Making an Image drive

Bro · 20th September 2003, 00:15

I was wondering....
How do I make an image drive on my hdd, so that I can add files and make WinDVD load the files thinking it's a dvd in a real dvd-rom?

Taking 20 minutes to build an ISO image every time you wanted to add a file would be pretty cumbersome, so I wouldn't do that.

This very simple trick works for me - just make a VIDEO_TS directory off the root of your hard drive and put the files in there. WinDVD should then play from there when you change to that drive in properties.

If you have Powerdvd >= ver. 4, you even don't have to place it in the root - see also doom9's HD playback guide here.
