SVCD onto DVD (really!)

[Dakky]

Is it possible to create folders on the DVD medium just like they were on the normal CD? I mean, if I convert my movies or music videos into MPEG compatible format (VCD or SVCD format!) and then make ISO DVD with Nero + creating files and folders just like on normal Video CD ? Folders on DVD should be somethink like this: CDI, EXT, MPEGAV, SEGMENT, VCD . In MPEGAV should be previously converted music videos into .DAT files. In VCD folder should be files ENTRIES.VCD, INFO.VCD, LOT.VCD and PSD.VCD. I think those files are generated by Burning program when burning VIDEO CD. But as Nero doesn't allow to create VCD burned on DVD medium, it seem I'll have to do that manually. The result should be - 40-50-60 music videos in MPEG2 (or even MPEG1 CBR) quality on DVD, playable in normal VCD/SVCD/DVD player.

Another option is AUTHORING DVD (I know, this should be in other forum!) from previously created MPEG2 files although I didnt find any easy way for doing that. Also, all those music videos I demultiplexed into .m1v and .mpa files, and those should be somehow burned or authored although I don't know how!

Thanks,
Dakky

Welcome to the forum dakky.

Although there may be some player that exists that will play a dvd with a svcd directory structure, i wouldnt count on it. you will have to author the dvd. DVD Lab is my favorite for that since it will burn svcd resolution mpeg2 files in the compilation. just make sure you put only svcd on one dvd and mpeg1 onto another (dont mix) since dvdlab only makes 1 vts (you can have multiple movies/videos in that vts).
