can`t create a multi chaptered dvd

[mique]

hi,
ive been having ongoing dramas trying to create a playable dvd with several small files.

ive downloaded the latest ffmpegx v0.0.9s and im using sizzle v 0.5.0b1, followed the steps on galacticas site - using my .mpv and .ac3 files but when i test the final result on apple dvd i get the following system error (could not detect a valid media file <-70001>)

im at a loss and losing hair over this....

pleeeeeeeease help with some simple easy to understand advice for a non-tech person.

thanks in advance

sizzle should have created a disc-image, mount the disk-image using toast and dvd-player should play. in case you don't have toast, use Disk Utilty to mount and in DVD player goto Menu --> File --> Open VIDEO_TS Folder... and navigate to your mounted disc-image select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Choose.

no, just tried that and dvd wouldnt play on the external burner. man, am i missing something really obvious and simple in this process?

try vlc

i just gave vlc a go. and it played one of the vob files in the video_ts folder...but it only ran for 1 min. it only played a split second of the other file and i could see my sizzle background screen on that file.

but still no luck

yes! finally managed to make some progress unfortunately it wasnt with sizzle but ive managed to put multiple video_ts folders on one dvd with dvd to one...not menu but its a start!!!!!

any help getting sizzle happening would be appreciated
