    Hello,
    To make my dvds i use avstodvd since several years and i am very satisfied with it. But i have a small problem when creating the menu. At this moment i am creating dvds with 20 titles-titles labels- on each dvd.
    I use the static menu.
    If i edit the menu, each title label has a default value of 20 in the height case
    i wish to change this 20 value and the basic way is to do the change by editing each of the 20 title label one after the other.
    so my question is: in what folder of avstodvd program is the title "label heiht" value? If i could change this default value i will no more have to do the change in the 20 "title label height" one after the other.
    I looked in the menu template -labels.ini- but there is no height value.
    thank you for your attention

    You might be able to do this by editing the project file in Notepad,
    use edit/replace/replace all to change
    ThumbLabelHeight: 30 to ThumbLabelHeight: 32 (for example).

    Save it, and reopen the project

    hello davenext, thank you for your fast and interesting reply.
    but i do not see how to do "editing the project file".
    I did "save the project file as..." which gives an a2d file. All titles are listed and in the part "title menu" there is a line "ThumbLabelHeight" . If i change the value it changes well in the menu after opening avstodvd with the modified a2d.
    However i must do the change in the a2d for each title and that is almost as long as to change directly in the avstodvd menu...
    The "ThumbLabelHeight" default value must be in an avstodvd folder or file, but which one?
    Thanks for your attention.
    I have windows 11.

    I don't understand why "Replace All" in Notepad doesn't work.
    Change every occurrence of ThumbLabelHeight: xx to ThumbLabelHeight: yy

  6. @davexnet,
    I tested your method & it worked fine for me.
    I do not have a project like this & wanted to see if this would work.
    The only problem I found was a limit of 16 titles per menu page.
    If Arizoa can get 20 titles per page .
    I have to ask How?

    AFAIK there is a limit of how many items per page, whever it is 4:3 or 16:9, as opposed to per vob/ifo.

    Even so I would not use avstodvd for this.


    DVDStyler makes much more appealing menus and effortlessly over multiple pages rather than over one which, unless I am wrong, avistodvd does with the inherent page limit.

  8. @ DB83,
    I use AVStoDVD to convert the DVD format from other formats.
    I have played with the menu but I have never burned a menu created with AVStoDVD to a disc.
    I agree for myself it is not the program to create a menu.

    The last software I used to create a DVD with multiple YouTube titles with a menu was the very old DVDFlick.
    It had a limit of 48 titles but the menu is 4 thumbnails per title page & 12 pages.
    I checked it today & it still plays even though it was written in 2009.

    It has been a long time since I have used DVDStyler.
    So I'm sure I'm out of date on using it.
    I did use it to create a motion menu one time but I found it difficult to work with.
    IIRC DVDStyler has to encode the video to add a menu.

    For myself I like a simple menu if any.
    I usually use TitleWriter. No encode. A simple text menu on a black background.
    The menu size is very small. Usually about 36kb.
