I have a video DVD that I have extracted using MacTheRipper (free tool that decodes and removes protections etc).
I now am trying to burn this info to a DVD so it will be readable in a regular DVD player. Should I simply copy the extracted files using Mac OS?

Most new DVD players will simply recognize it if you copy the Video_TS folder but ideally you would use Disk Utility or Toast to turn the extraction folder (/YourDVD) into an image (.dmg, .iso, or .toast). Then using either of those applications have it burn that image as it will contain any and all files including hidden ones if there are any.

DVD's usually contain two folders - AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS
If the extracted files are like that, then - yes - burn that bitch.

So I burned the ripped AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders onto a DVD-R. It didn't read on the Mac OS DVD Player. I thought it was because I had copied them in a folder with these folders in it.
I re-burned the DVD with just the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS on the root of the disc. Still does not play on the Mac or a regular DVD player.Anyone?
- Do the disc image thing I said. Preferably in Toast.ismith

1) Put the VIDEO_TS folder into another folder by the name of the Movie.
2) Open Disk Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities)
3) Select: File -> New -> New Disc Image from Folder... (Shift-Command-N)
4) Select your Movie folder and click "Image"
5) Set "Image Format:" to "DVD/CD Master" and click "Save"
6) Select the new image in the left column and click "Burn" to make your DVD.
Or, if you have Toast, you can just put the TS folder into DVD-UDF and click burn

Thanks GRAC.
I followed all these steps to create the DVD using the disc utility but the disc created still does not read. Strange as I ripped the original to my hard drive using Mac The Ripper, so there should be no protections etc. on the data...

FYI you don't have to burn a DVD every time you try this. Just mount the image you created ad in DVD Player, point to it (I think it's file > open Video_TS or something like that). If it works with the image, it will work after you burn it.
Do what GRAC said except instead of dragging it to a new folder, just make the image from the folder created by MacTheRipper. If it still doesn't work then I can't think of anything else, since this is what always worked for me.

you need to set Toast to 'DVD-ROM (UDF)' mode then drag in the video_TS and audio_TS folders
