Does anyone use this program? can someone help me 1 on 1 with this? Id like to make a dvd that has different menues. 1ST Menue: play all episodes 2nd menu it will list the different episodes then a back to main menu option or continue to next menue option and so forth until all the episodes i fit on the disc are done. Can someone help me out with this? Id really appreciate it.
Do you have DVD Lab or DVD Lab Pro? They are both very similar. What your trying to do isn't a major project and once you do it the first time, the next will seem easy. Make sure you have enough free hard drive space. At least 10GB free to work with. Start by importing your videos into the asset area. Use the DeMultiplexing options. Save your project (give it any name you want). Post back when this is completed.
well i tried to import them into the asset area but it says their is no assets here, so i assume their in the wrong format?>
It will only utilize files in mpeg format. If they're AVI or some other format, you'll have to convert them first.
id really appreciate it if u could install that im service, it would make things smoother, especially since afterdawn doesnt load all the time. Im loading the files into dvd lab pro but alot of them are coming up with GOP Errors?
GOP errors are somewhat normal. They can be ignored as they will be fixed when you compile the project. As for the IM, I think it would be better to do it on the forum. Not only will others get to see it and be able to learn/help, but it would be archived for the future. If there are specific questions that you don't want seen, you can always PM me.
well im loading them in as assets now what, i started what i want the menu should look like on another program before we started all of this, whats ur email so i can send it to u and u can tell me what u think. But whats the next step now.
Demuxing is demultiplexing. Seperating the video and audio streams into two different files. At this point, you should have a mpv and an ac3 file loaded in your assets. Confirm that this is what you have.
Drag the mpv file to the Movie. It goes in the larger area. The AC3 file goes right below it. Waiting for the menu sample at the address I PMed you. At this point, we're ready to add chapters and work on the menu. Save your project at each step. That way if a mistake is made, we can go back to the previous one.
Which large area? their are 2 on the upper right and 1 at the bottom which all of the files are in currently.
ok so drag each episode into the movie area, and the corresponding sound file into that box? and then what?
