MTV DVD Authoring possible!?!?!

[Trenton_Net]

Hey guys,

I have a DVD which is an MTV. It contains little music videos seperated into seperate Vob files on the disk. I re-encoded the files so now I have many m2v and ac3 files ready for authoring.

Currently I use IfoEdit. Is there a way to somehow load these files in one at a time so that when played back on a DVD player, it plays MTV 1, MTV 2, ect, without making the whole thing one big movie file with chapters?

For VCD format, all I did was make seperate mpgs and drag them in the order I wanted. But for IfoEdit, it seems you can only import ONE video for mastering? How can I add a second title, or whatever to put another set of vobs in?

Thanks,

Some of the more basic authoring packages only allow you to add 1 title. To add multiple titles you need better authoring software, something like ulead DVD workshop will do what you want.

I also interest for this.
I haven't yet find a way (or an autoring proggy), allow me create lists the way you can do them for svcd/vcd and nero.
When you have 40 - 50 videoclips (1/2 D1 resoution and an average of 2000kb/s is about 40 - 50 videoclips per DVD-R disc!) it is not practical (or easy to navigate) using thumbs (6 thumbs per screen with unlead media studio)
What I wish to do is to make a boot screen with 3 or 4 choices which when I select one of them, a simply catalogue (with no graphics, only text) appears, with the song names to choose what I wish.
I found a way in doom9 guides, including photoshop layers, but it isn't the best way, expecially if you have thousents of videos to burn (I am a videoclip collector, that is the reason I start with this hobby the first place).
What would be a good solution?

Is there any which dosn't force you to make a menu to have multiple items? Something like a CD with simple tracks which play in order?

Which Authoring Software will do this, and dosn't force you to re-encode your sources?

You can do this with DVD workshop and you don't have to have a menu. Each video file you add is a title which is different to a chapter within a title. The problem is, some DVD players cannot navigate through titles with the next and back buttons. So if you don't include a menu you may find that you cannot navigate to the title you want to, the only way to get to it would be to enter a time on the disc, or let it play through.
