I have been reading here about adding audio to the firstplay title screen using TMPG DVD Author with no success at all.

First I sellected a jpg and piece of a song to create a first play screen. I muxed the two togther using the dvd setting in TMPG enc.

I sellected motion menu with all boxes checked and use bgm in the TMPG dvd creator. The menu worked fine but there was no audio.

Reading again, I muxed a short video file with the audio and sellected that as my motion menu with the same resault (the menu worked fine without any audio.

Would some one please a more detailed step by step how to for creating a first play intro (menu) for TMPG DVD Creator?

I was able to get the intro jpg to work with audio using Sonic My DVD 5 easily but that program wants to re encode my MPG 2 Sat caps to full dvd (which sucks) LOL.

Is there a setting in the Sonic options that i am missing that stops the re emcoding? My sat caps are done at 352X480 mpg video and 48000khz audio. This setting allows me to fit 2 movies on a dvd.

TMPG DVD Author does a great job with these files but Sonic wants to re encode the movies to full dvd format. I really hope there is a setting for Sonic that I am missing to have it take the lower quality MPG files.

Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Jamie
