DVD-Rom Content won’t load
-
It must be me but I’m missing entirely what you mean here. When I burned the ISO file that Encore created, there was no MUSIC folder and no PDF anywhere to be found on the DVD. Something else I just noticed actually is that Encore didn’t put an AUDIO_TS folder in the image file either.
What do you mean by “put the folder in a parent folder, then select the parent folder for your ROM content in Encore.”? parent of what? Are you saying that the ROM folder needs to be in a certain place in the root directory of the drive I’m working on? Can you provide an example?
F:\projects\project1\MUSIC\ (and this folder contains the PDF)
The folder where the .ncor project file is located is:
F:\projects\project1\dvd_work\project1.ncorAre you saying that the MUSIC folder needs to be a subfolder of dvd_work.. As you can tell I’m super lost here..

[dax702] “Something else I just noticed actually is that Encore didn’t put an AUDIO_TS folder in the image file either.”
You don’t need an AUDIO_TS folder unless you are authoring to the DVD-Audio format. Encore authors to DVD-Video only, and DVD-Video requires only a VIDEO_TS folder, not an AUDIO_TS.
Parent folder = containing folder. In other words, if you want to add a file to the ROM content, you put it in the folder, and then choose the folder in Encore for the ROM content. If you want folder1 full of files to be added to the ROM content, you put folder1 inside folder2, and choose folder2 for your ROM content.
Capisce?

Nope, still does not make sense and I’ll tell you why. I have written specific instructions on the inside cover of the DVD for customers to access the ROM content. Basically just telling them to go to Windows explorer, explore the DVD drive, and click on the MUSIC folder and the PDF file is in there.
The first thing you said is exactly what I did originally: “if you want to add a file to the ROM content, you put it in the folder, and then choose the folder in Encore for the ROM content.” I have one file that I want in one folder called MUSIC and it did not work, there was no folder or PDF anywhere on the finished image/DVD.
Then you went on to say “If you want folder1 full of files to be added to the ROM content, you put folder1 inside folder2, and choose folder2 for your ROM content.” Does that only apply if there’s more than one file? You’re saying that I need to have the MUSIC folder inside another folder if I intend to have a bunch of files in the MUSIC folder, right? What if I just want the one PDF? Also, what would I call that parent folder? Should I call them both MUSIC?
This is what I NEED to have for the final DVD
D:\
MUSIC\
VIDEO_TS\Sorry I’m having a lot of trouble understanding this..

It’s very simple:
On your PC, put ‘MUSIC’ folder inside another folder named ‘ROM’ (it could be named anything).
In Encore, select ‘ROM’ folder as your DVD ROM folder. When you build a DVD, the structure will look like this:
DISCNAME –
MUSIC
VIDEO_TS -
Maybe this represents the path better:
DISCNAME
+ MUSIC
+ VIDEO_TS -
Ooooooooooh ok, now it makes total sense now. Thanks! Does it matter at all where the ROM folder is in relation to the project file or it could be anywhere?

Oh, one last thing; I have to do three DVDs with the ROM content, for this first one, I went ahead and used PowerISO to just add the MUSIC folder to the ISO and burned it, it played fine in my tabletop player so that one should be fine (I don’t want to transcode again), correct?. Odd thing was that the ISO with the ROM content turned out to be just a bit SMALLER bytes-wise than the ISO without the ROM content. Don’t know why that is, but again, it worked fine in the player. But for the other two, I will try what you said about the parent folder.

Just wanted to say thank you for helping me with that ROM issue. I did the 2nd DVD today the way you described with the parent folder and it worked famously! The MUSIC folder and PDF is in the ISO file =)
