VideoLAN and the VLC development team present VLC 1.1.12, a bug and security fix release with improvements for audio output on Mac OS X and with PulseAudio. This release was necessary due to a security issue in the HTTP and RTSP server components, though this does not affect standard usage of the player. This details the current output of your configure. To launch and get the current information about this file:./configure -help `configure' configures vlc 2.1.0-git to adapt to many kinds of systems.

File Type 1Video Transport Stream File

What is a TS file?

A TS file is a video stream file used to store video on a DVD. It compresses video data using standard MEPG-2 (.MPEG) video compression. The TS file format is used primarily to save streamed or broadcast video.

TS files are often saved as multiple files on a DVD, such as moviename1.ts, moviename2.ts, moviename3.ts, and so on. You can open and play TS files using various media players and video editing software, including the programs we list below.

NOTE: If necessary, you can attempt to rename a TS file to use the MPEG extension and open it as an MPEG movie.

How do I open a TS file?

You can open TS files using VideoLAN VLC media player, a free-to-download media player. To open a TS file in VLC media player:

1. Select Media/File → Open File….
2. Navigate to the folder containing the TS file.
3. Select the TS file and either click or double-click the file to open it.

File Type 2TypeScript File

.TS File Association 2

A TS file is a text file that contains TypeScript code, an open source programming language developed by Microsoft. TypeScript is a superset of ECMAScript 2015, which is a superset of JavaScript. It is used for developing medium- to large-scale JavaScript applications for server-side or client-side execution. TS files are similar to JavaScript .JS files.

TypeScript was made public in late 2012 and was developed for the purpose of easing the development of components in complex JavaScript code. It is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript, which can be run on web browsers, in Node.js, or in any JavaScript engine supporting ECMAScript 3 or later. The language extension comes with all the features of JavaScript while adding features such as static type checking, interfaces, type erasure, enumerated type, and namespaces.

File Type 3Qt Translation Source File

.TS File Association 3

Language translation file created by the lupdate utility, which is included with Digia's Qt SDK; contains phrases and their translations into another language; used for storing translations specific to a particular application.

TS files can be converted to .QPH files using the lconvert utility, which is included with the Qt SDK. Unlike TS files, QPH can be used for multiple applications. Both TS and QPH files are stored in an XML format.

NOTE: Qt SDK was previously developed by Nokia before Digia acquired the software.

Not only does it play DVDs, but it can also play VCDs and AVIs that other players won't touch, and it will play the audio of AVIs that QuickTime plays mute!

this application is incredible. i've been able to do things with it that quicktime (and the horrid windows media) couldn't possibly do. very stable, great fullscreen, stop and start with the space bar, streams off the network flawlessly, just can't say enough about it.
now if we could only get the freakin real player for osx we'd have a true multimedia-capable os.. come on, real. get off yer lazy butts.

It has more to do with available resources than laziness. You will see a OS X RealPlayer fairly soon, but it will not be on par with the monopoly version at first.
There are some happenings which should make you happy in the not too distant future.

Well, I'm not too experienced with it, but perhaps you should look into using ffmpeg to convert your real files into something you can use. I haven't worked with it too much, but it does a fine job of converting RealAudio files into mp3s. Here is a thread that I posted over at Mac.Ach. at ArsTechnica. My last post in the thread gives some details.

Like I said, I haven't worked with it too much, so I don't know what it does for video or streams, but it might be worth looking into while you wait for Real to get with the program...

Cheers. :)

The reason that vlc can have screenshots taken is that it uses only software to decode it. (this is also why it runs quite slow on older machines.) Apple's DVD player uses hardware to decode it, and apparently ATI's hardware decoding prevents screenshots from being taken.

Apple has been using software decoding for DVDs since the first generation AGP G4s and iMacs with DVD ROM. OS 9 came with DVD player 2.2 while I had DVD player 1.4 for my B&W G3.
The first DVD player in OS X only supported AGP macs and did not support B&W G3s and Yikes G4s. All Macs since the Sawtooth G4 have software decoding DVD.

This app sounds fantastic. But I wonder if there's a limit to its usefulness with regard to DVDs encoded for foreign markets.
I read that the DVD drives in current PowerBooks (and possibly desktops) will play DVDs encoded for regions other than North America. But there's a limit to the number of times you can do that: apparently each time you use a foreign disk there's a switch that is offset. When you play a NA DVD, that switch is reset. After x times, it sticks with whatever was the most recently used encoding format. (So you could end up locking out the North American encoding.)
So, does VLC override this issue?

The behavior you describe is true of all DVD drives in computers. The only reason you don't see the messages is because all drives come with the default region set to 1 for the USA. If you never play DVD's from another region you will never have to worry about the problem of changes on your drive. You have a maximum of five changes of region before the firmware on the mechanism has the fifth selection set in firmware so it can not be changed again. There are applications like Region X that allow you to make more changes than the normal five once you have removed the region protection from the drive. The best site for firmware cracks is www.firmware.fr.st. Here you will find cracks for most Mac installed DVD-ROM drives as well as DVD-R drives to make them region free.

To read and decrypt DVDs, VLC uses the libdvdcss library which does not care about the region code (unlike most commercial players). It should play all DVDs, whatever you drive's region is.

That should be the case, but it isn't.
I tried to play a Japanese encoded dvd (region 2), and the menu nav didn't work, and the audio was just static.
the video did work, but you had to navigate to the different sections using the load disk function and then select the sections using the 'title' selector.
Just as an aside, the dvd played fine using apple's dvd player.

Just the other day I discovered this. I was trying to capture frames of a DVD, and VLC was the only way I could get it to work. The problem is, for my application I need the ability to grab two or three consecutive frames. Unfortunately, VLC has no way to do this, other than pure luck and lots of headaches. You can't move frame by frame. I found the navigation controls in general to be quite lacking. It's hard to just fast forward or rewind a few seconds. I very much hope they put some thought into this in future releases, because it would be much more enjoyable to use.

DVD capture has been around for ages, and is free.

Never had any troubles with this.
