Ok. When using "Quick DVD", SVCD2DVD will try to work out how the DVD should be laid out in terms of TitleSets.

It does this by considering Asset files from different folders to be from different movies (and so will create new TitleSets for each folder your assets are in). Also if your Assets have different basenames it will assume a new movie (and TitleSet) too.

I.e.:

FolderA\movie1a.mpg
FolderA\movie1b.mpg
FolderA\movie1c.mpg

FolderB\movie2a.mpg
FolderB\movie2b.mpg
FolderB\movie2c.mpg

Will create two TitleSets: one containg the files from FolderA and one containing the files from FolderB.

FolderA\movie2a.mpg
FolderA\Film2a.mpg
FolderA\Capture2a.mpg

Would create three TitleSets as there is no common basename in the files in FolderA.

If you start with BIN files:

You may have:

FolderA\moviePartA.bin
FolderA\moviePartB.bin

And expect to get a Single TitleSet. In most cases this will be true. However if moviePartA.bin contains 2 mpegs and moviePartB.bin contains a single mpeg then the mpeg filenames may not have a common base name. It is in these cases that you may not get what you expect....

Thus, in such cases, SVCD2DVD tells you that you have more then one TitleSet. It is now up to you how to procede. You can delete the second TitleSet and just make sure your mpeg Assets are in the first TitleSet (in the order you would like).

Of course you can set things up manually - it take seconds - and you will never get anything you don't anticipate.

thanks chrissyboy,
i'll check when i get home
iknow the two bin files i have only contain 1 file each,and i'm sure the names are the same just with a different number at the end of the file name.

i'll have to c if i can see an help file for manually setting it up on this new version of svcd2dvd
