Linking to an executable

Is is possible to have a menu button in DVDA2 link to a program, such as a flash app? Obviously this would only be usable if the dvd were in a pc.

Yep. Got $600? The software is called eDVD: http://www.sonic.com/products/edvd/default.asp

You'll have to use something else to burn the DVD though, since DVDA won't burn hybrid DVD's.

Actually, eDVD is more restrictive than that. You can't link to an executable file with eDVD, just pdf and graphical files.

You can link to a web site or HTML files that you can put flash in.

Sorry, my bad, you are right, you can link to web sites. You aren't going to be able to launch executables directly, and those you do, would be indirect like this.

PS I own and use this app a fair amount, I just thought the original poster should know it's limitations. You can download a fully functional trial version and test it out before buying.
