Mutliple Movies, No Menu

[Jae187]

My uncle recently made a dvd that has several movies but no real menu. when u put in the dvd, my dvd player lets u pick which movie/file to play from a list not an actual menu. i was wondering how do u do this. ive been trying everything dvdlab pro, spruce up, mastero. i dunno if he burnt it on dvd+r or dvd-r but i would like to do that instead of spending 40-50 mins making menus for 2 svcds i encoded. Any help Please? Thanks

If i'm correct, what you want is a mini-menu that's not at all fancy but just so you have the option to select which movie you wanna watch....right??

Well...what i did was use the program call TmpgencDVDauthor....It will actually make a menu for you tho cheap it's useful when you just need a menu to select which film to watch.....

yes ill take a "mini menu" but what i was looking for was a list generated by dvdplayer, but ill try urs. i have that but dont use it much because it seems like it really restricts the user. thankz

I wouldve called that little list where you get to choose what movie to play a Menu.

What did your uncle use ?
If it was several movies it was more than likely Mpeg1 videos Authored with something like TMPGenc DVD Author.
A DVD player doesn't generate a list , it displays a menu off the disc , surely.

Some players can play raw MPEG files
They just display the file list as a menu.
Nothing special is done to the files - no authoring

but i dont think it was a menu from the disc because it used the same font and colors that my dvd player uses to show info it even changed when i picked different color. i dont think it was a raw video file because i have an cyberhome 500, which doesnt support (only 300 model does).

If that is so, then Foo's answer seems most probable. I have an Apex that will show a file list of raw MPEGs and allow selection.

yeah my dvd player does it. its just the dvd navigation that pops up. it really depends on the dvd player. i dont think alot of dvd players play raw dvd mpeg iso's, some play cd mpeg iso's.
