Adding DVD-Rom content?

How would I go about adding DVD-Rom content to my project?

I'd like to include scripts, screensavers, winamp-skins, pictures, mp3s, web links, etc. which could be accessed in a separate folder.

Question #2 - How do I add Jacket_P support for Jacket files?

My guess (will this work?) - is to prepare the DVD, leaving enough room for the desired DVD-Rom files, and then adding the files manually to the prepared DVD-Rom folder prior to Burning. Would this work?

Prepare using DVDA, then burn using Nero or something similar. DVDA doesn't yet support the burning of hybrid DVD's (it won't pick up the other material in the folder, only the required files in the VIDEO_TS folder).

I had the same question on how to add DVD-Rom content.

So if I use Nero, do I just create a directory w/ the extra files, etc. as a peer folder to the VIDEO_TS folder? Or do I put it inside the VIDEO_TS folder?

Whe I burn the DVD, do I just tread it as a data DVD, adding the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to the root directory of the DVD?

Thanks,
Kurt

VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders will automatically be created when you specify a new "DVD Video" in Nero. Simply drag those two folders from your prepared DVD folder to your compilation root. From the "File" menu of Nero, you can create any additional folders you desire and copy data files over to them. I made a folder called "EXTRAS" and put my screensavers, winamp skins, posters and scripts into it. Make sure you do not exceed the volume of the disc (take this into consideration when authoring your DVD project in DVDA). Do not copy extra content into the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders, or it will probably not allow a burn; only certain sorts of files can be in there.
