View Full Version : Experts needed - IFOEDIT

Some may have noticed that I made a guide for using ifoedit to adopt a menue made as a slide show with MyDVD allowing films with different characteristics to be placed on one DVD with one Menu - this took some time to discover but works every time.
The reason why this is easy is because MyDVD makes a seperate IFO for each film thus allowing me to replace the slides with real films afterwards.

Now my experimenting continues and I've started using DVD Lab.
I want to do the same film replacement trick after creating the menu.
Adapting the menues and I

Trouble with that is that the two films are added together in one Title Set making it imposible (?) to exchange my dummy films for the real ones afterwards.

What I need to be able to do is to change the menue pointers to Title set 2 instead of PGC2 which is in the first VOB.

It must be possible to do this - just can't figure it out this time!

Thanks for any ideas

P.S.

WHY ? you may ask .... well, it is of course a hobby for one thing and for another - I get absolutly perfect, working Title Sets with Shrink and don't want to rebuild them just for the sake of a menu.
Seemed ludicrous when I started this 5 weeks ago and still is if you ask me.
I really don't see why software firms havn't had this idea themselves.
DVD Lab is a great tool and will even accept whole vobs but if you read the problems it has getting the information right you wanna run a mile before using it that way.
So my goal is to keep my films in one piece and add the menues with other software.

I was trying to do the same thing with DVDLab awhile back but gave up as it only supports 1 title set. TMPGEnc DVD Author supports multiple title sets.

Thanks megahurts,

I see I'm not the only one on this trail then :)

My method works with MyDVD - just tierd of the menues now being fixed and basic.

DVDlab seemed exactly what I need 'till I got to the first compilation where I found that it makes only one stream and has no end of trouble with ready made vobs and also seperate AC3s !

The compilation dialog is no good either because it mentions the problems without telling which files are involved. So painfull as it may be (unless I find a way in IFOEDIT) this software hits the recycle bin!
