Add Cover Art to my DVDR?

[hech54]

I found this post but I'm not clear on how to do it.

I assume I can't just put my .jpg in the AUDIO_TS or (especially)VIDEO_TS folder?

Create a separate folder from the root and put your filees in there.

Make an "ARTWORK" folder (all caps, less than 8 chars) and dump in there. I notice DVD-Video can get pissy if you do lowercase and make it long, so just play it safe.

[hech54]

Do I put the folder inside one of the other two or make a seperate one?
Sorry...I'm pretty computer smart normally but I slept through Computer Basics 101....

[ROF]

A separate one from the root. Follow the all caps suggestion too.

[hech54]

AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
ARTWORK

Root meaning the DVD itself correct?

[ROF]

correct.

never thought about that, but i may start going this route myself on some of my stuff....pretty good idea actually that way if you create your own coverart/disc art/whatever else, and it ends up getting damaged through whatever reasoning, it's on the disc itself and would be relatively easy to just go and reprint....

[hech54]

correct.

THANK YOU...

Tried it a few minutes ago...works well. My Prassi Ones will only burn the VIDEO_TS folder so I used ImgTool to make an ISO image of all 3 folders...burned with DVDDecrypter and presto...

This gets me thinking, I suppose "anything" can be thrown in there? eg mp3s? wavs? What about cda's?

[guns1inger]

Pretty much. I have put pdf files, mp3s of audio tracks from concert videos, even applications. ConvertXtoDVD has an option to include the original avi files after a DVD conversion

Thanks Gunsl1nger, that's cool to know, I'm wondering though if a DVD can be popped in a CD player and play songs, then taken out & popped in a DVD player and play movies? Impossible? I thought so.

That ConvertXtoDVD prog sounds pretty damn handy, I'm gonna buy that one.

[guns1inger]

Most players don't give you the freedom to select video or music. If it is a DVD, they will play it as a video. The music has to be played or copied on a PC.

Impossible. Unless you know of a CD player that isn't a DVD player and plays DVD media.

[mattso]

Yes, stupid question. Sorry!
