No, my movies have been taken in through DVD Decryptor, then reduced in size to 2.1gig each, they r in VIDEO_TS folder as Vob's etc. Tried posting this message in Authoring Forum, but for some reason it was moved here.

Many Thanx

I've done couple of disney movie backups on 1 dvdr.. ie. toystory, toy story 2..
After I compressed them to the 2.2 gig each using dvd2one I demux the streams using vobedit program then created a menu using dvd menu studio program ( took snap shots of both movies using windvd player added menu texts in dvd menu studio) the output .psd files were inported in to maestro and burn... looks great...

In MAGIX video deLuxe 2.0, one works with “disk projects”, “movies” and “chapters”. For quick, intuitive handling, it’s important to clarify the difference between all three terms and to become familiar with the hierarchy in which they must be organized.


Disk project

A disk project includes everything that you want to accommodate on your CD or DVD. Usually, that will be one or more movies (including the appropriate menu structures). Disk projects can be saved on the fixed disk as a ”DIP” file and can later be re-loaded in order to edit movies further.


Movie

Every “movie” can be divided up into as many “chapters” as you wish.
Every “movie” can be saved on the fixed disk as an MVD file. Such files contain chapters, effects settings, cutting markers, sound material – basically, the whole movie. The title of the disk project is automatically positioned in the uppermost part of the Selection menu hierarchy, which is also burned onto disk.


Chapter

A “Chapter” is a freely definable range (a sequence, an episode, a passage, a take) within a movie. As mentioned above, you can picture it as a roll of film within a larger film box. If a movie is not divided into chapters, in theory it is made up of just one chapter. In such a case, the Filmbox contains just “one film roll”.
The breakdown of a movie into chapters is performed either automatically through scene recognition, or manually through cutting “by hand”. A movie’s chapter land automatically in the Selection menu as a secondary “sub menu” entry.

In order to achieve meaningful chapter partitioning in the selection menu, each film must be divided into chapters. This is done in the video editor with the assistance of the edit menu. Place the start marker where you want a new chapter to be set, and select the “
chapter marker” option. The blue chapter markers appear in the timeline above and are movable via drag & drop or can be deleted via the “Delete (all) chapter markers” menu option.

In a nutshell: “disk projects” contain “movies”, “movies” contain “chapters”. Movies and chapters within a disk project appear later as menu entries on the CD or DVD.
