    I use the program TMPGEnc DVD author to burn my discs.
    There is a box to input the disc label.Usually an abbreviated name of the movie,sometimes just DVD_VIDEO.
    It's the name that shows up in your "MY COMPUTER" view of your DVD Drive.
    Here is a partial command line code as i'm not done yet
    C:\Program Files\Pegasys Inc\TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6\TMPGEncDVDAuthor16.exe[PAUSE,5000;CLK,575,360;PAUSE,5000;EDITBOX,530,330, @DVDPATH@]
    This will run after DVD shrink has done it's job and TW has added the dvd text,and burn the disc for me.
    So if we can somehow grab the name of the source folder from DVD shrink without the D:\ that would work.

      Won't work - That is not an EditBox But a SystemListView TW EditBox command can't see it. You could wait a bit - Ecl can see and manipulate that Class. Or if you want to tinker with registry you could use the same trick I used in NeroExpressBurn. Why not just use NeroExpress I think it doesn't req. a liscence. And the code is written but you'll have to match up the click locations.

        I couldn't find a free version of nero express.
        No problem, I found a crude workaround that works for me.
        I'll just have to copy name to clipboard then using your CLK,RCLK,CLK, paste it into the box I need.
        I'll just have to manually copy the name to clipboard before I start each TW session.

          FA,

          I use the command-line mode of TitleWriter 2.001 to title/batch-burn several dvd at once based on their folder names.

          That works great for me but one thing I can't figure out is how to keep TW from creating it's UNDO folders. It seems like the "/B" option is ALWAYS on, even though I don't specify it on the cmd line. Can you verify this and maybe give me a work around to get it turned OFF?

          Thanks!

            That's the way its supposed to be. TW makes heavy modifications to the original Dvd structure - Especially during Menu creation/insertion.
            Smart coding will ALWAYS give you the option to UNDO your changes (if practical).
            Why not create add a command to delete those directorys if they bother you after burning (PS I Think you are loony deleting files without checking your final dvd)

            add this line to a ecl text file
            RUNPROGRAM, cmd.exe /C rd /S /Q @DVDPATH@_UNDO will delete that directory

            or this line in TW's 1 click area
            cmd.exe /C rd /S /Q @DVDPATH@_UNDO will delete that directory for currently loaded dvd

            And of course you will not be able to UNDO TW's modifications if it hits the fan

              Yeah, I've been deleting them afterwards, but the CommandLineHelp.txt reads:

              Heres the commands for TitleWriter in CommandLine mode

              /B Backup to default Undo folder
              to which one would infer that NOT specifing the "/B" would NOT make the backup, correct??? (Which now begs the question "Why does the "/B option exist anyway?" Maybe you could change it to a "/B-" in the next revision for "really no backups"...)

              I know you've added a lot of wonderful work in the menu creation areas and shell-driver functionality et al. But I'm old-skool and mainly just use TW for adding the TitleText to the VMG_TXTDT_MG structure for use with my changers as per your original inception of the utility. I've found it to do a *TERRIFIC* job in this area and have yet to have the need to ever UNDO the changes...

              Kudos on a such great utility! I just wanted to verify that I wasn't doing something wrong...

                Heres a beta
                /B NEVER
                overrides TW backup (in command line mode)

                  WAY-2-GO FA!!! I really 'preciate the overnight response! But I'm telling ya, if your ever planing on working for Microsoft you've got to learn to put little fixes like this off for at least 6 months or so... Shoot, people will start to think you really care about your user base's needs and desires...

                  Thanks so much for both this and TitleWriter in general -- really a cool and well done product!

                          Help! TW broke and creates invalid files

                          Greetings FA,

                          I've been using TW for quite a while with fabulous results. But then it "broke" and started creating bad files (the discs actually crash both my Sony changers , an 875 and 777). I upgraded to the current TW and the problem disappeared. But now the new version has broken also. I can't burn any discs and my queue is backing up.

                          Is this a known problem? I can post a file if needed.

                          TIA!

                            Never heard of this before - Programs typically don't "break" after a period of time
                            I would need to start by seeing the VIDEO_TS.ifo and VTS_01 ifo. of the faulty files
                            What settings are checked in the Settings?
                            And are you readding menu's Generic or Original?
                            Which Ver (s) broke 2.001,2.002 or prior
