Not with Encore alone. You should give Sonic’s eDVD a try.

No. It supplements Encore by performing a task that Encore can’t do yet.

I don’t know if you finish your Encore project first and then bring the DVD folders into eDVD or vice versa. If they have a demo you should try it out.

It actually works very easy, very intutitive.

You create in encore you menus. Button 1 links to videoA, Button2 Video B. Button 3 you want to link to a outside source, say a webpage, pdf…. You create a button, then link it to a blank timeline.

The next step is to create a DVD Folder from Encore. Then open eDVD, after picking your video.ts files, it will have a pulldown for each button in your menu. Select the button, then just follow the pulldowns to establish what you want to do.

After that all you do is burn the DVD and voila, DVD-Rom. The only drawback is that you need Interactive Player to access the DVD rom features. For computers that don’t have this, it will install upon being put in the DVD drive, but some people get all freaky about stuff like that.

Thanks John

Is the DVD burnt in encore?

[John Cuevas]

It can be.

There is a place to link in the burning section to the files. Or you can use the Nero software supplied by eDVD to burn it. Both ways work equally well.
