DVD-Video and DVD-ROM on same disc ok???

[Milton]

Hello guys,
I've just created a VIDEO_TS structure for a DVD I have just authored. I would also like to include DVD-ROM material on the same disc. This consists of an executable file (.EXE), a number of resource files plus an AUTORUN.INI file pointing towards the .EXE file.

My question is whether I can include the ROM stuff on the same disc without creating any problems for the DVD-Video part. If both can be put on a disc, what part of the disc will a PC launch if used in a DVD capable PC: the Video or the .EXE programme?

Any pointers would be most appreciated :)

I can't claim to have ever done this but have seen commercial DVD's that do this. When placed in a PC the autorun feature is executed. If you want to watch the movie you have to manually launch your DVD plaayer software. In a standalone DVD player the extra files are ignored and the DVD plays normally.
