Need to convert video_ts / video_rm files to m4v

[PaperQueen]

Hi all,

I've been given a DVD of an event I was part of, but the files are saved in two folders: video_ts and video_rm. Anyone have advice about how to convert them to m4v format, for use on AppleTV, iOS devices, etc.?

If possible to process this through either MacX Video Converter Pro -or- iMedia Converter Deluxe, that would be great (already own both programs).

Thanks in advance for your shared wisdom.

I've heard of Video_ts and Audio_ts but that video_rm sounds like you have an old RealMedia transport stream file which usually only opens with Real Player.

Handbrake will convert the Video_ts folder.

VIDEO_TS normally points to a video DVD, in which case HandBrake can help.
As to the VIDEO_RM folder, it indicates that the DVD has been burnt with a video recorder.
