Problem with menu in nero vision

enjoy

play button? where got screen pic? convertx or dvd shrink?

 

in dvd shrink.. there is a play button under the dvd structure box.. so each little folder or title in the project it shows a screnshot and plays the menuvideo. I think i messed up on the 7 episodes tho.. Each seperate episode menu has seperate videos also i didnt specify.. so it plays like random 3-5 second clips.

 

i wont know for sure if it came out how i wanted unless i burn it.. but i wil find that media player "VLC" to get a better preview of it.. I may need to redo the disc and tinker with the menus and stuff

So it has a main menu.. with a intro video i specified.. then menus for each episode.. then menus for each chapter within those menus.. Sort of confusing.. I made it without prior knowledge or manual reading of ConvertXtoDVD. Just a quick test.. sort of thing..
I wil try to find "VLC" now... for a better preview

 

kool

im not happy with convertxtodvd menu, its buggy

i type stuff go somewhere else and its gone! type again re type bleh!

so i raname files before dropping into it, that sort episodes name and i just add title name to 1 of there templates - easy.

makes life easy as i dont care much for menus been there done that, but on a few clips its needed.

 

So i like the dvd menus and everything from ConvertXtoDVD that i wanna redo a dvd i made with Nero Vision.

I have the dvd i made with NeroVision in my drive now. How do i change the VOB/IFO/BUP files on it back into their original avi's? If its possible.. Is this what they call ripping? Should i ask on the ripping forum?

 

how many episodes are there?

and can you write here all file names on this dvd in a list.

could load to dvd shrink and get each out useing edit/backup to separate folders for each...

 

Seven 40-minute episodes

So just use dvd shrink and edit/backup the files..
and that can put the avi's back on my comp?
ok i'll try that as soon as i dvd shrink disc2 epi's 8-14

Its time to learn how to use dvd shrink now

 

a dvd isnt avi its vob/mpeg2 files (no converting needed)

dvd shrink can cut start/end off each leaving middle to save/backup as 1 episode

save 7 episodes separately in to 7 folders...

(just in case shrink wants to make 2 or more vobs) go in settings untick make 1 gig chunks. so as to have 1 vob for each.

then load to convertxtodvd and make ya menu...

enjoy.

 

so its not going to convert to avi?
It wil just make 7 seperate vob files?
and i wil make the menu after with the 7 VOB's loaded into ConvertXtoDVD?

 

yes

converting = quality loss every time

 

ConvertXtoDVD make me curious to get it, but am i able to save the files to hard disk like nero vision. i dont have any good dvd-9 with me, so i want to save the project, then burn it later? if its possible, then how do you do it?

 

convertxtodvd uses a working folder you set in options

untick burn to dvd in options

 

Ok finally i got a burn... wow.. such a pain in the you know what.
The "winning formula" for me was
ConvertXtoDVD,
then DVDShrink
(which by the way, i had to shrink the actual ep's some and removing 10% of the quality showed no difference on the episode while removing a ton of mb's from the total size of the project!!)

then after shrinkage...
i used nero burning rom... oh, and a new Hewlitt PAckard dvd disc
apperently my other Maxwell brand Riteks werent working right, even tho they worked in the past.

It also helps i figured out how to open files in DVDVideo mode instead of ISOmode in nero burning rom.

Now to redo disc 1 from nerovision.. i have to reread some of your posts on ripping them one ata time or whatever

 

i kinda fixed my problem. turns out if you save it to hard disk in nero vision and open the files in dvd shrink, then the two black bars show up. i managed to burn several episodes on a dvd-r and they came out successfully.i have to test if i can open the disk in dvdshrink without the bars showing up again
