PDFs to DVD with menu?

Jun 8, 2010 10:56AM PDT

I would like to be able to burn a DVD of some PDF files (or other graphics files) and have a menu front end so users can choose which files to view. What software should I use? (Free would be a plus)

Windows 7.

Thanks

Depends on the kind of DVD you wish.

If it's just a lot of data for use on any PC, something like a html-file with links to the other files on the disk would be fine. Add a autorun.inf and it will run on any Windows PC (of course, they need a pdf-reader to view the pdf's and so on).

If it has to be a playable on any DVD-player it's much more difficult. You'll need to translate all formats to something the player can understand. Let's say: convert to a movie.

maybe I'll just build it in that. No platform issues.
