Hi Jack

I've burnt dvd's this way also. All the info for the dvd player is in the 
VIDEO_TS folder. The AUDIO_TS folder is essentially empty. Don't know if it's 
required for a stand alone dvd player but I usually just burn both. At least 
that way the dvd will be compliant to standard as it were with both folders
