DVD-Video with Data Inclusion

[Axvon]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a DVD-Video disk with some extra documents (PDF in this case) included on the DVD disk.

What I am trying to find out is whether such DVD would play in any DVD/BD player despite of having a few minor data on the disk (i.e. AUDIO_TS/, VIDEO_TS/, and Doc/? All I care is playability (sic) rather than compliant.


Sincerely,

mkisofs (part of the cdrtools package) can do what you're looking for.

I do have the proper video and audio DVD folders and format. I am just trying to see if I can augment a few data files to the whole thing and still be able to play the videos (not the data) in the DVD player and have the data available for computer.

What does converting the whole thing into and ISO do? Doesn't it maintain the same structure after all (a structure that includes the data)?

Create a folder named DATA and place your PDF files in it.
Load your VIDEO_TS folder in ImgBurn FIRST, then add your DATA folder.
Burn.

Thank you. Can I do the same with Nero Burner? Create a new DVD-R session and copy VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, and DATA?

Why? ImgBurn is 100x better than Nero.....and I just made a disc like this a few days ago so it is confirmed that ImgBurn does this easily.

Yes, no problem.

Alright, thanks guys.

I just dumped the DATA folder along side VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS in Nero, and my DVD player and another Blu-Ray player, both managed to play the videos just fine.
