Adding 2 Videos In MuxMan

[EpheMeroN]

I have a video + separate ac3 file I want to import into MuxMan. I also have a 10 second title video (with no audio) that I want to import and have shown before the main video. My question is, will this create an out of sync dvd? Or will MuxMan keep the ac3 synched to the main video and leave the 10 sec video alone? Also, will it make 2 chapter points for the separate videos?

Each segment will be muxed uniquely, so the audio will remain in synch. 2 Chapter points will be created. (1 chapter per program), unless you alter this.

May I add just one small comment ?

The freeware release (0.15P) of MuxMan supports multiple segments through scripting (not in the GUI). You have to write a small MuxMan script in order to achieve your job with 0.15P.

Of course if you have the professional release of MuxMan you are OK.

Also, other valid alternatives (for example DVD Planner by Zeul) exist.

In case you are using 0.15P and you are not totally happy about the idea of writing the mxp script (it is not a complex job however...), you may want to give a try to BatchMux. It is a small wrapper I wrote to launch MuxMan 0.15P. Using the the simple following (or similar) command line:

"E:\test\BatchMux.exe" "-d" E:\test\out\out -muxman E:\test -v "E:\test\VideoFile1.m2v" -SEG2v "E:\test\VideoFile2.m2v" -SEG2a1 "E:\test\AudioFile_80.ac3"

The script will be create for you, and MuxMan started with the above small project...

Some usage description and the download link for BatchMux is here:

Edit. With BatchMux, the two segments are placed in two different VTS and the navigation is built in order to play the two VTS one after the other. If you want to obtain the two videos connected in the same segment, the easiest solution I can suggest is to create a new silence audio stream (with the "silence" tool written by Jsoto), of the same length of your first video asset, and then using MuxMan 0.15P (the GUI support this) to place the two video assets, one after the other in the video file manager. Do the same to organise the two audio files, one after the other, as a single audio streams. Create a new celltimes.txt file with the first line corresponding to the number of video frames of your first video.

You can always author them separately and then use PGCEdit's "Import Title's Intro Clip" feature to have the 10 second clip play just before the main video.
