VCD - more advanced menu

[aabs]

I'd like to create such menu on VCD: in the background there would be a
short movie played and every chapter available would be rapresented by the
small picture and the title. Is it possible ? If yes, what software to use
?

[ya_jai]

1. Yes
2. Flash
3. TMPGenc to get frames image
4. VCDimager to author VCD with Menu and chapters
5. Ohhh don't for get nice image software such as Photoshop, but any other image software will do also.

I think that TSCV may have a tool that allows you to make like motion thumbnails...

If you like doing things the manual way, avisynth can also be used to make thumbnail menus.

Oh really! now TSCV support for motion menu. Wowowow I'be been gone for so long have to update myself now otherwise ppl will call me an old-fasion man, eh?.

How About VCDImager? Are there any new things about this terrific software. I'm still using versin 0.7.11 with TSCV ver 0.74. lol myself

Thanks for replies everyone. I've just tried TTSCV. After creating simple example, saving *.cue and *.bin, I burned vcd with cdrwin but my DVD player can't read it

To ya_jai: what flash for ? Do you mean Macromedia Flash ???

Now I'm going to try VCDImager.

Regards,

Yes Macromedia Flash any version will do.

How? you use TMPEGEnc to export your short clip movie let say 5 sec with NTSC 29.976, so you will have total of 150 frames. They you import all the frames to Flash. After you done with Flash you can export your movie from flash to avi (uncompress). Then use avi in TMPGEnc. This is a concept of using flash. You can tweak, modify to fit your way.

Flash is an idea for Motion Menu/chapters.
