Help! How hard is it to put a video on our cd? (1 Viewer)

[Andy_aurel]

We're getting ready to get our debut ep produced and would like
to stick the music video for one of the songs on there too.
Anyone done this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

It's not that hard but it took us WEEKS to find out that it was actually easy.

I'll be doing a step by step article for the things website... soon. in the meantime

• Do you have the video saved as Quicktime, MPG or something
• Do you have a good CD writing software, like TOAST.
• Compile your music and instead of "write disc" choose "write session"
• Then make a new Toast file that is you video and using the same CDR click "write disc"

If you want to have a presentation screen (like the one on the Large Mound album) it's a whole other story involving Director etc... The simpleist thing is just put a video file on there, people will work out what to do with it (like the Goodtime John album)

Thanks for the help. I'm using roxio easy cd creator. We'll probably shove a few different file types of the video on there then(quicktime, Windows media etc.)

Thanks

Roxio make TOAST too. Haven't seen Easy CD thing. I reckon mpg is the safest format if you only want to put one version on the cd.

Most PCs dont have quicktime and most macs don't have media player but both programmes will play mpg files.
