try ulead dvd movie factory

[Puneet]

Best is TSCV...Just do anything with that.. I have also trid Ulead DVD Moviefactory and I would say it is very limited.

[e-z-e]

ulead may be limited, but the menus look nice and its very easy TVSC is complicated.

Not to mention TSCV is too buggy

I've been using Nero for both VCD and SVCD. It takes a bit getting used to it, but you can do some pretty nice ones within Nero only.

Hope this helps.

Nero authored menus are buggy and don't work on some players.

I strongly suggest you try VCDImager +/- a GUI (e.g., VCD Easy or TSCV). For authoring tips:

can anything that is out right now make real chapters? <the ones you can skip forward on the remote>

[Puneet]

vcdimager and its gui's like tscv can do that...But in (S)VCD's there is a difference in the way chapters work than in DVDs.

e.g. you play a movie from chap 2 and keep watching it till chap 4, now when you press next guess what you get.....chap 3 and not chap 5...

The VCD takes the chap from which it started to play as the reference chapter and not the one which you are watching presently. This is of course different to a DVD

This is not a problem with TSCV or vcdimager but the chapters for (S)VCDs are defined to work in this way...
