    Hi there i hope im on the right forum, what im attempting to do is make my own Rocky dvd, if any of you are familiar with maximum dvds Childs play Dvd, he has put the 4 films on one dvd and made it as such that when u put it in u can select any one of the four films from a menu so what i would like to do is put as many rocky films on one disc as i can and create a menu where i can select which film i would like to watch, so if anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful.

    The first thing you're going to need to consider is getting the movies small enough to fit on a DVD together. You can do this with a program like DVD-Shrink, but it's a much better idea to resize to half D1 (352x480 for NTSC or 352x576 for PAL) and re-encode with a high quality MPEG encoder to get better quality. I'd recommend trying CCE (SP or Basic), Canopus ProCoder (full version or Express), MainConcept, or TMPEGenc. If you want free software you could also go with HC or QuEnc. If you have questions about this process I'd suggest posting them in the MPEG encoding forum (http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/40).

    If you have any questions about requirements for DVD compliance I'd start by reading the FAQ at the top of this forum and then ask any questions you might have in this thread.
