Simple Menu with 2 languages?

[plautzer]

Hi,

I just want to create a simple menu where i hav 2 buttons, each button should play the main movie but in a different language!
I'm a newby and started to work with dvdlab and dvdnaestro, but i dont know how to get started, i ripped the movie on my hard drive and now im stuck... i guess i have to splitt the 2 languages from the main movie to be able a create to different (language-) Links.

Plz, could u help me out herrrre with my litte problem.

Thx,

You can do this easily with DVDMaestro.Once created your button,select 'buttons' of the panel below, go to 'stream pre-selection',check 'set audio to' and choose your audio track:thist will be the default audio.

If you ripped the movie to disk into a single file, use any tool to demultiplex, as vobrator, and when done, just drag & drop video and audio tracks into DVDMaestro. Search for a good tutorial in doom9.org tutorial's section.

Hi Plautzer welcome to the forum !

What you also can do is use menuedit on a dvd you have that already has a feature like that (well almost any dvd has that). Use menuedit to find out what kind of commands are used on professional dvds and see how you can do that yourself.

I doubt if dvdlab if capable of doing things like that and the before mentionmed suggestion is also excellent btw.

Good Luck.

Thx guys!

Is there a demo or shareware for menuedit available? Cuz i cant find anywhere.

Thx,

dvdlab can only handle one audio track. The upcoming DVDLab Pro will be a professional level authoring tool, supporting multiple audio tracks and will allow you to do what you want (I don't know exactly how as I haven't had time to check out the public bet, but considering how easy DVDLab is, I doubt it'll be very hard to do such a language selection).

Here's the download link for the menuedit demo: http://www.dimadsoft.com/menuedit/download.php
BTW, if you enter "menuedit" in google, the first link you'll get goes straight to the menuedit homepage. Don't let me catch you not having googled again :devil:

Thx,

i did google and i found this link,too, but it doesn't there is always an error when im tryin to load the vob.

You can't load a vob from an mounted iso, since that will be read only. So maybe that's the problem?

[plautzer]

I dont really understand what u mean!
I just ripped the .vobs to had disk with DVDshrink 3.1 and thats it.
Now i demuxed the vobs w/ vobedit.
Than i tried to import in to dvdmaestro; the video stream works fine, but the audio stream (ac3) cannot be imported, there is always an error message.

What to do?

Plautzer

Oh I thought you were talking about menuedit :) Well an error message will help.

[plautzer]

i was actually:)
But i also have an error message in dvdmaestro:
'Media Detection Error(0xc10b0001)'

Do i have to encode the audio stream from ac3 to wav or sth. else?

Plautzer

[unkown]

That is a frequent error.In many cases your ac3 file has bad frames at the beginning or the end.Just use ac3fix to correct and try again that file on DVDMaestro.I hope you won't get more errors!

[plautzer]

ac3fix doesnt run under windowsXP,
are there other tools like that?

Thx

Plautzer

[plautzer]

I got it running under xp, dump error:(
Even though it couldn't find any bad frames, the new .ac3 can be load into dvdmaestro.:)

Thx Guys.
