I have seen some good posts recommending authoring software, but while I am checking them out, I have a couple of questions. I just got an HP 200i and tried using MyDVD to create an anthology disk of sketches from various comedy DVDs.
The first thing I noticed was that MyDVD won't let me string these together and make bookmarks between them. I would like it to work like a movie where you can either watch the whole thing or choose a chapter to jump to. Once you jump to the chapter, it plays through the rest of the files. You know, like it had a book mark. FOr some reason, MyDVD doesn't support this. Niether does ArcSoft Showbiz that comes in the bundle. Why? Is this a technical problem or something?
Do any of the consumer level authoring systems allow this? How about an entry clip that shows before the movie comes up?
Any ideas about an inexpensive package that does this?
Also, is there an editor that is really good at nailing the beginning of a scene? The ones that I have tried so far are either non-interactive (you have to enter the location in bytes!) or very imprecise (the slider is only sort of acurate.) Helpful suggestions are sought.
Thanks
