Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see how any CD player could read two different formats at the same time (or even how you could create such a disc ). You can make multi-mode CDs by using a program such as "CD Plus" (now "CD Extra") but the two modes are not simultaneous.
P.S. I just read your whole message instead of just the header question. I thought you were talking about a CD, but I see you meant to say a DVD. Perhaps another poster familiar with DVD technology can answer your question.
To add with Arnie & Beekeeper, click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 8-100. You may find the articles interesting and helpful, also links to additional sites.
Best Regards

You could try using Windows Movie Maker. I have made couple of slide show/movies and it wasn't to hard. The Windows Web site has training on Movie Maker. It is all drag and drop.

Thank you so much for your help. I created a project on WMM - 62 photos and a 10min piece of music. Managed to synchronise the timing, and use fade transitions.
The project looked & sounded really good on my pc, although when saved in video mode it looked much more shaky. I now have to convert it from wmv to mpeg so that I can burn it to cd. I will download the encoder tmpgenc. Hope it all works - I'm no expert at these things.
I saw an advert for 'xoom photos on tv', and it was quite cheap - wondered if it would do the whole process including saving it in mpeg format - or is my existing software good enough for a few photo projects? I am concerned about the finished quality - but I'm no conoisseur and it doesn't need to be perfect.
I don't need software for videos as I don't have a video cam, so don't want to pay more for software that I don't need. I am only interested in producing photo slideshows for friends and family - on CD as I also do not have a DVD burner, at the moment.
Hello again. Well at the risk of sounding really stupid - I have downloaded the encoder, but I cannot find it in my programme files even though this is where I saved it! Even if I find it I won't know what to do with it. Please don't tell me I'm stupid - I'm doing OK for a 60-year old who has not been brought up in a high-tec world.
Larna, those are not "sub-files." That id the path to the file that you have searched for. For example: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\file xxxxx. If you double left-click on the search result you want it should open the file or program you searched for. If not, simply write down the file path and then navigate to it using Windows Explorer. Post again if you need more help.
Thanks for replying. I didn't explain very well - I did a search for the programme I had downloaded to encode my wmv video to mpeg, and I did left click on it. That was when I revealed a list of 'sub-files' or 'files' or whatever I should call them. Anyway, I have tried clicking on each and every one of these files, and eventually a wizard opened up. It was not altogether clear what I should do at each stage, but I managed to get through it almost to the end, choosing my video for conversion - but I got a message saying 'Can't load P3Package.dll'. So I am stuck again, and can't find any answer on the supplier's website. There must be an easier way to burn my video.

Thanks - I already did that, and it found the programme, but it still didn't reveal where it is located.
When I clicked on it, there was just the usual list of sub-files that mean nothing to me, and I don't know what to do next.
