How make DVD in which source video file correspond chapter on DVD

[yup]

Hi folks!
Very simple task: I have 9 video files and 9 audio files DVD compliant, I want make DVD in which one file correspond one chapter (files small 10-20 minute and I do not want add chapters inside files) . I try DVDAutorGUI, but get separate titles (not chapters) and have problem during playing on my old standalone DVD (Pioneer DV-343). Using MuxMan I get one title without chapters this playing without problem but without navigation. Please advice way for solving my task.
With kind regards yup.

I suggest TmpgEncDVDAuthor (http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/index.html). Version 1.6 is the most user friendly if you can find it. :)

It is very trivial with dvdauthor (http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/). Just make an XML file like this:

<dvdauthor>
<vmgm />
<titleset>
<titles>
<pgc>
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_13-05-14.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_13-06-51.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_13-07-44.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_14-24-56.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_14-26-31.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_16-12-15.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_16-30-41.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_16-35-03.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_16-51-17.vob" />
<vob file="va-2007.12.09_16-55-18.vob" />
</pgc>
</titles>
</titleset>
</dvdauthor>

Put the XML file together with the VOB files, then run dvdauthor like this:

dvdauthor -o DVD_LABEL -x XMLfile.xml

This will generate a DVD image with no menus, just one title, and each .vob file will be a separate chapter in the title. The chapters will not be perfectly continuous, but there will be a very tiny pause (fraction of a second) between them. I used this method for years to make my own home videos.

What might be an issue for Windows users is that dvdauthor is a Linux application. But who knows, it might work on Windows under cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/).

EDIT: Hm, this might get complicated. dvdauthor is not included in the cygwin packages, so the only chance is to install, under cygwin, the development tools (gcc and so on) and compile dvdauthor from source.
Or install Linux somewhere and then dvdauthor will work without problems.
