DVD Authoring Application Without Re-encoding

[icemanatvcd]

I have tried TMPGenc DVD Autor and DVDLAB for DVD autoring with mixed results.

Are there any othere good DVD authoring apps which do not reencode DVD complient files? I want try something different.

I hate the fact that DVDLAB takes too long, it demux and then remux the same files!

TMPG DVD Author does not seem to do menus in 16:9 ratio only 4:3, with very little flexibility.

Thanks in advance.

DVDLab can accept VOBs and doesn't demux them AFAIK - you sure you didn't get the question asked when you added them to the assets window ?

I did but the problem is that it creates audio synch problem if I don't. My source files are DVB mpeg files.

Ah - I'm seeing a lot of posts about various Mpeg types.
I think the whole mpeg spec is a little messy and causing difficulty.
Have you tried demuxing and then a simple re- author with IfoEdit.
Try and get a program to check out the streams delay etc. That might give you some clues....

Maa the problem is that TMPGenc DVD Author did not have problems with the same files! This app is too simple.

Adobe Encore author without re-encoding. I have been using it for the past 2 months and despite all the crticism I have read about it, I am pleased with it.
No problem to report so far.

In that case I suggest you post a Bug report to the DVDLab forum so that the Author has a chance to sort out the bug.
Its a great program but also a one man show.
TMPenc / Author has much more experience with mpeg due to thier history of encoding.

Hi there,

try Ulead DVD Movie Factory 2 ("Filmbrennerei"), it does optionally no reencoding.
