Author a MPEG stream on a CD?

[OliverTomlinson]

Heres the situation.

I have converted my Home Movie DV streams into fully compliant DVD streams. Is it possible to simply copy the Video_TS folder onto a standard CD* and have it work in a standalone DVD player?

*I do not have a DVD writer.

That would be called a Mini-DVD, or cDVD. If you do a search through the dvd player list on this site you can see which DVD players can play this very non-standard format. Unfortunately I can probably count the players on one hand.

You may have to break down and buy a DVD writer to get hardware playback of your movies. Either that or you'll have to convert to one of the more supported CD based formats like VCD or SVCD.

Thanks adam, much appreciated. *thumbs up*

I have a Philips 634 and the DVD list says that MiniDVD hasnt been tested. I shall try that later.

If that doesnt work, i shall try compiling a DATA CD in Nero and burning the VOB's to it- I read a review that said that worked
