Anyway to load pdf's as reference files to accompany a video
Using VS10+ and have created a video from an mpeg file with chapters that correspond to slides in a PowerPoint presentation (saved as a pdf). The video quality is not so great, so you need the slides to understand the presentation. We also have some pdf's of journal articles (authored by the presenters). Can we put the video and the pdf's on one DVD? We want the user to see and navigate through the pdf's while he's watching the video on a corner of the screen. Even if this is not possible, it would be good to be able to tell my manager, so I stop trying to figure out if it's possible. The only thing I can think of is to put the pdf's on a CD, but then most people don't have both a CD and a DVD drive available to them, usually just a CD/DVD combo. In summary, I have my VS10 video plus 2 or more pdf's. Thanks for any suggestions, or even a response that I'm out of luck.
I think it's possible, but I've never tried it, and I think you will need some other "data burning" software like Nero or Roxio to use along with Video Studio.
The idea would be to create the normal AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders on your hard drive, instead of burning them onto an actual DVD. And, then copy these folders along with any other files & folders onto a DVD. I believe a DVD player (and DVD-player software) will simply ignore everything that's not in these DVD-specific folders.
- When you get to the Burn screen, check the box that says Create DVD Folders, and un-check the Burn Disc box. That will create the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders on your hard drive.
- Now, burn those folders onto a DVD along with the PDF files. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you'll need your 3rd-party software for this last step.

As a last resort, you could ask the user/viewer to copy PDF from a CD to his/her hard drive before playing the DVD.The only thing I can think of is to put the pdf's on a CD, but then most people don't have both a CD and a DVD drive available to them, usually just a CD/DVD combo.

Hello Susan,
I'm doing some time Trial presentations for attorneys, and I always using Visionary (free software). You can upload images, video and documents into this software. Video MPEG1 format, but for presentation is working great. If youn need more information please send email. Also you can use Microsoft Publisher, WMedia encoder 9. Please feel free to contact me.
