GUI for DVDauthor and intro movie problem

[Graham Meredith]

GUI for DVDauthor allows you to add an intro to your menu, but when I go to create the DVD files (not burn them), it halts with an error with a mux problem on the intro clip. Deleting the intro enables it to render sucessfully. The guide just mentions that the intro clip must be muxed correctly, I've remuxed it, no luck, I even took a piece of one of the sucessfully accepted main movies, (same res and specs) but it still tells me that there is a problem. Anyone used this software and got a sucessful intro to work?

Cheers, Graham

1. Right next to the 'Intro' selection is a command button with 'Info'. There you may check whether it is correctly muxed.
2. If you have disabled the multi VTS feature (use titlesets=off), the intro must have the same properties (resolution, aspect, video norm, number and type of audio streams) as the other movie(s).

In order to get a correctly muxed intro, you may 'precreate' it with GfD:
- Demultiplex your intro video (if you should not have it as elementary streams already)
- Add the intro video as a 'normal' movie in a new GfD project
- Use the 'Create Batch' button in GfD
- Run the batchrun0.bat file in the defined temp directory (just double click on batchrun0 in the windows explorer)
=> In the temp directory you will find the muxed intro which you can then move to your standard movie directory

Hi Borax,
YOU ARE SUCH A CHAMP!!!
Works like a charm!
I've been struggling with this all day, trying workarounds, different mux programs, getting nowhere.

There's nothing better than a word from the creator himself!!
Thanx heaps!! Great program!!

Cheers, Graham
