Apologies for the blank post. What I was going to say was go ahead and use
DVDA to create the files but don't burn them with it.
IOW, when yo're done, click "Make DVD" and then "Prepare DVD". This will
create the VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS folders on your hard drive. Then use
Nero/Roxio/RecordNow to do the actual burning as a data disc.
BTW, do you know for sure that your DVD player will actually play a miniDVD?
If not, go to http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers and select "mini/cDVD" in
the Video Formats area to find out.

Ok, .. I suppose that'll work. Is there a particular profile/setting
I should choose in Nero when burning DVD data to a CD-R disc? I
distinctly recall having ended up creating coasters using this
approach in the past.

Thanks,

I use RecordNow (and it works just fine) so I can't say. Maybe someone else
here can help out.

It will all depend on your player.
For Nero Burning Rom

TMPGEnc DVD Author recommends using the UDF/ISO and
the "Force DVD-Video compatibility mode" box checked.

In my case I use a straight ISO mode so that the menus work
with my player.
