHOUT the Audio_TS folder ?

My m8 in the UK has a player that won't play the discs w/o the AUDIO_TS folder ... will ask him what he's got. My Apex 1100W plays 'em fine. Actually, NONE of the originals I have or have ripped from contain the AUDIO_TS fodler at all.

I always add one myself but have never had any playback problems on discs without the AUDIO_TS folder. Strange situation really.

Hi 420 and welcome to the forum m8, I think I know you from some place else maybe?

Good to see you here!

@420, yes would love to know the make and model if it can be absolutely varified it cant play a DVD without an AUDIO_TS folder on the DVD. Can you varify by using a pressed bought (or hired DVD) rather than a DVDR as that can have media issues.

Many thanks.

@Laz, yes I to add the folder in always as its so simple to do anyway and dont have any playback problems. I suppose its a case of "just in case" really. I have not heard, seen or read any actual conformation as to whether it should be included or not. Just opinions. Still searching.

I once read it on doom9 or vcdhelp, but it may have been corrected now.
If possible I put one in, cos its sods law someone u know will suddenly find they dont work.
I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.
