Probably a dumb question.

If I create a small video in DVD format, inside a VIDEO_TS structure and - assuming it would fit - burn it to a CD (CR-R / CD-RW) disc, and play it on a DVD player?

Would this work at all? Would it work on SOME DVD players? Would it work in PowerDVD or the like?

I'm aware that I could convert it to SVCD or etc., but I am specifically asking about having it in DVD structure format.

I know I could just try it, but I'm sure someone has tried this before, so I just thought I'd ask.

^^^ agree.

Nevertheless:

Well, it depends on the (so-called) "device".
I had an LG DVD-player and it accepted CDVDs without a complaint.
I had a Pentium-4 with Windows XP and also no problems with VIDEO_TS folders recorded on compact discs.

OTOH, the DirectShow DVD-navigator that ships with Windows 7 was designed to reject CDVDs...
