Forget the fact that its a mad thing to want to do - But,

Can you encode a document to a dvd.
What I mean is can you take a pdf, word doc or even a plain text file and from that create a DVD - With a video_ts folder and IFO files and Vobs etc - So that the document could be viewed on a dvd player ?

EG: By creating a Slide show, or maybe displaying seperate pages of text as seperate chapters - or by creating a set of dvd menus that displayed a document.

Imagine I had a portable DVD player and as many discs as I wanted, and I wanted to listen to MP3s (No Problem), Watch Movies (No Problem) and I also wanted to read a manual or book that was a word document or a pdf ?

can This be done and how would you approach the task ?
Nb:- A dvd player isnt the best tool for the job, but can it be done ?

It wouldn't be too hard. Just take DVD-Lab Pro 2 or Ulead DVD Workshop, and make a menu for each page of the document. You can set the background of the menus, and then have buttons on the menus that will go to other menus (like another page, etc.). Shouldn't bee too hard. Just basic BMP conversions, and all that.
