ok, the project on paper looks like this at the moment:
----------------------------------------------
1st thingy is a really short intro, then jump to the navigation ->
navigation screen:
1. button1 - play1
2. button2 - play2
3. button3 - play3
4. button4 - subs on/off
5. button5 - play all (1-3)
playback:
1. header1 - section1 - return
2. header2 - section2 - return
3. header3 - section3 - return
4. --- dunno, how to nicely implement that really
5. section1 - section2 - section3 - return
(where return goes back to navigation screen)
----------------------------------------------
iam planning to use dvd-lab (which does not support subs at the moment?), so i will just double everything (or at least thats my smart plan :P) where the second version of everything will have subs simply burned in.
the questions:
1. the assets will be prepared/encoded before the authoring, so 1st question would be, do i need to recut them before importing into authoring app, or can i just leave everything as one big file for this particular scenario? basicaly how to encode recut (what tools) if that is needed , or what?
2. if i find a good app that support the actual subs, how to check for quality on pc? seems to me that none of the pc dvd players really antialias subs as they should be?
3. if the subs are implemented via burning into the picture, is there a way to use standard dvd controls somehow (where subs selection will simply skip to the different video at the same position)?
4. basically is the dvd lab good/stable enough for such an enterprise?
5. actually this will be miniDVD at first, there will be like 15 minutes of video i guess, any suggestion considering the max/min bitrates, or maybe i should use (pal d1 / 2)?
tia,
