    Hybrid DVD - is it possible?

    Hello everybody, how are you?


    I'm interested in making a special DVD disc and I would like to know if this is possible.

    This DVD I'm thinking about would contain both a movie and a interactive presentation (such a flash .EXE minisite). But I would like it to behave like this:

    If the DVD is inserted in a DVD player it should be recognised as a very normal DVD disc. It would have a tradicional DVD menu and a simple movie.

    But... if the disc is inserted in a computer's DVD-ROM, instead of being recognised as a tradicional DVD-movie disc it should autorun this Flash presentation (where latter the user will have access to the movie).

    This means that depending on the enviroment (DVD player or computer DVD-ROM) it should be recognised differently (as a DVD movie or as a multimedia disk through an autorun task).

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance,

    Fabio.

    Certainly.
    You need to check sites about hybrid DVDs.
    To get you started, if you have a VIDEO_TS folder in your DVD root, it will run as DVD video. At the same time, put your Autorun.inf and whatever you need to run as a DATA disk and it will do it.

    Good luck
