Whats in the pipeline?

[2Tents]

Hey ChrissyBoy - just wondered what was in the pipeline for this great app...

[ChrissyBoy]

Well I am working on various Addons to the program...

The first wave of addons include:

DVD2MPG: An advanced version of VOB2MPG where you can extract chapters or titles, choose audio streams etc but the main advantage here is that it will overcome the dreaded vobid change that plagues other "extractors"..

MotionMenus: A component which creates motion menus for SVCD2DVD and actually allows you to replace the menus in already authored SVCD2DVD DVDs with a motion menu...

PAL2NTSC: a simple wizardlike conversion of a PAL DVD to a NTSC DVD

Batch Manager: a batch manager...

I am maxed out at work at the moment but will be taking some timeout soon to focus on these... They are already written but need a fair bit of polishing up...

PAL2NTSC: a simple wizardlike conversion of a PAL DVD to a NTSC DVD

That would be very popular.

Looking forward to the batch manager

Any new news about the Addon programs ?

[mr nice]

Yeah baby yeah I look forward to the new add onns when they happen how about auto chapter selection just push a button and it creates the chapters for you.

[Jikchung]

how about auto chapter selection just push a button and it creates the chapters for you.

You do know that chapters are available already?

[mr nice]

No I didn't know, how do you do this?

[k_vic]

Open SVCD2DVD.
Select Preferences and Settings...
Under the Process group, select Other
There you will find Chapter Point Frequency. Use the drop down list to make a selection for frequency of chapters.
Then click Save as Default Setting to apply this change to all new projects or Apply Setting To This Project only.

Good Luck.

Make a menu like this, were you click next to select a scene from the episode instead of watching the main menu. I did try what you said but nothing happened apart from it telling me to save my project.

[Jikchung]

You can't do a chapter menu (yet). But if you set it up properly the DVD will have chapters inserted that can be accessed using the chapter buttons on your remote. You cannot yet specify chapter points except by regular time intervals.

[mr nice]

Maybe chrissyboy could add this option in the new version of svcd2dvd?

[mr nice]

Any news on when the new version of svcd2dvd will be ready?
