Only by converting from a DVD.

But How do u convert them?

Using what? . I read that menu's can be created using "DVDMenuXtractor" ... But how do u do it? n moreover where do u get that? I searched everywhere for this ... Didnt find any installer!:confused:

I got the software allright... But I still didnt make out how to use it ..

Well Its creating.. umm... xml files for mkvmerge and splitting and demuxing into m2v,ac3 files... and the output (menu) mkv file contains m2v .... and talkin abt menu how does it work?

It doesnt work like DVD! Does it? and one more thing ... Even the menu should be compressed .. like XviD stream and vorbis stream muxed in mKV.

How does the menu work??

Hey.... Some one help .. plz!!!

You would just need to re-encode the m2v/AC3 streams, then edit the mkvmerge batch files to point to the new files.

Can u give some example? and will there be any links between menu and the movie ?

like in the menu PLAY MOVIE... Can v click on that? something like that? and can we add our own options?

or is it just d extract from the menu vob file .. 2 m2v,ac3 and remux in mkv ?

You just mux with mkvmerge and as long as the files produced are in the same directory, VLC should be able to know they are supposed to work together. Otherwise you can concatenate them into a single file (copy /b).

We are working on an improved version for... soon.

Hello,
I would have two questions: Is there a newer linux version of dvdmenuxtractor (well, ok, and a guide how to install it)?
My second question is aoubt how to use dvdmenuxtractor and mkvmerge in order to thet the whole dvd in one file?
I tried to understand the nature of the .bat files produced, and I understand that basikcally every title produces one mkv container.
Plus one more for the menus.
So How do I mux all these things together in one large file?
Or does vlc not understand that kind of thing (which I suspect, because I created a single mkv with two video streams which played nicely in mplayer, but vlc played both streams in parallel, opening an additional x11 window. Anyways, I wouldn't bother if mplayer were able to display tracknames, so that you were able to choose the track you want to see. The way it is right now, you have to try all the aid, vid and sid until you find the ones you want...)
Thanks, Bjoern
