Files such as ISO or IMG and folder structures such as VIDEO_TS or BDMV are generally referred to as "disk image" formats because they're basically "cloning" the structure and content from a DVD or Blu-Ray optical disc. Such formats are not supported by the Sony PS4 (PlayStation 4). Simply put, these formats just don't fit into the idea behind the PS4 ecosystem. They hide content behind built-in menu systems.
