For discussions sake, a "VIDEO_TS" is a "storage folder" in a DVD video structure which contains various DVD files such as .vob files, etc. The VLC Player will open such folders easily and play the video files inside.

Unless you're referring to an actual file with a .ts file extension. In that case, you need a converter which converts the MPEG2 stuff inside into something playable by a normal player. But in some cases, you can actually rename the .ts file to a .mpeg file and it will play in most players. Still, VLC should play it either way.

Hope this helps.

The TS files can be easily found from HD camcorders such as Panasonic, Canon, Sony and more, Blu-ray DVD and normal dvd satellite decoders and more. TS files has poor compatibility with most of media players, portable devices and video editing tools. By far, the default software to play TS video is VLC media player. What's more, the TS files on decoders are usually strictly encrypted while that on DVD are not encrypted in the real sense of the world.
