Hello, I need to make +/-400 diferent DVDs and each DVD with a diferent audio file,

so basicly the #1 DVD is:

-Simple Root Menu Saying "JOHN press play" in a text box
-Then it goes to a Movie Clip (lets call it star_wars1.mpg)
-With this video clip i want to playback an audio file (lets call it JOHN.wav)
So the Text Box in the menu is the audio file name.
So this is #1 DVD

Then the #2 DVD is:
-Simple Root Menu Saying "DAVID press play" in a text box
-Then it goes to the Movie Clip (again star_wars1.mpg)
-With this video clip i want to playback an audio file (but this time will be DAVID.wav)
So the Text Box in the menu is the audio file name.

and then it goes untill it reaches the last audiofile...

The idea is not burn to dvds but to make DVD image files, so they kept saved in HDD...

Do you know any software capable of this kind of batch process? or any way to make this automation?
I really need to do this...
Cheers any any help is pretty appreciated,
Pedro

I am sure better possibilities exist; in case nobody else gives to you some valid alternatives or hints, you may want to get a look to BatchMux:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=116297

Some documents and examples of usage are provided, and it assumes at least some basic knowledge of MuxMan, the undelying authoring engine...

It can build up a single complete DVD, starting from ALL OF THE NEEDED ASSETS, launching MuxMan with some c/l arguments. By creating a dos bat file with 400 or more calls to BatchMux, maybe you may start to work for solving your problems.

However, many parts of your requirements can not be solved within BatchMux: no ISO generation is provided (the different DVD files should be created in different folders) and you have to prepare manually the menu assets for the different 400 DVDs (for instance the background and the highlight bitmaps of the different menues)...

So, maybe you'd better following other solutions...

Cheers,
SD

BatchMux may be a choice for you as Sir Didymux said. If you need a simple tool to do all your requirements, maybe I can develop such one for you. Please email me at liurongsheng@yahoo.com if you like.
