2 small questions about authoring with IFOEDIT

[i_j_2009]

Hi!

I've managed to make a dvd with ifoedit, I managed to change the green colour of the subtitles, add menus with "merge menu table"... but there are still 2 things I can't do. First one:

1. When I merge the menus, they work, but the audio stream of the menus is missing... I don't know where to change the settings so the audio of the menus is audible again...

2. The chapters: I don't know how to change the "cells" to set the start and end frame. I made a CELLTIMES.TXT with the time in frames (for example: 23850 - 47100). And well, it has its divisions, but not where I wanted them.

I would realle apreciate any help! Thanks a lot!!!

IFOEdit takes a celltimes.txt file with the chapter stops in frame numbers. But it won't set them at any old frame numbers, but only on I-Frames, which may be up to about half a second away from where you really want them, unless you want them on a scene change where there's usually a good I-Frame. But what you posted (23850-47100) is the wrong format. It should be:

23850
47100

Why not use a real authoring program that allows for the import of video and audio you've made for menus, ones such as the free ones, DVDAuthorGUI, GUI4DVDAuthor, and DVDStyler? I don't know anything about using IFOEdit for adding in menus. In fact, it's the first time I've ever read of anyone using it for that.

Manono, thanks for answer!

I use ifoedit because I susually use Adobe Encore CS3, but this time, I can't, because the DVD I'm authoring is from a TS from TV and Encore don't allow me NOT to transcode it, so I use IFOedit so the video is not recoded. But I have the menus made with Encore and I have inserted them in the IFOEDIT, but without sound...

I'll try again what you tell me about the cells!

Thanks a lot!
