If those are the exact names you're getting of the folders on the source disk, it's wrong. They must be VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.


These are the only folder names a set-top player will recognize.


Other note. AUDIO_TS hasn't been used for years. You will almost always find this one to be empty as the video and audio has combined for a long time. But, the AUDIO_TS folder is still created for backward compatibility. Otherwise, really old players won't play the disk if that folder is missing.
