Video and Data track DVD

[DarthGery]

I'm working on a project to make a DVD with the photo's and video from our last group voyage.

I've got like a 30 min video footage, and about 2500 pictures, now I would like to create a DVD which can be played in all normal DVD-players, so you can view the movie on the DVD, but I would also add the photo's to the DVD so you can watch them on your computer (or maybe even on your dvd player if he can read JPEG files)

is this possible?
Any tips/hints are very welcome!

Yes. Author your disk as normal for the video. Write the results to your hard drive. You should get at least a video_TS folder, and probably an audio_TS folder as well. The audio_TS folder will be empty. That's the way it's meant to be.

At the same level as these folders, create a new folder, called pictures (or data or fred - it doesn't really matter). Put your photos in this folder.

You should now be able to burn the lot to disk as a DVD Video.

I don't know what you burn with, so it may make life harder for you. But it really should be that simple.

Good luck. Let us know how you go.

Normally I use DVD-lab PRO to author my DVD projects, and Copy to DVD to burn the images, but I was looking in DVD-lab, and the burning facility inside DVD-lab makes it possible to add extra files or folders, exactly what I need.

So I tried it out with a little piece of video and some pictures, and formaated a CD-RW as mini DVD, but my DVD player gives "regio error"

That sounds weird as I looked and the DVD should be region free.

In the computer WinDVD plays the DVD just fine.

iDVD will do this. Hope you have a Mac.

Use DVDLab Pro, set up the movies as normal, then add a slideshow with your pictures.
Then it will be viewable on standalones, whether they play jpg or not.
