My question is what tools are available to convert Xvid files to DVD while incorporating the fact that I would like a DVD menu as well. I already have a program that can convert Xvid to VOB but then what? How do I create a DVD menu then? Thanks for your help -jhackg0d
Convertx2dvd will convert files to dvd and give you a menu. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/vso_convertxtodvd_guide.cfm Files which have allready been converted to dvd format (vob) can be imported to Dvd Author Pro to provide a better menu choice. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/tsunami_mpeg_dvd_author_pro_guide.cfm
That looks like a great option. Thank you so much for your help. You're my hero. From the beginning I've been trying to use pinnacle v 9.3. The menu interface is brilliant. But when I go to compile the DVD (keep in mind these are Xvid and DivX files)... it says they will be like 300 times too large to fit onto a DVD! Ha! The files themselves are like 300 MB tops, and I'm only putting on 12 of them. This helps tremendously. Thanks again. -jhackg0d
In Pinnacle's defence, converting an avi to dvd format will result in a large increase in file size. When I convert this type of file, I limit myself to three nominal one hour episodes (45 minute tv shows)so that the output is not too much for a standard dvd disc. Typically these files are each in the 300/400MB range. I convert them singly with Convertx2dvd, then import each to DVD Author Pro. Each group of vob files into a separate track.
