Title: Mixed multimedia audio CD... how to?
Post by: Alluvian on July 12, 2004, 07:50:56 AM
Okay, I would like to burn a CD with 15 or so audio tracks and one video file that only shows up when run on a PC.  Is this possible?  I would prefer if the video file does not display to a normal cd player at all or else it would end up being static when played.

If this is possible, what sort of burning software would be required?  Anyone know a program that can do this that is free or has a free trial?

Any cd-burning software should be able to do this - there's a standard format for hybrid data-audio CD-ROMS.  Basically the first track is your ISO-9660 data track and the audio tracks come after.  A standard CD player won't see the data track and will just play the disc normally.

I guess I will just have to experiment with it then.  Thanks for illuminating the dimwit here  :)

Sorry I couldn't be more specific about software: I've always used the ancient Adaptec-made program that came with my old scsi burner ("Easy CD Pro").  I see on the Nero home page there's a free trial for their product, I've always heard good things about their stuff.
