Well, I do have 2, 3 or more small movies, laid as VOB+IFO on my HDD. What I need is a "bloody stupid" application to create a small and simple menu (background + icons for each movie) that launches one of the movies. At the end return to this menu. I am aware of many applications, but all of them require remuxing (even worse, TMPGenc DVD Author unnecessarily reencodes the material - without warning, at least in versions higher than 2, that's why I'm still using the old 1.5, when needed).
Hi Ghitulescu! Here is the procedure I do in this case: 1. Create a menu with TMPGenc using dummy movies (short black frames are sufficient). (Ok, I create the menu with MuxMan, muxing background and subpicture, but TMPGenc works too of course.) 2. PgcEdit -> File -> New DVD 3. PgcEdit -> File -> Import title 1 (and 2 and 3 etc.) 4. PgcEdit -> Menu -> Import menu in VMGM domain 5. Correct button commands if needed 6. Correct and add VM commands if needed 7. Save Thats all... The movies remain untouched (no de-/remuxing, no reencoding). goonix
----------------------------------------- From Codeman in the picture rating thread:
A very simple and easy solution is 1) DvdShrink to combine your movies in a single Dvd in the Author section, without compression 2) TitleWriter to make a simple menu with the option of chapter and setup menus
I'm not an expert. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were asking for. I assumed that your movies were in separate folders In DvdShrink, I would go to Re-Author Then in the Dvd Browser, open the first folder and add the title to the compilation (double click or drag-and-drop) and repeat the procedure for the other titles. If your titles are in the same dvd, yoou can just add the title 2 and the title 5 to the compilation, to take your example
TitleWriter doesn't even touch the vobs of the titles. IMHO it makes nice menus considering how quick and easy it is to use as everything is pretty much automated.
I couldn't manage to make TitleWriter work. Again. I browsed again the net, and I've found this GUI for PgcEdit and DVD Styler -> - its author said he had the same problem and no answer, therefore he designed this little proggy to do this simple job: a menu for DVD where the clips/movies are already present. I'll have a test run towards the week end.

I use DVD Styler (as manolito suggested earlier in this thread), but it insists on re-encoding my titles, which unfortunately strips out any Closed Captions. So I trick DVD Styler by using a dummy VOB (a short, unimportant video clip) for all of my titles. Once DVD Styler has generated the VMGM menu, I use PGC Edit to replace the dummy VOBs with the actual VOBs.
Unfortunately DVDAuthorGUI is one of the few authoring apps which will not work with the PgcEdit trick. Reason: DVDAuthorGUI cannot create a video manager menu, it just creates titleset menus. Cheers manolito
