Question for tpgo?

Thank you much for the Sizzle manual on how to burn DVDS.
Now a question: Which is better IYHO, authoring and burning
DVDs using Toast 6, or using Sizzle 5b1?

With Toast, you can throw pretty much any file at it and it will generate
compatible MPEG 1 files, and create a DVD, not very pretty or navigatable
( options to going to the next segment of a DVD in a DVD made up of say,
4 MPEG-1 files, are not permitted). I know that I'm still waiting on Henry to fix
the bug in Sizzle on the no more than 8 chapter buttons in a chapter menu option,
which in a one video title dvd, is a hassle, but Sizzle is has a more elegant interface,
and with a little PS work, you can design a decent splash, and menus.

what is your ( or anyone's, for that matter) opinion on this?

You mean tgpo?? :P

I prefer Sizzle. I like being in control of what my DVD will look like, Sizzle allows me to have much more control over my files than Toast does. It also goes to say that I prefer DVDSP to Sizzle, but when you want a good looking DVD in a small amount of time on no budget, Sizzle can't be beat.

Sorry tgpo for the misspell, hadn't had my morning coffee.

I will follow your tutorial sir, and see if I cna't make another
go at Sizzle 5b1, even with the Chapter bug...

thanks for your input.
