How to play VIDEO_TS on Windows 10 and 11 (step by step)

This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to play VIDEO_TS folders and files on Windows 10 and 11.

A VIDEO_TS folder is a Video DVD folder that contains three types of VIDEO_TS files required to play Video DVD movies. The three files are VIDEO_TS.VOB, VIDEO_TS.IFO, and VIDEO_TS.BUP.

The VIDEO_TS.VOB file contains video and audio data. The VIDEO_TS.IFO file contains information like a DVD menu, subtitles, etc. The VIDEO_TS.BUP file contains a backup of the information.
