DVD authoring - can I add PDF?

[mheitzman]

Hello! I am new to this forum and am hoping that someone can help me. I am authoring DVD with DVD architect and I was asked to put PDF files onto DVD... is it possible? If so, how do I do that? I use Vegas 7.0 for editing.

Thank you so much!

Yes, you can do this, although I can't tell you how to use these specific tools. Basically just create a directory at the same level as the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories and call it something like DOCS and put the PDF files in that new directory.

Thank you jman98 for your advise. I did try your advise but burned DVD does not recognize (show) the DOCS folder in the directory..... Any advise on this?

I believe a dvd player only expects to find video content, try opening the disk in windows explorer and see if the folder is there, double click on it to see if you can access the pdf files.

Hi SWBisbee! Thank you for your advise too. Yes I did try opening the Disc in windows explorer but didn't find the folder which contains PDFs....

I would use Imgburn (freeware) to burn, choosing the root folder containing AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS, and DOCS folders.

It would appear that the tools you are using did not really create the directory. You'll have to find another way. My suggestion would be to create the directories and then burn with something else such as the suggested ImgBurn.
