What program to make menued DVD using multiple flv files

[rdfarr]

Running into problem converting over a 100 short flv files to burn on DVD. I want the DVD to have a file menu. The latter requirement is the hard one.
I can convert the files into one big AVI to make into a DVD, but they would not have menus.
I've tried ConvertxtoDVD but it can't handle over 100 files, and tried AVS Video Converter but it makes one big AVI file.

Maybe AVStoDVD might do it... not sure you can have 100 or more items on a single DVD menu, though.

Edit: According to the What Is DVD? link in the top left corner, you can only have up to 99 titles on a DVD.

Up to 99(1-99) titles with max 10(0-9) VOB files each

This is easy to do -- but it's not automated.

You are limited in the number of items you can have on a menu - 36 on a 4:3 menu, 18 on a 16:9 menu (less if Pan and Scan is turned on - then you are down to 12). You are also limited to 9 Video TitleSets, and 99 titles in total. Even if you put everything into a single title, you are limited to a maximum of 99 chapters per title.

Most point and click authoring tools simple don't want to deal with these issues, so they avoid them only working with one titleset, or only putting one title per titleset etc.

Batch convert your videos, then manually author, and you will get what you want.

If you absolutely must have all on one disc and this is for you personally and not for a client or something here is an idea you might try.

Combine sets of related clips into single clips. Then you could get down to the 99 title limitation for dvd.

Than you'd continue on to the regular creation.

An alternative to this would be to use a dvd player that plays compressed files. If it plays divx or mpeg4 or h264 than you can simply burn the files that it supports and it would be displayed as a list of files on the disc. Of course you'd have to convert the flv files to the proper format that your dvd player can handle. There would be no file limitation in this mode. Just a disc space issue whether or not you can fit them onto a single or dual layer disc. Of course you'd adjust your bitrate for the total project so that you will fit the disc.

edit - of course dvd players can't play every type of compressed file. Even if they say they play divx files they'd have restrictions. Some wouldn't play individual files that are over 2gb if they are older models.

I don't believe any standard defintion dvd player can play high def compressed files. That would be reserved for bluray players.

Something to consider would be to buy a wdtv media player or its competitors. They play off harddrives and can play just about any file type. However I don't know if any play flv files natively in file format. They'd still have to be converted to a supported format. But you could simply convert than fill up a harddrive with as many as you want and you could navigate the list with the devices internal menu system.
