Some people like to edit the 'CAB' files to include the cracks so the game will already be cracked for the install but I've always preferred to just add a folder for the Patches, Cracks and Updates etc.
That way it keeps the created DVD in its original (or as close to it) format. Then if you Re-install the game months or years later you wont have to worry about getting rid of the updated files, which you added to the DVD, just to install the latest Official updates etc.

If you do include a Cracks/Patches folder then You only have to install the game then update it using the latest official update. Then patch it with the NoCD Crack you added to the Cracks folder.
(NOTE: In most cases if you install a new official Update then you will need a new updated NoCD Crack!)

In most cases you can swap the original game exe for the 'Cracked exe', so the cracked exe is installed during the installation but this can sometimes backfire on you as you will need to replace the original game exe to install any new Update Patches!

And remember most times the game WONT PLAY from the DVD you create so you will still need a NoCD Crack to Play!
The DVD is only meant to be a backup and used for an easier install!
