Creating a Music Video DVD

[vinnyp]

Is there a way to make a Music Video DVD using different chapters/music videos from an assortment of Music DVD's. For instance, I have a James Taylor DVD, an Alison Krauss DVD, and a Lee Greenwood DVD and would like to use tracks from each to form one DVD. Like a greatest hits type thing. There are probably many ways but I am looking for quality over speed and ease, although ease is important as I am not very experienced at this.
Thanks

Thanks but is this the only methods. I have DVDLab but not VideoReDo. Would I get the same video and audio quality using the DVD Shrink method.

Yes just rip each clip to it's own folder and use DVDLab for menus and authoring,if you don't want menus just use DVDShrink.You won't lose quality unless you transcode(compress).

MovieGeek, can I just rip, say, 4 video from one dvd or do I have to rip the whole dvd to it's own folder. How would I rip just 2 videos from say James Taylor and just 2 videos from Hootie and the Blowfish.

You can use DVD Shrink to rip 1 or more video's from the two DVD's then burn.

Dont worry about DVD shrink just use DVD Decrypter to rip the videos you want. It sounds like you are gonna have different audio levels from different DVD video clips...so you might want to edit all the Audio then put them on one DVD like you want.

DVD Decrypter wont give you a preview of what you are ripping unless You know how to read the DVD structure,Like I said go with DVD Shrink , you wont go wrong.

DVDShrink->Re-author->Start/End->Backup.
You will have to put each clip in it's own folder(eg taylor1,taylor2,etc).



After you have all your clips(titles) then use Re-author to locate each folder and drag over to left window,then hit Backup.

Ok, I used DVD Shrink 3.2 to rip the files into their own folder. But I want to author a DVD with Menus and bells and whistles. I have DVDLab Pro installed but it is complex and I can't find the right guide to use to figure out how to put it all together. Should I not use DVDLab and maybe use something else which would still let me make the menus.

I thought this would be easy. WRONG!

I use TmpgEnc Author to make menus when i make a music DVD compilation. It is very easy to use and the menus are really good especially the motion menus you can make with music.

How can I load individual chapters using TDA? Suppose I want just a couple of songs from each DVD ? What I am doing right now is use DVD Shrink and load the chapters I want then burn. The problem is there is no menu, there is a pause between chapters and audio is not even for different performances.

I also posted a related question about using TMPGenc (still unanswered). This time it is about DVD Shrink. Let's say I want to make a compilation of concert videos. I want just two chapters from each DVD, each chapter representing a song. Before, I have to rip the whole DVD into the hard drive just to add a song into the compilation. If I understood it correctly, you and MovieGeek implied that selected chapters can be ripped using DVD Shrink. It will make my life easier if you can tell me how to do it. The compilation guides require ripping into the hard drive but it is silent about ripping individual chapters. Thanks.

Hey Edu, i usually just watch a music dvd using Windows media player and keep a note of what specific music-videos or chapters i want to rip which come up on the right of media player. Then i open up DVD decrypter and rip them then load them into tmpgEnc, make menus etc.
