If I understand there were three projects working on menus for video, PowerDivX or Core Media not sure what they are called now, MCF or Matroska or both or something, and XCD or the other one like XCD not sure if it's around anymore. First off to many changes splits and such. Second what is the status, cuse it sounds like no one is working on it anymore.
With the coming afordability of dvd burners I'm starting to organize my tv episodes in order to place twelve on a dvd hopefully using a menuing system. Preferably I'd like to use a menu through Zoomplayer, being the best player around IMHO. This talk of the new power DviX player or core media player using dividivx is good and All but I see no player almost a year after this statement was made. Seems like it will never come out.
And like the MCF developers the response is always soon. I would just like to get an understanding of what is being done on this and how it is to be implemented. Will it be player specific, or more of a Direct show filter. Will it be in the container specs of mcf or more dvdish like an ifo file.
I know this can be quite a hard thing to implement but please any response or thoughts on development would give me some satisfaction.
p.s. I don't use micro dvd player due to the masive amount of hacks required inorder to play multiple files and the player flat out sucks in my opinion.
Also don't think I'm being rude, This post is meant to show there is still demand for such a menu system incase the developers fell they lost support.
