Audio DVD Authoring

[jayos]

I want to create an audio dvd with a menu showing the albums contained (album covers) followed by a sub-menu with a track listing

I have all my audio tracks in AC3 format I just need a few pointers on the basic structure of the DVD

I am using Scenarist has any one got a template I could use or better still can anyone describe the basic structure setup step by step ?

Thx in advance

I am also using DVDlab which is much easier to use problem is I can't seem to create a dvd without a movie so I want to include a really low quality video file as the music is the important part or even a blank screen as the movie

U r not trying to create a dvd audio but a dvd video without the video.

U can use a black bmp for video and stretch it to cover the length of the audio

Hey Oddyseus, nice to see you back!

Be aware that authoring like this is a painfull and long process ;). But it will work this way

It's posible to use menus with the ac3 audiotrack as sound file?!
So you can also switch back or forward and can use the background for the track infos.
Only one very short dummy movie is needed for the hole DVD!

Try DVD Architect. Using the 'Music Compilation' you can add wav, mpg or ac3 audio files (you can convert them to ac3 with the program). It automaticly puts the file name for the video and you can add a background picture if you want. It's very easy
