Just a thought until the Adobe fanatics show up; I use the burning
application that is incorporated into TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6
(TDA) to burn data DVDs, as well as video DVDs. With TDA,
if you select a folder that isn't a VIDEO_TS folder, the writing
tool will ask if I want to burn a Data DVD. Perhaps Encore
can also, burn data DVD like my $50 Authoring program.
Luck;
Ken
