Can Vegas Do Multi Media CDs?

Good Day All,
I'm putting together a CD of my mom singing childrens' songs. I also got her on video doing one of the songs. I've put together a timeline with all of the songs and placed CD markers at the head of each song.
What I'd like to do is also put that video on the CD as well. So the CD should be able to be played on a standard CD player (car, home stereo, etc), and, when placed into a computer, play the WVM as well.
Can this be done in Vegas? or should I re-work the lineup to do in Nero?
Thank you.

. .I've given this some thought . . .make it easy for yourself & others too! : make two items :-

1: A "Mom Singing" CD

2: A Combo VCD/SVCD/DVD . . I think you know your options here . .yeah?

I don't see a "mixed" platter playing in a CD player with WMV . . could be wrong, been wrong on many many occasions . . I can take it!

Grazie

Well, what made me think of it is a CD that I have that ddid just that. And, allthough I haven't done it before, I'm told that's what "Mixed Mode" is in Nero.
Thanks for the thoughts, though.

Yeah, I got Nero Express .. kinda SE version . .It works, but needing a "bought" encoder for SVCD stuff . alomng the lines you speak of - I think - meant I just walked away and decided for an easy life .. But, I could be very wrong and making "mixed" compilations specifically to be played on a CD player as well as the other platform you want, may be possible .. yeah?

I've recently played VCD and SVCD and DVD stuff on my portable play BUT it refused to play any WMV encoded stuff. I suppose this makes sense. That's why I was advising caution in considering a "one-size-fits-all" approach to something that may not be possible - that's why you asked the question, I know - to something that would be easily got round by producing a delivery media that would . . er . .delivery, and with little headache . . yeah?

I'm looking at a glinting pile of WMV stuff I just can't play on any of my standalone players, CD or DVD . . . .

Grazie

Grazie,
you've missed the point! For sure no CD player will ever be able to play WMV9, if it could would they call it a CD Player?
The idea is though that you can create a CD that you put in a CD player and it plays the audio tracks as per normal.
But you put the same CD into a PC and up pops a menu,
Item 1: Play Audio tracks.
Item 2: Watch band making CD.
Item 3: Play a game
Item4: Send the band an email
Item 5: Join their fan club

And yes it can be done and there are some serious applications that handle the authoring and yes the top flight ones cost a bit.

And this is something I've got to get into because of the damn BBC whose been selling them and now my clients want me to do the same kind of job on local content.

Er . .Bob?

Our chum said - " . . and, when placed into a computer, play the WVM as well. "

. . and you say . . "Grazie, you've missed the point! For sure no CD player will ever be able to play WMV9, if it could would they call it a CD Player? "

What point did I miss? I think I was saying that he could expect to play the WVM stuff .. this I meant to be the files rendered for WMP, meaning WMV . . so, pray, what wrong end of what stick did I unfortunalety grab hold of? WMV stuff "crooks" a playable CD . . that's all, nothing more nothing less . . So, our setups: "And yes it can be done " wont be a good enough platform to author this "multi-media" - including Mom's CD player option. My "ham-fisted" suggestion was only to layout the "present" options with Vegas . .which he asked for . ..

. . oh yeah the CD player thing ? . . Think I got that one sussed some time back .. but thanks anyways ;-)
