DVD video on CD?

[dxj40c]

Is it possible to burn short DVD .vob files onto a CD-r and have it play as a DVD in a stand alone player? It seems this would be useful for recording music videos where you want high quality audio .AC3. I know someone out there has tried this and I'm too lazy to try it without knowing how to get nero to burn it. I've tried the svcd route but am unhappy with the audio (and the video).

I suppose the player may have trouble reconciling the dye layer color with the data. And I suppose that the burning program (Nero) puts some code (determined by the CD type you have to choose) on the cd. What kind of problems am I up against, or is this a lost cause? Maybe it can be burned as an iso and manually create Video-TS and Audio-TS file folders. What do you think?

miniDVD is what you want and there are guides here on how to do it. Your player needs to read the miniDVD and be able to spin the CD fast enough for the transfer rate. I did try it myself recently. I used the authoring program (Ulead DVD Movie Factory) to create an ISO image rather than the usual video_ts folders and then used Nero to burn the ISO image (so it didn't care if it was a DVD or CDR). That worked okay. You have to try yourself to see if it works
