Video / Photo disc combo?

Can DVDA create a DVD that has:

1. The video content, playable in a DVD
2. A folder containing still images that can be accessed by a computer (such as photos)?

If so, can someone outline a brief overview on how to do it?

Yes. Go to File > Properties. There, find and select the Extras Folder setting. (Where it is depends on the version of DVDA you're using. In DVDA 5.0, it's a bit over halfway down the list on the Disc Properties tab and in the "DVD-Only section.) There, browse for the folder on your computer that contains all of the files (images, etc) you want to include on the disc. DVDA will copy those files to the DVD.

Note that with DVD Architect you must have already created the folder and put the pictures you want (and nothing else) in that folder. DVDA only lets you specify an existing folder to use as-is.

This is in contrast to most other burning programs that let you create folders on the burned disc while setting up the disc's contents and pull items from all over your hard drives to put in them, without having to gather them together into a hard drive folder first.

Is this something that is done commonly?

I am making a DVD for one of the local high school sports teams. I shoot their video and photography, so I want to include the images that I don't use in the DVD for the parents to be able to print, if they want to.
