Making a DVD with pieces of other DVDs?

[maguila]

Hi all!!

I trying to do something similar..
I want to put together movie trailers in one dvd-r
I converted the Quick time trailers into dvd with Win Avi converter, and got stucked there.
Now I need some help on how to burn them together so they play one after another...
ANY ideas???

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Put the 5.1 audio into the other track of a VTS.
Put the oddball aspect into a separate VTS.

Ok, I now have DVDLab Pro and on the left hand menu have 5 VTS folders. Each folder contains 1 movie and in that movie ther is one trailer. The Last VTS holds to 5.1 trailer. ok, from here, how do I connect them so they play one after the other? When I burned them to my HD it only played the first movie.

Hi all!!

Just read back through the posts. Its all there. I've been bugging these guys for days now. If your avi converted trailers dont have 5.1, you can just connect them with DVDLab as reboot explains in an earlier post.

On the connections window, click on the +
Click on movie 1, drag and drop on movie 2. Movie 2 to movie 3, etc.
Make a link from a menu to movie 1.
This is a sort of playall button.
If any one movie is selected from another menu though, it will play from that point to the end of the last movie.
If you want to return to the menu that called that video, you need to hit the "return to menu" button at the bottom of the connections tab, and link it from the playing movie.

magulia, get rid of WinAVI. It will NOT do what you want.
Get a good encoder, that outputs mpeg-2, then you can do what you want in dvdlab.

I'm starting to miss the days of drag and drop svcd.

When I click the + it will only let me drag to the first movie. The other
movies get red X's across them. ???

Reboot,
Is there a way to contact the dvdlab people so I dont have to keep bothering you?

here the connections:


and here are those Xs when I try and connect them:

OK. In the Project window, create 4 VTS.
Put each movie in a VTS.
Now link them.
You not having any menus?

ok, In the project window a created 4 VTSs. I put one movie in each VTS (movie 1, movie2, etc). Now when you say link them, I assume you mean go to the connections window, right click on"draw connections" and then drag the arrow from one movie to the next, connecting them all. The problem is that when I do that, i get those red Xs that you see in the last post.
