Need help for reauthoring

[Cyrusorc]

Hi,

I would like to do a montage by selecting scenes and images from various movies VOB and Title. The problem is that I have over 100 titles and when I try to save my work has a .iso file, I get an error because you can't get more than 99 titles or something like that.

I would like to know if anyone knows how to solve this problem please.

( I was thinking if it is possible to fuse or merge some of the title together, but i have no idea how to do it and with what program to do it )

Any solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

The problem you have is not solvable.
The DVD specs foresee only 99 tracks. Inside those 99 tracks, you can have however 999 chapters per each track. Take the last number cautionary, as I don't remember it very well, it might apply to BD, and could be 99 for DVD, sorry, I don't have right now the specs at hand. Anyway, 99 x 99 is still a lot (9801 :)), if you group the clips according to content.

One SW to use is TMPG DVD author or something, but I think dvdstyler can also be used. There are tricks for each SW, google for them, or see in forum.

DVD2ONE features an append mode that would merge all titles of the same format into one rather than adding new titlesets.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I was able to merge my titles and now I can save my work :D

I have another question. I have attach a picture I extracted from a DVD.

My image only show up for 1 second or so. I would like to make it so that it could be display for 5 seconds.

How could I change the image properties so it will last 5 seconds? I don't know how to do it and what program to use :S

Any help would be appreciated, thank you :)

Impatient, are we? As a workaround use reauthoring in DVD Shrink. Add a title and trim it to 5s, then instead of compression select still image.

Sorry, I thought since nobody replied that my topic went unnoticed.

I tried to do what you said, but I can't modify the image time in DVD Shrink ( I have the 3.2 version ), I don't understand what I'm doing wrong :(

I open the file
go to reauthoring
add the title
click on trim
a little window appear and I see the picture, but then, I can't click anything and it shows that the image last for 0.15 second, I can only click cancel and it closes the window :S

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, thank you.

Just use any video title and trim end time to 5 second. Instead of compression select "Still Image". Now the sound of that clip is muted and the video is replaced by the image which will be shown 5 seconds.
