Creating a title.

[stottie]

Hi

I am after creating a simple title (say in painrtshop) and have that show before the film starts.

What programs do i need or does anyone have any URL's with guides etc?

(will need to make your title manually, and i'm guessing u just want it to play and not act like a menu)

Thx for the reply...i have created a simple title in microsoft movie maker which saved as a wma file. I have convert this to a mpeg now just need to make into a VOB file. What do i need to do to the original vob files? can these just be renamed from 1-4 to 2-5 etc?

nope leave the original files as they are or u will damage dvd structure and therefore playback. try to familiarise yourself with pgcedit, i think PGCEdit it can sort it all in one step. just select the IFO of the VOB file u created :) (Utilities - Import Menu is the PGCEdit feature you will need to use as far as i know)

Hi

Sorry if i have confused you - i have a file in .mpg not vob yet! or .IFO

So what prog can i use to create a VOB and IFO file then?

I assume once i do this PGcedit should pull it in.

yes PGCEdit will accept it then. demux your mpeg with TMPGenc mpeg tools or any demux tool that will accept .mpg which should get your separate stream(s). then author with IFOEdit or rejig's dvd author mode loading in the correct files (video = .m2v or .mpv, audio = .ac3 or .mpa/.mp2) and output to a directory, this will give u your vob ifo and bup files, then load VTS_01_0.IFO into PGCEdit :)

If you also create a mini cell at last i-frame of your intro movie, you'll get(or add) a nice "skip-intro" feather to your new compilation...:)

Hi

Thanks for all the help lads...I have finally created the .VOB file etc just need to know how to use PGCedit !

Do i need to load the original VOb files from the dvd i want this title screen to be added to also?

just open the VIDEO_TS.IFO of the original DVD you want to add the clip to then go to the menu... Utilities - Import Menu... and load your new IFO of the clip. not sure how easy it is to change when it plays as i've never used the feature, only read a bit about it :rolleyes:

OK thx m8

I used a program called VOBmerge 0.5 which worked but will try your way also...

To import a title with PgcEdit, you have to select the title before or after which you want to play the new title, and use one of the macros "Import Title Intro Clip" or "Import Title Closing Clip". The rest is automatic!

The "Import VTST Title" will import the clip, but you will need to create some new VMGM PGCs and edit them to let the title play when you want it to be played.

Thx m8

Your the daddy...using vob merge i lost the sound and this way i keep the original vob file intact.

Thanks again

Though I haven't used DVD Shrink 3.2 fully yet, there is a new feature of replacing a title with a still image. That could work on this subject matter. Don't know if you're going for a movie only backup.
