Video & Data on one DVD

cmcdonald wrote on 6/5/2009, 8:40 AM

Using VMS Platinim 7 and DVDA is it possible to render a video slideshow, burn it to the DVD and then also include a folder with the individual jpegs on the same DVD?

I have made many video slideshows but I have nevere tried to include data files too. I would want the DVD to simply play when placed in a DVD player but be accessible from a computer if people wanted the photos. Can this also be menu controlled or would it have to be a simple "explore" function?

If this is possible, can someone give me some simple directions? Thanks

Chris

Yes, it's possible. You need to point the 'Extras' folder to the location of your stills. You can find this under File>Properties.

Excellent!!! Thank you so much. That is exactly what I was looking for. I never knew about the extras folder option.

For what it's worth, this and a number of other "hidden" features are in my book, available on Amazon. ;)

Can this also be done in VMS6 and DVDA3?

Is there an "Extras" option under the File menu?
