    DVD-Video & DVD Rom

    Can someone please help me. Im using impression to author a DVD video but i want to be able to have PC data on hte same DVD.

    DOes anyone have a proper way of doing it so a setop dvd box will play the film as a normal dvd but on a pc you get the film and th data.

    Ive tried writing it in Nero and the pc one works but then the Settop box says bad disc.

    Is there a tutorial that someone knows or an easy way of doing it.

    Thanks

    if your using pinical impression you should be able to put your extra data in the extra folder.
    dvd set top boxes look for the video ts folder and thats all they see on the disk...
    dvd roms are usually on computers with dvd playing softwear. this softwear will look for the video ts folder and play the contents regardless of what else is on the disk. therefore the user if they explor the disk will be able to acess the extra data.
    dose this help?

      1) Use NERO in "DVD-Video" mode

      2) FIRST (It is critical that this be done FIRST), place all DVD-related files (.IFOs, .BUPs, .VOBs) in the RED "VIDEO_TS" folder

      3) Then place all PC-only related data in the root directory (or create an "Extras" directory containing these items - and place the "Extras" directory in the root directory)

      4) Burn

        in nero I set it to dvd and dont bother with the video mode I go to udf mode.
        then just put the video_ts folder on the blank dvd.
