I need help with MENUS

[BMzx]

I've read a lot in the forum and still not sure what to do.
I use Easy CD Creator to make my VCD's. The Author HOW TO didn't help me much.
Is there an easy program to make menus.
What program will make menus with chapter points from one long menu. I tried SpruceUp...that was very easy to use making chapter points but I guess that made ture DVDs so a CDR would only hole about 15 mins worth of video and they would not play on a stand alone player.

Also....If I put several smaller videos on on CDR is there a way to have them fade or dissolve into each other?

I hope this is not confusing or all over the place ? ? ?

Thanks for any help
Bob

if you wanna go into menus try Video pack 4

i donno where i got mine but you gota do som searchin on the net for that baby.

its pretty easy its works like drag and drop and the tutorial is (hmmm) okay i guess. the only problem is with the program is that i dont know how to CONVERT the image file it spits out into a BIN QUE or the RAW files.

but if this is figured out then Videopack 4 is the way to go for menus. if not Nero is good but its cheap

Using Adobe priemer to make one long file from a few smaller ones would let u add transition effect and I believe that there are export plug-in that can "stream" the output into TMPEG, Virtualdub, or bbmpeg, i believe. Then can use the cute join in Tmpeg if u don't mind the pauses you'll get in your "Premiere transition" due to changing to the next play item in what ever u use to author once your seperate files. Or you could use entrypoints in VCdimager, but damn If I dont know use that prog yet. I'm working on it. I know there's more to it, answering your ? that is, but it's not sumthing that I've wanted to do so I haven't tried it. however I noticed no one had written u back so I didn't want u to feel bad
that's a start so...go 4 what work 4U

not cool Timmy_Boi...you beat me by like 30s

Anyway...have you tried CDmage for you disc images

[Highlander]

CDmage doesnt support .RAw format...im still trying to get these burned somehow as my cd-rw isnt supported by video pack 4..and there aren`t any drivers on the roxio site for it

[timmy_boi]

lol sorry bout that rayjr13

anyways yea cdmage is stupid with what VideoPack 4 spits out for cd images as in *.RAW and *.CPJ.

ppl are saying if you want to convert those files, use WinOnCD and then convert those files to *.C2D file THEN use
CDMAGE to convert that *.C2D file to a dat or somthing.

I want to do that myself but I CANT FIND winOnCD neither hacked or Demo.

if you guys find a demo please point out the light thanx
