Adding chapters while keeping menus

[marksk918]

My daughter's dance school produced a DVD of their show from December and only put two chapters on the DVD - Act I and Act II. Each act is almost an hour long (I'm looking forward to meet the idiot who produced this). I'd like to reauthor the DVD and add chapters to each act. I'd like to keep the motion menu so it only goes to Act I and Act II, but I'd like to be able to add chapters so I can quickly manuver through each act.

I ripped the DVD using DVD Decrypter but I don't see the menu to use in re-authoring. I looked through the guides, but couldn't find one that would help.

thanks!

is there a free way to do this?

if not, can i take the rip and just author it as any other dvd?

Start off by saying I haven't tried this, But there are settings in VobBlanker for adding chapters as well as PgcEdit.

Otherwise if you don't want to spend any money, & keep everything on DVD you'll have to either use a trial of something like Redo, or actually re-author the DVD using freeware tools or software trials.

TO reauthor there are several choices available -- TDA seems extremely popular. Read the guides and threads to get ideas of what to use and how to do it.
