Hi, I'm about to start converting some of my old VHS tapes so I can burn them to DVD. Is there a way I can create a menu for these DVDs like the commercial DVDs, so I can have several episodes on each DVD and can select which one I want to view? Thanks. Snuffy@WhiskeyJug.com |

But the answer in most cases is yes, based on the fact that I can do that with either my standalone burner or my computer. I suggest you read the manual for whatever hardware/software combination you are using. Then if you still can't determine it, post back here with all the details of what you're using.... someone may have experience with the same.

TDA (TMPGEnc DVD Author). http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tda.html http://www.tmpg-inc.com/ You may need VideoReDo to rip them into DVD-compliant mpgs. http://www.videoredo.com/ There are several authoring applications out there but TDA is the easiest to use and has a nifty menu editor. -- "One must realize that the world is a network of real and virtual combat zones where the stakes are high, struggle is the primary mode of being and only total victory is acceptable. -- Sun Tzu, "The Art Of War" |
