Some background: I made a DVD using Windows DVD Maker in Windows 7, and would like to have the videos that are on it be playable on a standalone DVD player (which the DVD Maker program handles), but also have the HD-quality x264 files on the disk for viewing on a PC.
Basically, when inserted into a standalone player, it should load up the menus and all that jazz. When in a PC, the files can be taken off just like a data DVD.
My plan is to burn a test disk with DVD Maker to get the standalone portion (menus and TV-viewable videos) onto it, create an ISO with ImgBurn, then open the ISO in 7-zip (EDIT: or ImgBurn) and dump the x264 files into the "root" of it. I'll then burn the modified ISO to another DVD with ImgBurn.
Will this plan work, or am I way off? It's 1 AM here, and I just did an extremely quick Google search to come up with this so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.
(I also need to make about 60 copies of this DVD. I have 2 burners in my desktop; is there a way to utilize both of them?)
