Several of the projects included in Pro-Pack 2 show you how to use the DVD@cess function in DVD Studio Pro to create a self-contained hybrid DVD that plays web pages from the ROM portion of the same DVD disc on which the video is contained. Other projects show you how use the DVD@cess function of DVD Studio Pro to link your DVD Video to almost ANY page available on the World Wide Web, or available for your Browser to open with any available helper Application.
Please note carefully that the URL syntax is VERY particular for each different function, and you MUST enter the URL accurately in order for the function to work properly.
Links to local pages should specify the filename in a complete path:
NOTE WELL: Note the THREE slashes in the OS 9/Win protocol
only TWO slashes in OS X protocol, but you MUST add the
"/localhost/Volumes/" into the URL link for OS X to "read" it.
DVDSP2: Note that @cess can NO LONGER BE USED ON A TRACK but must be attached to a MARKER INSTEAD - no problem - just move your @cess link to PG1 (Chapter 1) instead of the Track itself.
DVDSP2: Note that @cess can NO LONGER BE USED ON A SLIDESHOW but must be attached to a SLIDE INSTEAD - no problem - just move your @cess link to Slide 1 instead of the Track itself.
In DVDSP2, @cess still works the same for Menus.
These local page links can be very effective in creating Hybrid DVD discs for industrial use, training, or distance learning. The files requested will be browsed form the DVD disc itself, when these local file links are embedded into the URL field of a DVD@cess link.
It works the same in DVD Studio Pro 2, as it does in DVDSP 1.
Links to Web pages should specify the filename in a complete path:
http://www.recipe4dvd.com/index.html
Please note that to effectively utilize this feature, you should be aware that the URL or filename cannot contain an underscore character (_), nor can it contain a simple space character “ “.
Later versions of DVD Studio Pro (1.5) have fewer limitations.
Version 1.5 (and up) of DVD Studio Pro allows you to point to a folder containing the DVD-ROM files, which will be included in the final DVD.
