    Hi I have a few questions about the program Avi2DVD. I have 13 MKV files that I want to convert into one DVD. In the guide it says this " However, if you have your movie on two or more files, you can open them all at the same time. Lets say your first half of a movie is your CD1 and your second half is your CD2. Name the first half 'video CD1.avi' and name the second half 'Video CD2.avi'. Now Avi2DVD will load in both halves. " . What does that mean exactlly? "It will load in both halves?" Well I tested it with two of the 13 files, naming them Video CD1 and Video CD 2. When I load one ,it shows Input As video CD 1. Then I try to load the other part and It then says video CD 2. I dont think I am doing something correctly. Am I supposed to add them into the "Add Job" Section afterwards? Or are both loaded and only 1 is displayed? Thank you. And , If you have time, I have another question about subtitles. These MKV files are in English and Japanese with English Subtitles. How do I go about inputing them into this program? Will they already be there by default? Thanks for your time

    I'm having the same problem. It burned the one file flawlessly. But, I've got 26 episodes of a show to burn and I'd really rather not waste 26 dvds by only using 1/4 of each one.

    Okay,

    You have to name the files EXACTLY the same sequentially for this to work. e.g. Movie cd1.avi (or .ogm, etc.)
    Movie cd2.avi
    Movie cd3.avi ...

    Naming them even slightly different or using 01 instead of 1 will make this not work. Also, using chapter or episode titles will negate this feature as well.

    I named them like the above example and as soon as you load cd1 (chap 1), it loads the rest in the background. You will not see it in the job que window, it only shows it under the add button, however, the GUI has a bug that makes this nearly impossible to see. I will try to pass that fact on to the program creator.
