![]() This markup of menus is truly a property of the current titleset.Ĭurrently it's done as a property of the menu. This means that whilst that titleset is 'playing', the special-purpose buttons on the player will jump straight to the nominated menu if pressed at any time. Additionally, any menu can be nominated as the 'title' menu, 'subtitle' menu, 'angle' menu or 'audio' menu. AFAICS, it backs up some of what I claimed above, and more so.Īny menu in a titleset can be nominated to be the 'root' menu (i.e entry-point for the video manager). I found a bit more info in the dvdauthor 'man' pages. Right now, I'm not sure you can even do such a thing! ![]() Moving a clip from one titleset to another would just be a case of "cut" it (ctrl-X would be nice) from one titleset tab, change to a different tab and "paste" it (ctrl-V would be nice). After all, it isn't valid for a menu in one titleset to access a menu or a clip in a different titleset, so why have all those inaccessible things visible whilst working on a given titleset? You'll notice I'm sure that if you adopt a scheme like this it will also reduce clutter in the current single "contents" panel. (I'm sure you experts can say immediately which properties currently offered as "menu properties" belong to the titleset itself) I'd suggest that the properties include at least:ģ)Which menu in the titleset is the 'root' (i.e the one which the video-manager can get to).Ĥ)Maybe which menu of the titleset is the 'title' page - not sure about this. That way, a right-click in the whitespace of the tab (or maybe in the little sticking-up tab label thingy itself) would let you twiddle with the properties for whatever that tab is handling. Might I suggest an alternative? Currently all the vmMenus, menus and clips being used in a job appear in a single "contents" panel below the main menu-editing screen.Ĭhange this single "contents" panel to contain a set of tabs, one each for the video manager and each of the titlesets. Currently, if you try and do this you get informed that any such change will affect all menus in the titleset, which rather gives away the fact that the current mechanism is wrong! I will continue using ImgBurn for its ease of use (the humour, when a simple error is made) also the help and advice I have received.Currently, some of the 'attributes' of a menu that can be edited by right-clicking the menu actually refer to the titleset itself (or the video manager in the case of vmMenus).įor instance, the setting of the aspect-ratio of a menu. It's been a long journey and I have learned a lot in respect of authoring and burning, (although the original issue still bugs me). The main video content being only 1hr 28mins which I had to reduce, using Quick Media Convertor- DVD Format HQ, to 1hr 22mins, plus shrinking the titles, for the project to fit the DVD-5 disc.There is much more to this saga, but beyond boring and too much to relate. In ImgBurn, the total project size was 4.4GB. Due to the inclusion of a short intro video, menu's (the total of these being 700mMB according to DVDshrink) plus the video clips. Assuming the best way forward, at the time, I cut the video into segments which were then imported into DVDstyler for authoring (using this programme, was an education in itself but I managed it with a little help from friendly people such as yourselves). I include the following, not for any particular purpose, just for information really.įrom the ouset, I imported AVI clips into my MvP editor then exported as mpeg2. Thank you all very much for your input and assistance. I hope the above is a reasonable explanation. Again authoring was ok but it still would not fit the disc and that is why I had to convert and shrink in order to succeed. So, as opposed to the first example, this time there is just the whole movie and the 3 menus in the 1 Titleset, the VGM being as before. Next, upon advice given, I imported the complete movie, without cutting, into DVDstyler and created chapters from this. Whilst the authoring was ok it was too big to fit a DVD-5 for some obscure reason. In the VGM I put my intro in Menu 1 with Scene Selection and Play All buttons in Menu 2. With regard to the Titleset reference, if your familiar with DVDstyler authoring programme, initially I cut the edited (MoviePlusX5) movie into 14 scenes and imported these into DVDstyler, together with 3 menus, in 1 Titleset. I haven't yet tried the more straightforward way suggested but I will, and see if this makes a difference. I misguidedly thought it preferable to compress the AVI files to mpeg2, prior to importing the project into the authoring programme as the total project size of AVI is substantial. In thanking you for your responses, I must appologise for the delay in this latest post.
