HDi for authored HD-DVD

    Assuming that it makes an Advanced Content disc and not a Standard Content disc (ie, there is an ADV_OBJ folder with a playlist already in it) then yes, you can add your own stuff to the disc. Just create your HDi menus and add the appropriate information to the playlist file (VPLST000.XPL)

    Note that you just won't be able to multiplex the menus into the EVOB (eg, have a FirstPlayTitle that pre-loads the menu) so make sure all your resources have multiplexed="false" in the playlist.

    On the other hand, if it is just creating a Standard Content disc, then you can't do anything with it. There is no way to switch from Standard to Advanced even if you are using Scenarist (that feature was removed from the spec because it was essentially useless).

    thank you for suggestion!
    Peter, what you think about DVDone tool
    DVD One from NetBlender is a first-of-kind solution for creating interactive layers for HD DVD, Blu-ray, and DVDs.

    Merry christmas at all member.

    The answer is no.

    Because you need to put a link on existing HD-DVD (inside EVO mux).
    I don't see any program which make this.
    With Scenarist HD, there is some option to link at specific postion (menu or video)
    to jump in Advanced Content when you are in Standard Content and
    in Standard Content when you are in Advanced Content.
