Adding software application files to DVD video

jnfrlove · Post by **jnfrlove** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 10:20 pm

I made a 40 minute video presentation of my company's release notes for the new update to its software. I am burning the DVD with DVD Movie Factory6. My boss has an idea to include the software's installation files on the DVD. How do I do this?!? Do I first burn a DVD and create iso files? Then what do I do, click on the files to copy these onto another DVD? Is this where I have the chance to add the installation files? (which are 55MB)

If anyone knows the answer to this, I would really appriciate the help. Thank you!!

You use the same method in MovieFactory as you do in VideoStudio and add a personal folder to the disc as outlined in this link:

This is great information, thanks!!

I created a DVD folder with the AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS folders therein. Now, do I launch DVD MovieFactory again to create a data disk, adding these two folders along with my application files to the project?

Thanks!

The Personal Folder option is shown with the Burning Options. You will need to re-burn, or re-create an ISO file.

There is probably more than one way to do it, but you might have trouble with the actual DVDs if you use the Create DVD Folders option, because the folders might end-up in the wrong physical sequence on the DVD. (The ISO file contains the sequence information, ans it's probably the safest way to go since you are making multiple DVDs.)
