Hi, im very new to dvd burning so im having a whole lot of troubles. Ive gotten to the point where i can take files from my computer and throw them on a dvd to work in my dvd player, but im having a ton of issues figuaring out menus. Ive recently aquired some episodes of a tv show that im trying to put on dvd. They started out as RMVB files. So i converted them using Winavi to my Audio_TS and Video_TS folders. In the Video_TS folders im showing the following files VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_0.VOB VTS_02_0.BUP VTS_02_0.IFO VTS_02_0.VOB and so on. Now when i burn it to dvd it'll play in my dvd player but as expected if i try to go forward through the episodes (changing from the beginning of one episode to the next) it'll just skip every few mins of that episode till i get to the end and stop till that episode is finished. At that point it'll start the new episode and do the same. What im looking to do is create a very basic menu so i can choose which episode to watch or make it so i can skip from episode to episode just using the forward button on my remote. If someone can help me with what software id need and exactly what steps they think i should take id greatly appricaite it. Thanks
The best way i know to create a menu is use a good authoring software. try using SpruceUp or keep them unconverted and use Nero Vision Express with Nero 6 DVD burning Rom. NVE3 will allow you to custom make a menu
thanks for the reply. I ended up downloading spruceup and converted to mpeg2 but now im getting an error when i try to import the video. The error message i get is "Error in the System Header - Information in its component elementary streams may be corrupted. Fatal import error. Signifies a parameter not supported within the DVD specification. Indicates the file cannot be imported, and must be re-created compliant with the DVD specification. This error most often happens when importing a .vob file (which are not supported for import by SpruceUp)." Anybody got somethign else i can try or know how i can fix this and still make it work in a dvd player?
I got the 30 day trial of dvd lab pro ($200.00) and discovered it is a phenominal proggy. More than I'll ever need. But if you want great menues, its the way to go. Was pretty confusing getting started though. The manual has 269 pgs.
Thanks for the tip, i ended up finding out the resolution wasnt one that i just had the wrong resolution size. Now im using TMPGEnc and itll import the file fine and i can make basic menus like i wanted.
