    I have a number of seperate avi files, I was wondering whats the best way to get these all onto one DVD with some sort of menu.

    Im thinking that i need to merge the avi's to one big avi using virtualDub or something and then somehow make chapters ??

    Anyone got any ideas - and it needs to play in a bog standard old skool dvd player (it has no support for divx or anything fancy)

    well you could convert the avi's to dvd format then use dvd shrink to add them to one dvd ...the menu i honestly have no experience making menus

    it leaves a watermark unless I buy it, doesnt seem to do any dvd menu options either.

    so is the consensus to merge all the seperate avi files into one long file and then create the dvd menu after ?

    Have a read of this thread here.

    If you were going to add the avi together as one avi they'd have to be the same resolution, video & sound codec, sameframerate and have the same audio frequency. So too much work involved there.

    What I'd do is create seperate dvd compliant mpgs and use something like TMPGEnc DVD Author to create the menus.

    Nero Recode will do this too as long has you have the right plugins installed.


    Thinking about it you could create basic VOBs for each MPG (described in the above guide) and use DVDShrink to merge them together on one DVD.
    You'll be lacking any kind of menu though so the clips would play one after another.

    Hey you could convert the avi files to dvd using Vso's DivxToDvd

    and then use Ulead's Dvd Creator to add your menu, layout burn this
    compilation as an Image file or Video_TS file

    and follow this up with dvd shrink so that it will fit onto a blank dvd!
    burn this final compilation with dvd decrypter

    this works great for me and ive tried everything else thats out there

    any problems - give me a pm

    Baz909, your help is appreciated, but don't offer software to people. If it's free to download, people can get it themselves, but if not, they can buy it. If I get a hint you're offering illegal software here, I'll ban you, no warnings.

    John
