add a video

[malik]

Can I add a video before the DVD starts (even the menu) Like warning or anything I want. I am not familiar with IFOEdit commands so more details would be appriciated.

thanx and sorry for my bad english.

try the 'New PGC' feature of PGCEdit for that, i haven't used it myself. what u could do is create a new PGC and at the point u want to have it play set the previous menu/video post command to jump to your new PGC and then cut the post commands from the previous menu/video and set those as your new PGC's post commands.

u would then need to add your video into this pgc and i'm not sure to do this, but 1 way would be to add your PGC as a 'video' and not as a menu, then use the replace feature of vob blanker and load in your own vob ;)

Is there any simpler way since am a real beginner here.

If there is not its OK

i wouldn't say there is a simpler way, but there is a complete walkthrough done by 2cool which uses IFO Edit but is more complicated, so u would only have to follow that completely.

otherwise just ask for help in this thread if u get stuck, the way i suggested is fairly easy (although i can see how it may sound difficult), just have a look at the programs (PGCEdit and VobBlanker) and u will see it only takes a few button clicks in each (+ the creation of your own custom vob file).

when u open your DVD in PGCEdit select an existing PGC in a VTS of your choice (this will look like this... VTS1 / TTN1 (Title 1)... but the numbers could be different) and then select 'Utilities - New PGC' and then confirm, then u would have to move the post command(s) about.

then once all that is done using vobblanker u just highlight your VTS that the new PGC is in and then highlight the title number (TTN) and press replace, browse to your custom vob file and then u can save the whole dvd to a new location so it's ready to burn.

to create your custom vob use something like IFOEdit to author (u can change a .jpg into a .m2v with TMPGenc), but again i'm not sure what u are aiming for, so check the forums for more specific info or explain here

it's hard to explain about moving the post command(s) without knowing the dvd structure, so if u need more detail or a short guide then i will sort one out. i just need to know more about your DVD structure and when u actually want the custom video to play.

I want to add a video (my logo) directly when the DVD starts (like warning screens) and about my dvd structure consider it as menus and one long video there is no extras.

The new PgcEdit beta (http://home.tiscali.be/debie.roland/pgcedit/beta/pgcedit_0.3.0beta.exe) has a function that automatize all the stuff needed to add the logo you want: all you have to do is select the IFO file you want to import.
