How do you burn a "mini DVD" with a VIDEO_TS folder on a CD

[Branston]

Hi,

Saw this on the thread about the 19 minute Prince DVD here:

"This can be burnt as mini DVD on a CDR"

The question is, how? I have a Mac with Toast, and I've never come across this option. Always a shame to waste a full DVD on such a short show, especially as I have a bunch of blank CDs sitting here unloved!

Oh, and Mrs Branston has a PC, so don't worry, I'm happy to hear Mac or PC suggestions.

Cheers! :wave:

I went to videohelp.com (awesome site, bookmark it!) and found this: http://www.videohelp.com/oldguides/minidvd

edit: whoops, I assumed that talked about how to do it but is actually just *about* it. Take a look at this thread http://forum.videohelp.com/topic351113.html?highlight=mini%20dvd

If you use Nero:

Click new to make a new compilation and choose CD (not DVD).
Then, below there is a list:
CD-rom
Audio-CD
CD (Mixed)
CD Extra
Copy of CD
Video-CD
Super Video CD
miniDVD
CD-rom (bootable)
CD-rom (UDF)
CD-rom (UDF/ISO)
Audio book CD

Choose miniDVD here, the rest is the same as with regular DVD burning.

The only problem is that not all players support this format because of different disc density. So, check with CD RW before a final burn.

Thanks gang, I'll have a go later on. Cheers!

Thanks again - doesn't play in my stand alone player, but it was fun to try :wave:
