Greetings, this looks long, but it's really only simple and detailed.
I want to burn IMG files -OR- VOB files that are around 400-500mb in size to a DVD-R disc. One -OR- the other file formats are fine, I'd like to be able to skip chapters, but not sure I can with IMG files?
So basically this is the process I've done so far and I want to use Toast to burn these files to a DVD-R disc so it will play on a standard DVD player. I am aware that certain DVD players play certain formats, I've read that everytwhere.
Here is an example of mpeg-2 movie sources that I've used and want to eventually burn as seperate chapters on a DVD-R disc:
MPEG-2 to IMG FILE(S):
ingenuity.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> ingenuity.IMG (CHAPTER 1)
car.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> ingenuity.IMG (CHAPTER 2)
house.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> ingenuity.IMG (CHAPTER 3)
-or-
Several MPEG-2 files to one big IMG file:
All three mpgs from above --> split in ffmpegx as m2v mp2 files --> sizzle --> one big mother IMG file (4.4gigs)
-or-
MPEG-2 to VOB FILE:
ingenuity.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> a VIDEO_TS folder with one chapter VTS_01_01.VOB
car.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> a VIDEO_TS folder with one chapter VTS_01_01.VOB
house.mpg (my original MPEG-2 source) --> ffmpegx --> a VIDEO_TS folder with one chapter VTS_01_01.VOB
(I'll post this into ffmpeg forum too): ffmpegx will only encode a VIDEO_TS folder with title 1 chapter 1 ONLY for each mpg file have. I need a SECOND chapter for my other movies if I want to do the VOB route. Asking major4 the same question he suggested using sizzle to create one big IMG file as mentioned above with all my mpg files, then burn a DVD-R to toast.
My main questions:
How do I get a DVD player to recognize several IMG files as chapters on a DVD-R disc? What would be the menu drop down item and file structure in Toast?
What would be the menu drop down item and file structure in Toast to burn this 4.4gig IMG onto a DVD-R?
How can I create several VOB files (seperate chapters) in that process above, I'm open to a new process as well.
