Yes, if your two mpegs have the same properties (aspect, resolution, type and number of audio streams...), it can be done.
How to do it (best) depends on what kind of menu you want for these two mpegs. The most simple case: 1 Start button, play both mpegs in sequence, no intro. Just switch of "Use Titlesets", set start action to show menu, end action to next movie. Drag the first mpeg to the menu background, name it "Start" or whatever, drag the second mpeg to the menu background, kill the text and put the button in the overscan area.
For more complex menu structures, tell me what you want... -
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. My ulimate goal is to not have menus. I noticed when I load two mpegs into Tmpgenc DVD Author I get one continuous track without menus. I am using Gui for DVDauthor because I can batch author. What do you think?
Also, I was wondering if all the dvd players out there would have a problem jumping to the second track after finishing the first one without the help of a menu. My dvd player doesn't seem to have a problem. I ask this because TDA gives a warning about that if you don't use a menu. Hmmmm........Nothing is impossible for DiLeMmA says so!

...but if you author them as 2 parts of the same title, there's no need for a menu to navigate, 'cause there's nothing to navigate between (if you don't want chapter navigation menu).

Using Gui for DVDauthor you will also get one continuous track if the above restrictions are fulfilled. Use the settings: No Titlesets, start action=Play movie, end action=next title.
If you don't like to have a menu, you may simply skip it:
Author with the "Create Batch" option. Open the author.xml file with a text editor. It should look like this:
Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <dvdauthor dest="C:\Filme\Volume1"> <vmgm> <menus> <video format="pal"></video> <pgc> <pre> { if (g1 eq 0) { button = 1024;} else { button = g1*1024;} } </pre> <vob file="C:\Filme\Volume1\MMMenu.mpg" pause="inf"/> <button name="MMB1">g1=1;jump title 1;</button> <button name="MMB2">g1=2;jump title 2;</button> </pgc> </menus> </vmgm> <titleset> <menus> <pgc> <vob file="C:\Filme\Volume1\EmptyBackg.mpg" /> <post>jump vmgm menu 1;</post> </pgc> </menus> <titles> <pgc> <vob file="C:\Filme\Film1.mpg" chapters="00:00:00.000"/> <post>jump title 2;</post> </pgc> <pgc> <vob file="C:\Filme\Film2.mpg" chapters="00:00:00.000"/> <post>call vmgm menu 1;</post> </pgc> </titles> </titleset> </dvdauthor>
Code:<pre> { if (g1 eq 0) { button = 1024;} else { button = g1*1024;} } </pre>
Code:<pre> { jump title 1; } </pre>
P.S. I think TDA warns you, because the above mentioned restrictions are not fulfilled...
It would still be possible to create a "compatible" DVD (with no menues and an automatic continuous play) with Gui for DVDauthor (using titlesets), but it is a little bit more complicated and there may be a slight delay from one title to the other. -
Thanks a lot guys.........one last question:
I need to shrink down the authored dvd with dvd shrink........If I leave out the menus will dvd players have a problem jumping to the next track?
I don't care if their is a delay.Nothing is impossible for DiLeMmA says so!

I had no problems with this procedure, but I remember that some people reported problems with it...
If you have elementary streams, you may also use the requant facility within GFD to avoid this kind of problems.
But... If I remember your procedure correctly:
1.) Load mpgs or avis in Main Concept (best all around encoder because its real time and allows for batch encoding. -
Hmmm....So in other words some dvd players may have a problem with it.....

Oh also the reason I use DVDshrink to shrink afterwards because the procedure is faster than 2-pass in Main Concept

Ok, now I have a second problem. I know t.vs overscan but now the tv overscans the encoded movies like 2 inches on both sides......huh.......I am encoding dvd rips by the way so i'm guessing the aspect ratio to be 16:9. When encoding I select 16:9 in MainConcept as well as gui for dvdauthor. The resulting vobs play fine on the computer by the way. Any thoughts? And again, thanks a lot for your support!
