Peter S Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have managed to burn (still DVD+RW only) using Video Builder with the PTE 5 menu creation and burner. I have also burned DVDs (after some help) using the VOB files and Nero with a Nero created menu.What I have not managed is burning a DVD so that a viewer can stop part 1, go back to a menu and start part 2, 3 or 4. I have tried and tried but failed so far.Can anyone please put me on the right track with either Video Builder or Nero?I am also puzzled as to how I can burn using Nero while I utilise a menu created in Video Builder. The Video Builder menu creation is terrific - it is so easy but the burning process is still a problem with discs that Nero has no problem with.I found a good tutorial on burning with Nero athttp://www.digital-digest.com/articles/Ner...uide_print.htmlI still did not manage to create the navigable menu inspite of this Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, I have found other programs quite complicated when it comes to creating menus, but Video Builder is very simple. You have to check "Return to menu after each title" in VB Project Options to make it work, though. Then the DVD player automatically returns to the menu screen after each title.Of course some programs such as Nero and Pinnacle do have other features, such as the ability to select scenes, etc., but VB has the essential menu capability, and may some day provide for other more-sophisticated options.

Peter S Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi Al,I had found the "Return to menu" option and that works fine. What I wanted to allow the viewer to do was stop during one part of a multi part show and then move to another part. I couldn't crack this but this evening I discovered that if I hit the players menu key when a section is playing, rather than the stop key, it does stop and return to the root menu. So I'm happy with this.I have also tried with Chapters on and off but this does not seem to have any impact. As far as I could see in Nero it was only a means of splitting one long video clip and I dont understand its function in VB. Have you find a use for this yet?Thank goodness for RWs.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't - I assume it's there for future selection of scenes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter S Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi Ralph,Thanks this looks like good advice. I do have the full edition of Nero and I have been testing the menu creation in Nero Vision 4. It seemed to offer lots of options for creating attractive menus with a wide variety of installed templates, backgrounds etc and the facility to use your own backgrounds .... but VB will probably be better all round when Igor has finished its development.I may well be better off just using Nero Burning Rom and not getting too involved with Nero Vision.Igor sent me a trial burner that does burn all formats, with one exception, so the burner team seem well on the way to a solution. It is obviously only a trial programme as it requires the video files to be put on the root of the C drive but it works.Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 PeterWell it is a work around for now for you wanting to use Video Builder menus.but VB will probably be better all round when Igor has finished its development.I have to fully agree, and as you are aware with the WnSoft team – it just keeps getting better and better. I am sure other menu feature will be added in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Peter,I just sent you personal message (via forum). Please read it.We've prepared for you new beta which probably will solve that problem with burning of -R discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
