Correct. You need to create a DVD Video disc using the 'slideshow' function of the DVD spec or an MPEG-2 video stream containg a series of still images edited to the music. Adobe have a new DVD authoring app coming in Summer called Encore http://www.adobe.com/products/encore/main.html Whilst the same physical DVD Video disc can have the PDFs in a ROM partition on the drive (which can be accessed from a PC) you cannot view PDFs on a DVD video set top box ... but conversely you CAN view MPEG-2/DVD video within a PDF in Acrobat 6 providing the computer has a DVD-Rom drive and MPEG-2/DVD playback capability. I don't think you can even buy a PC with a CD-Rom drive these days can you ... ? dean laffan r e a l w o r l d p r o d u c t i o n s 6 7 l i t t l e g e o r g e s t, f i t z r o y m e l b o u r n e, a u s t r a l i a 3 0 6 5 home/office +613-9419-3966 Mobile 0418-525-315 -- The graduate with the Science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
