• VIDEO_TS contains all data for DVD-Video, and it contains 3 file types:
  · VIDEO_TS VOB file (Video OBjects) includes the video (in MPEG2 format), audio (in Dolby Digital AC3, DTS or others), and subtitle streams (.sub and .idx files).
  · VIDEO_TS IFO file (InFOrmation) aims to tell the DVD player when to play the video chapters, where the audio streams and subtitles are, and other control and playback information like that.
