Can this be done

Hi guys,
I pretty certain I know the answer to this question, but I thought I'd ask some experts-
A director I know has a client that wants to make a disc that if you put it in a dvd player, it plays the dvd movie. But the disc contains audio tracks also that if you place the disc in a cd player it plays the audio files. I told him that this cannot be done. I mentioned him one of two options:
Make a data disc of the movie files and audio files and the client simply selects the items to hear or view on his computer.
OR
Make a DVDAccess disc that has the audio files on the disc in addition to the VIDEO_TS folder. However, do I understand correctly that even if I do that, whatever computer the disc is run on, that computer will have to download some program or 'utlity' that will allow it to read the other files on the disc? (I thought there was a hangup there somehow)
Please let me know if I'm correct, where I'm wrong, or if there is another option.

[Rick Neely]" But the disc contains audio tracks also that if you place the disc in a cd player it plays the audio files" A CD player cannot play DVD disc so there is no way this can be done.
Why not make a menu with the audio that can be jumped to and when it finishes playing the audio it jumps to the next file just like a CD would. You could also include a folder with the .aiff files in it and let the user make an audio cd if they wish.
