I have alot of divx movies on my hard drive that i want to put on dvds. I can get 3 or 4 movies on a dvd. I want to have a menu come up when i put the dvd in the drive to launch each individual movie. Has anyone done the same thing? I have gifs of the dvd covers that i would like to use for the menus can anyone help?
why do you want to do that. if they are divx, then you need a computer to view them. You cant put a divx disc in a standalone and have it play. you need a computer with the software code to play the divx movies in which case you dont need the menu screens.
Well to make a DVD of DivX movies you have to convert them to MPEG2, and you have to know that you cannot fit 3-4 movies into one DVD or the quality is going to be poor. You can fir up to 2, and these not long-lenght. Have a look at this guide, which includes creating a menu: http://users.auth.gr/~ichatzim/tmpegenc.htm
I have a computer connected to a sony plasma which i can view dvds and divx movies played with both power dvd and zoom player so i dont need to convert the divx movies i just want to archive them on dvd+r and have a menu on the disc so my wife doesnt have to navigate to get to the movies thru windows explorer or the file menu of zoom player
i have to disagree with the above.. i have managed to get 3 divx on 1 dvd-r without quality loss... rambo 1,2 & 3, and i made a menu for it.... my sis also has films with 3 on and the quality is excellent....
nobody here is understanding my question I want to know how to make a menu for the disc what menu creation program do people use? a nice easy one please!
I understand thatyou don't want to convert the movies to play in a standalone, and that you want to burn the DivX files to your DVD-R as data files. I've never heard of anyone making a menu for what is essentially a data disc in the same sense as a CDR that has multiple DivX files on it. I would personally be happy with opening the Windows Explorer on my desktop, as this would display the contents of the disk in a sort of "menu" style. But good luck searching....
think this is the kind of thing your looking for im looking at doing this myself to play in my xbox which is a nifty and very quiet divx player http://www.indigorose.com/site/index.php heres the link neway
You want to play the DivX in your PC? http://users.auth.gr/~ichatzim/launcher.htm Not what you are looking for but if you edit the html a little to put all films there you are OK, after clicking play now a menu will come up to ask which movie.
