The DVD spec is exacting. And the Sonic authorcore (same as used in th= e top end Scenarist and also in Encore) was unforgiving. And this caused dif= ficulty when importing assets that were not to spec.

 

Some of the o= ther authoring applications did not allow for keeping imported assets that w= ere actually to spec. Or did not allow the un-multiplexed assets (eg. m2v, w= av, a3c) to be brought in separately.

Yep, tracking entirely. That was the reason for my origin= al question.  Otherwise, it's just a data disk which doesn't need any s= pecial software.

You can store any data on the latter, including any digital video file, b= ut whether it will play from the disk depends entirely on the device.=

The former uses an Mpeg2 file f= ormatted in a very particular way (a VIDEO_TS file), such that the DVD will p= lay on any dedicated player.

Hope this helps.
