adding software to a dvd

[vtsilat]

Hi,
I have authored a DVD, and I want to add software so that when I put it in a computer, it will autostart my software, but obviously still play (the DVD) in a DVD player. Has anyone done this before? Thanks!

The only program less than thousands that I know that does this easily
is called SPRUCE UP...
When you go to output to DVD (this program will never be updated as SPRUCE is now a MACINTOSH company)you can only write to PIONEER
A03 or other 1st generation drive..
so...instead chose write TITLE SET TO HARDDISC DRIVE, by going to advanced options...there is a checkmark called DVD ROM CONTENT..
This when checked, allows you to hi-light a FOLDER that will be re-written to the DVD VOLUME ON HDD next to the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO _TS..
THEN BURN WITH NERO and ignore the error message nerogives when it see this folder and claimsthe dvd will be non-compliant..
IF THE PROJECT plays backfromthe video_ts onthe harddrive...,despite this,nwero will makea set top playabledisc..of course..you gottaq put it in a computer to use the PROGRAMS you put ion that "OTHER CONTENT"folder

So, what other programs (that can cost 1000's) will do this? Anyone know if the upcoming adobe DVD authoring package will do this? THanks!

Scenarist, I think also has ROM production capabilities. What is it going for now about $30.000.00us or so?
