How to add .pdf files to a DVD for saving to a PC later?

[Raniburger]

Hey Guys,

I've made a DVD for my local football team (in Premiere Pro/Encore), but would also like to include all of our weekly newsletters which are in a .pdf format. I think I can create a menu in Encore to view them as a slideshow on the tv set, however I would also like to be able to preserve the original .pdf file for downloading onto a PC. I've noticed that when I create the DVD in Encore, the image files get lost somewhere inside the .vob files. Can I have a separate folder within the DVD structure that can store the original .pdfs?

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks

Yes. The VOB files goes in VIDEO_TS, so just create another folder called NEWSLTRS or something and stuff them in there. You MAY want to include a README.1st and also put Adobe Reader installer on there as well.

OK, thanks for the advice. Can I do that in Encore do I need to do it with another program?

Use encore to produce your DVD structure on your HDD. Before burning, add the extra folder at the same level as the video_TS and audio_TS folders. Drop your pdf files and anything else you need into it, then burn as normal.

Slight aside... That's why I like VCDEasy. It shows you the structure of the VCD before you burn it, and you can add stuff as you see fit.
