create a menu

[viperjay9]

ive searched the forums and really found no direct answer to what i want to do..

i have 2 dvd's on 1 using dvd2one and ifoedit, so i have i set of vob files that work fine, my question is how can i make a menu to select which movie to play?

I guess you would need some DVD Authoring tool

i can see that

anyone else got any ideas?

I've done several 2 movies to 1 DVDR with DVD2One (movie only) using this method.

Transcode the first movie to folder1 and the second movie to folder2. In folder2, delete the VIDEO_TS files then rename remaining files to VTS_02_X.XXX. Move all the files to folder1. Now you have a folder with 2 movies but you have to modify the VIDEO_TS.IFO file to recognise the second movie.

1. Open VIDEO_TS.IFO with IFOedit.

2. Select VMG_VTS_ATRT 'Number of Video Title Sets' = 2

3. Select VMG_PTT-SRPT 'Number of Title play Maps' = 2

4. Refresh the page and enter the following Title_2:
Title playback type = 20
Number of angles = 1
Number of chapters = XX
Title set number (VTS#) = 2
Title set Title-number (VTS_TTN) = 1

5. Select VMG_VTS_ATRT and enter the following:
VTS_2: Number of audio streems in Title (VTSTT_VOBS) = # of audio tracks
VTS_2: Number of sub-picture streams in Title (VTSTT_VOBS) = # of subtitles

6. Select the VMG Overview page and specify the audio tracks, and subtitles if any.

7. Click 'Save' then 'Get VTS sectors'.

The DVD will start with the first title. To select the second title, use the player remote.

Hope this helps.

If you want more than 2 movies on 1 DVDR, let me know as it takes a few more steps.

If there is no need to create a new menu, i.e. there is a button on one of your original menus that you want to point to the added title set, you may try to use MenuEdit to do this.

dimad,

Your link doesn't work. Place your cursor over the link and look down in your Windows Status Bar and you'll see why.

If you have a DVD authoring program (DVDMaestro) you can do the following:

Create a picture in PhotoShop or Microsoft Photdraw and make it 720x480 px. To keep it simple add a black background and use some text to identify each movie.

Demux the .m2v & .ac3 files from your 2 movies.

Start up a DVDMaestro project:
-Make sure you have 1 menu and 2 movies in the project.
-Import your media assets (video, audio, picture).
-Drag your video and audio files to Movie1 and Movie2.
-Drag your menu picture onto Menu1.
-Make 2 buttons for the text and make their actions point to Chapter1 of Movie1 and Movie2.
-Make sure Menu1 is the first item that loads.
-Also make sure that when the movies are done that they also go back to Menu1.
-Compile and burn.

This way is cleaner and more robust than hacking the already compiled IFO and VOB files.
Good Luck.
