Combining data files with a DVD movie on the same disk

[j_p]

I have been trying for ages to find a way to add some data files (HTML, pitcures, javscript files) on to a disk along with a movie. I currently have the movie on a DVD-R and there is enough space for the data files. But I can't find any software that will let me combine DVD video with ROM data and burn them onto the same disk.

I'm a newbie, so please speak slowly! Can anyone help?

What dvd authoring/burning software are you using now? You can in for example nero burning rom choose to create a dvd-video and add the video_ts to the video_ts folder and then add the data files to another folder.

Whjat a great thing it is to know what you are talking about! You are awesome, thank you Baldrick

Only one problem remains - the new DVD I've created has a label which has truncated my desired 22-character Volume Label (which I had entered into the correct field prior to burning) to 15 characters. Is this a limitation of Nero Burning ROM?

PS I had been using Roxio but have had many problems with it on all kinds of issues.

I believe that's a limit of the type of file system you are using. But you can select Level 2 which allows 31 characters. However some players may not be able to display them all.

Great - thank you Redwudz!

Ahh .. just saw this sites guide to video structure.
So the concept is that if all video files are in the video_ts folder, then the DVD player is happy. All other files can simply be read by a PC.

I have been wanting to do the same thing, except want to do this with the Sony VRD-MC5 burner, and put JPEG's on before I finalize .. I doubt it will let me. Any comments?

No, it won't. However you can always write to a DVD RW, then bring it back to your PC, copy the Video_TS folder to your HDD, add a data folder full of jpegs, then burn the lot as discussed above.
