Authoring type 1 isn't that much different from authoring a classic DVD.

DVD Video and HD DVD content just sit on the same disc but they are independent!

As long as the file system is UDF 1.02 and the media is DVD-5 or -9 this disc will run on regular DVD Video players and the Toshiba HD DVD player.
Note: This disc does conform with the DVD Video spec. but not with the latest HD DVD specification.

OK,
If I have standard dvd content (VIDEO_TS folder), can't I reference it in the ihd playlist (xpl) and add an application section to a title
This would be a nice feature. Such a disk can be inserted into standard dvd player as well as into hd-dvd player. And the hd-dvd player will provide richer content.

What about current version of iHD-Simulator Will it process such folder structures
What .xpl file should look like

HD DVD supports "Standard Content" which is basically the same as normal DVD but with hi-def video and a few extensions (like more colours for your sub-picture). So you don't really need to do anything.
If you want the snazzy new menus though, you pretty much have to start from scratch. Someone may come out with a tool that takes normal DVD metadata and puts it into the XML Playlist format (can't be that hard) but I don't know of anything at the moment. You'd still have a lot to do though just coding the menu system in iHD (or taking a template and filling that in).
