Folder

Formerly called a 'directory' under the DOS/Windows operating systems. This is a logical division on storage media containing files and other folders. It is relevant for DVDs because these use standard folders and files to hold their data. The folder holding the data for DVD Video is called VIDEO_TS while that for DVD Audio is called AUDIO_TS. Audio CDs, by contrast, do not use standard computer filing systems which is why their contents generally do not show up in a sensible form when inspected by standard computer file tools.
