    Hi It is probably gonna be toooo advanced for me but I want to give it a go anyway.
    I want to put 2 movies onto 1 dvd and want to put in the menu (button) at the beginning so you can click on the button for the movie you want to watch, is there a good guide? I have scrolled through numerous pages now and not found what I am looking for (although it is probably there I just dont know what I am looking for:).
    Also what are the best programs (easiest to use) I will need.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks

    All you need to do this is First a Mpeg-2 encoder Like "Tmpgenc" or "MainConcept Encoder" to encode your Files to DVD Compliant Mpeg-2 format....

    Then you have to use a DVD authoring Program Like "Tmpgenc DVD Author" or "DVD Lab" to add your Menu"s and Chapters and scene Selections which it will then Format into a "Video_TS" Folder which it then Burns to DVD or you can Burn to DVD yourself....

    If you are Trying to Fit more than 3 hours on a DVD then you should use a Different DVD Resolution or the Quality will not be very Good....For more than 3 hours on a DVD you should use the 352x480 Half D1 resolution when encodeing and authoring to DVD.....

    Look in the Guides section and you Might find something...

    I do apreciate the reply, but not the sarcasm, I only joined yesterday and as I said in my post I wasn't sure what I was looking for, and there are a lot of forums here, please forgive me if I didn't read everyone in the 4 hours I was on.
    BUT THANKS ANYWAY
