muxman multiple titles

[magic144]

hi

just wonderining if it's possible to author with multiple titles (each title with its own audio/subs) in the Standard version of muxman (0.14h)

I can see how to add more than one .m2v, but not how to ascribe the audio, subs or chapter points to each

or is this something that can only be done with scripts - if so, can someone post an example script for a disc with 2 titles, each with its own audio/subs/chapter points?

cheers, hope this hasn't been asked too many hundred times before!

ps - in the muxman readme file I see this line:-
"All video files must match in resolution, aspect ratio"
is this true for multiple titles? so can you not author a disc with both 16:9 and 4:3 with muxman (or is this perhaps possible in the Advanced version)

You can have multiple titles with 0.14h only in a strange way. First, you are correct that it must be done with the script file, the gui has no support at all for titles in that version. And all the titles share the same segment (video and audio) so the only way to make the titles different is to use different cells of the same segment.
Version 0.15 and later support multiple segments, titles, and titlesets (for different video types).

thanks mpucoder - sounds like I should invest in a subscription :-)

just so I get this straight, what (briefly) is the difference between a segment and a titleset? (and the relationship/constraints between segments, titles, titlesets)

[mpucoder]

A segment is a multiplexing unit, Scenarist calls them tracks, but that word is overused and has multiple meanings. Each segment is a synchronization point, all the audio and subpicture timing is relative to the start of the segment.
A title can consist of one or more segments, and a titleset can consist of one or more titles. Titles can share segments, or parts of segments (cells).

ok cheers mpu

I guess Titles and Chapters are what standalone DVD players deal in

I couldn't really tell from the muxman Advanced webpage screen-caps

how Titles and Titlesets were authored - is there a user guide or anything so I can see how it would work? I just want to get an idea of how easy or hard it is going to be to use to author a DVD with 2 or more titles using the gui.
