*****Previous thread said this is not possible (question down below) if it is please let me know, if not, i got my answer thanks!





This may not be the thread to ask this questions but I'm not sure where to ask it.

I am doing a video (DVD) for a friend who's son has passed away. I would like to put music he liked on the dvd so people could also pop the dvd into a cd player and listen to the music he liked. I'm sure this is possible, just not sure how to do it. Can anyone help me with this?

You will need a drive that can read DVD formats Like a dvd rom drive a cd/dvd combo drive dvd standalone player....
Sorry and that how it is.

i think you might be on the right track LTR, but even if authoring the VCD in that manner were possible (i've never done it myself or even heard of it), such a disc would still require at the very least a VCD player.

Looks good, but there must be a better way...

From what I read, the CDDA tracks are an OPTIONAL part of the VCD 2.0 specification - and it seems, not widely supported in authoring software.

Looks like they are not supported in SVCD, so the constraints for this approach are that the project is limited to VCD quality, and to 80 minutes (maybe 90/99 if the extra long media is acceptable to recorder, software and player) of video and CD audio, with any audio used in both parts being present twice. VCD Stills would take up less capacity, but high quality stills with soundtrack are yet another tutorial.

This is NOT a DVD, but with luck and a fair wind, it should play in a VCD capable DVD player, or in a CD Audio player (though if it doesn't automatically ignore non-audio tracks, it could be a nasty noise if you play them - and potentially damaging to the tweeters in the loadspeakers if played loud)
