Hi All,
I have gone through the DVDStyler basic usage guide and read through the manual to no avail.
We made a short 15 minute movie at work for our Xmas party, which we now want to give a copy on DVD to give to each of the cast. I wanted to add a menu at the beginning as there is the movie clip and the out-takes/blooper clip.
I had the clips in AVI (XviD) format and converted both to VOBs using "VSO DivXtoDVD".
This is my first time using DVDStyler, I created a simple single menu with the only 2 options - watch the movie or the bloopers, and after finishing returning to the menu.
Imported the menus and the conversion goes fine, generating the ISO file. I then burn the ISO to a DVD using Nero Express.
The DVD works perfectly in my PC at home and my work PC using software players (PowerDVD and Sonic Player), but in a regular DVD player it just does not work (in my home player, no menu shows. I have to press stop then play and it starts playing the movie. I have to manually go to the 2nd title to play the bloopers. In our work player, it just displays "DISC ERROR").
I am running Windows XP, I am using version 1.5b6 of DVDStyler. I had a feeling maybe there is a problem in one of the IFOs or something that the software players ignore. I can post files if necessary. I don't know much about IFOEdit, but if changes need to be made in these files I am willing to learn.
Here is a list of files on the DVD:
D:\AUDIO_TS is empty
D:\VIDEO_TS contains the following:
VIDEO_TS.IFO 12 KB
VIDEO_TS.VOB 258 KB
VTS_01_0.IFO 26 KB
VTS_01_0.VOB 170 KB
VTS_01_1.VOB 357,328 KB
I have omitted the BUP files as I know they are simply backups.
Any help with this would be much appreciated as I quite like the DVDStyler interface and would love to continue using it rather than have to try different software.
PS - I thought it was strange that both titles were combined after DVDStyler does the authoring, is that normal?
Cheers
