The subpicture feature with the running commentary was done by Cinram POP in Santa Monica and undoubtedly was authored using Scenarist. Extremely time intensive as all of the movement you see is individual frames. I believe you can find a similar feature on the Ghostbusters DVD

sure there are double sided discs with CD on one side and DVD on the other. They are called Dual Discs and all of the major music labels have been pushing them as the next big thing (also called DVD+ and released on a version of Blair Witch 2 several years back with the movie on one side and the soundtrack on the other). There are, however, no writable versions of these discs…strictly replicated versions.

How is it limited? eDVD will let you link from your DVD menus to the internet or any on-disc ROM content (PDFs, Word, PPT, Hi-Def video, Flash etc). You have to do it by linking to a chapter from your menu button (but that chapter can look like your DVD menu so the link appears seamless).
What is the limitation? What are you looking to do?

I think you will find that DVDit 6 is completely different than previous versions of the program. Spec wise, it is similar to Encore, but it is easier to use + the Pro version comes with eDVD for enhancing your discs with PDFs, web links and stuff. At $399 for both programs, it’s a pretty good deal..

Bob,
I appreciate your pointing out the readme issue. This is a legacy file from IA Player 2.0 that was never updated when IA Player 2.6 replaced it in eDVD 4. Should be able to correct that in the forthcoming eDVD 4.1 release. I also appreciate your pointing out that eDVD is not listed in the Pro products support area. Both very helpful.
My apologies for the inconveniences you have incurred. I am available to answer questions you may have.
Best regards,

Jack, I think I addressed this in another post. Try eDVD 4 (https://www.sonic.com/products/Professional/eDVD/quicklook.aspx).
It will let you add all of that enhanced content and it is much more reliable on PC’s…
and you are not going to have to re-author your project in another program.
Simply go into your DVDSP project and change the links that you have created
to point to movies instead of menus, output your Video_TS, import that into eDVD,
assign your enhanced links and burn your Video_TS and the ROM content together
onto a DVD-R. The whole process would take you about half an hour.
Only issue is eDVD is a Windows XP app…so you would need to have an XP computer to make this work… -
That’s not that strange. Do you have a DVD-ROM/CD-R drive, because I have found many of those to be out of spec…and they just plain crap out with burned DVDs on cheap media. My advice, choose the highest quality DVD-R media you can afford (I have found verbatim to be the best). There is a difference.

or you could create a link from your DVD menus to the high definition video file with eDVD 4 so that users won’t have to explore the disc to look for the hi-def content.

Then you would either bring the eDVD content into Encore as suggested or just burn a disc with your Video_TS, Audio_TS and the ROM content created by eDVD.
