How to Create .mp4 files with menus to usb flash drive?

[arturjose]

Hello every body, I need your help.
With the dvdr disc is slow death and the video formats best then VOB/MPEG2. And big files my idea it`s convert all to mp4 (H.264)
Episode by episode I`m converting each episode in .MP4 The serie it`s "Conan, the boy in fucture"
I want put all episódes into one usb flash drive but with simple Menu. Like:

1º Episode
2º Episode
3º Episode....

See All episode
Select episode

My question it,It`s possible? Any know one mp4 authoring software?
One good ideia is Sony DVD Architect,but that, only make auhtoring to DVD
Thank you all.

Most media players will give you a list of files. Just name them with the episode number. Beyond that there is no standard way of getting menus outside of normal movie DVDs. Every player is different.

The successor of the "DVD Video" media format is "Blu-ray", which supports very flexible authoring with graphical menus; and if you don't want it on an optical disc, there is a very similar structure for other media with FAT alike file system: It's called "AVCHD". But I won't guarantee that many consumer players will support it just like arbitrary MP4 video files. The suggestion jagabo posted is surely easier to realize. Many players may support playing only one file, as well as the whole sequence in a subdirectory.

Probably the best longterm solution is to go for a media player that either has it's own menu system and gets all the art work and details or can run Plex or YAMJ or the Cloud Media Player A-500 https://www.cloudmedia.com/?product=a-500 or similar. Not as cheap as a bunch of memory sticks but it does provide a menu system, art work and synopsis etc. DUNE is another brand and there are several European only devices, maybe one of the Enigma 2 PVR's media playback units to check out?
