My goal is to use thr bittorents client to grab a source and do the simple things for a grab from another medium captured to file. It would have a start stop menuing system and (possibly or if necessary) a chapter mode which would show a frame of the chapter to allow for non sequential viewing or simple spot checking of the duplication. My expereince so far has been only with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. Shrink shows the vob files which would become the 'chapters'. If there is an intro text or magazine article, I'd prefer that. But my question in here is on doing the authoring job. Is there a program that takes the hour plus of torrent information and creates what is needed for a dvd as one would normally use it?
as a junior member you should know that to get an answer you need to search.Here i'll point you in the right direction. At the top of the page click on the guides section and then scroll down to the re author guides.
Use Tmpg Enc to encode the video file you download. Encode it to Mpeg2 (DVD) - PAL / NTSC Then, once the file is converted (takes from 1-3hrs), Use tmpg dvd author to add chapters/menu, It'll make the mpeg into .vobs then you just burn them to dvd.. Works a treat! Dan
@ danbhn: are you happy with this time frame.You might want to change your encoder to one that only solely converts like mainconcepts mpeg encoder or winavi or even vso divx to dvd.The encoding time can be as low as 1hr per 700meg file.Batch encoding is also available. Then use your tmpgenc dvd author and nero etc to finish the project.
I have TMPG on here someplace and looked through it a bit. If _anything_ took only 1-3 hours for an hour of video I'd be relieved. I'm holding off on doing any more burn attempts until I get a new motherboard and cpu. New cpu will be a Celeron D 2.93mHz on an X-caliber board with 512k mem stick. It's a bundle that Tiger direct has. I've noticed that a prog like DivX plays an avi file pretty jagged as well... must be slow hardware.
