How do I include wmv to a dvd with mpeg2?

[Jensen]

I am using Sony Dvd Architect 4.5, I also have FAVC, DVDFLick, and IMGBURN. I want to burn a dvd of my friends daughters performance. I would also like to include a couple videos for the phone, or computers. I would like to put it all on one disc. Just curious how to do this. Thanks

Create your DVD as normal so you have your video_ts folder and audio_ts folder. At the same level as these, create a new folder called Extras (or whatever you like) and put extra files in here. When it comes time to burn the DVD, open Imgburn and select Write File/Folders to Disc. Browse for a folder and select the Video_TS folder first. This tells Imgburn that you are burning a DVD Video disc. Now browse for the Extras folder. Burn the disc as normal and test. The Extras folder will be ignored by standalone players, but be visible and accessible on a PC/Mac/Linux box

I would produce the Extras first so you know how much space you need during authoring.

Your saying use img burn (build mode) to put the extras folder in? Or DVD Architect? I dont think space will be a problem considering the mpeg2 clip is only 6 mins long. Im assuming I cant take mpeg2 + ac3 and make vts folders?

Author your DVD with DVD Architect (or FAVC - whatever works for you), and output the DVD structure to your HDD. This will give you your Video_TS folder, and perhaps the Audio_TS folder, although it is no great loss if it is missing. Then create your Extras folder in Windows Explorer, then burn the lot with Imgburn.

Makes sense... Thank you. When I make the extras folder do I put it in the vts folder? Or when I build just include it?

[guns1inger]

I usually keep it all together to make it easy to see what's happening. E.g.

DVD Folder
--->Audio_TS
--->Video_TS
--->Extras

You should not change the content of the Video_TS folder unless you know what you are doing.

success !! Thank you, that was easier than I thought.
