Again drag your dummy file into this new title set. Now add a new title set by rightclicking in the time line. Select the "Folders" tab and drag your dummy MPG into the time line. The time line now just contains a VTS menu.
Another reason to use the older version). Make sure that jumppads are enabled in the "Options" menu (this is the default for v. Fire up DVDStyler, do NOT use templates to avoid the issues you mentioned. For PGCEdit my favourite version is 8.6 (last version which is not nagware).įirst you need to create your dummy MPG (1 sec length will do). 1.62 because this is the last version which does not contain ffmpeg so it will never try to reencode / transcode your source files. I found that an MPG dummy file works better than a VOB because most authoring apps will first demux the VOB file. The main trick is to use a very short dummy file to create the DVD structure. (This excludes DVDAuthorGUI from the compatible authoring apps) If it can only create VTS menus then PGCEdit is unable to replace the VTS titles. One restriction, though: The app must must be able to create a video manager menu. So far I tested it with DVDStyler, DeVeDe, AVStoDVD and Nero 6. Any authoring app which is able to create a decent menu and make a DVD structure on your HDD will do. The other method described by rjd0309 does work every time, I also find it much easier to use, and it is in no way restricted to DVDStyler. I also tried the method suggested by goonix, but I had no success importing the menu created by DVDStyler. Now I do what I was suggested by goonix few posts below (), use TDA then reimport the menus in VMG and modify the links if needed. I cannot create a menu with thumbnails in the VMG, it creates by default a VMG menu with PLAY and CHAPTERS (I don't remember right now, this is my Internet PC), then the thumbnails-menu, on step more, and a lot of work in PGCedit to change its behaviour.

I noticed that but I had no idea how to trick it or pgcedit.

The main issue was that most settings were forgotten when flipping back and forth through its menus and options, images were wrongly linked (image of movie 1 to movie 2 and 3 or viceversa, highlighted image was a black image instead of the original image and so on). Then open this newly created DVD structure in PGCEdit and replace all the VTS titles with your own title sets. The DVD creation just takes a couple of seconds within DVStyler (if your dummy file is short enough, a few seconds is all you need). For every additional title just add a new VTS, drag the same dummy VOB or MPG into this new VTS and delete the VTS menue for this VTS. Then drag a dummy VOB (or MPG) into the time line.
PGCEdit does not seem to like this approach, so you should delete the default VTS menue in DVDStyler and add a VideoManager menue instead. The only thing you have to know is that DVDStyler by default creates a VTS menue and combines several titles into one VTS. I decided to do a few more tests, and the method suggested by rjd0309 works very well. And frankly, the menues created by this app are a little too simple (=Ugly) for me. I suppose it was my version of DVDStyler (1.62 and 1.80.1, both set up to German language). I'll have a test run towards the week end.ĭid you get this Rapid Menue Writer to work for you? I gave it a try, but no success.
I browsed again the net, and I've found this GUI for PgcEdit and DVD Styler -> - its author said he had the same problem and no answer, therefore he designed this little proggy to do this simple job: a menu for DVD where the clips/movies are already present. I couldn't manage to make TitleWriter work.
