Longer credits than movie maker

[stiff mysta]

hi guys,
right i have about 20 short clips, and each of them has a paragraph of text with it.
so ive got a 20 clips, and a notepad file, with 20 short descriptions of each file.
well im trying to create a short scrolling movie with the description files init.
ive tried windows movie maker but it doesnt allow me to fit all the characters in.
i want all the 20 descriptions to be in one short movie file, any extention.. to be like credits when a movie ends, scrolling up slowly,
does anyone know how i can achieve this effect.

See the method in Save heaps of Mb in my signature.

Just make little bitmaps of them and add all 20 in the muxman video screen. See a time of about 10 seconds per screen (3 minutes all up). It won't scroll, but will look good anyway.



Regards

If you reauthor your titles in DVDShrink, you can use a mix of several compression ratios on the same title: begin by setting everything to automatic compression (the default), then select the credits with the Start/End button, and set the compression type to "custom ratio", and compress at the maximum ratio (ie the slider all the way to the left.) Don't forget to reset the Start/End points to the whole title. You will see "Mixed Compression" in the left pane.
Unfortunately, this method works only in reauthor mode.

Another method: if you are lucky enough, all the episodes are in the same titleset, and the credits are in a specific cell. If it's the case, you can reuse the same cell for all episodes.
Open the DVD in PgcEdit, then double-click on the first ep PGC. Locate the cell with the credits, and note his VOB/Cell ID.
Then, for all eps except ep 1, double click on the PGC, then click on the VOB/Cell ID button of the cell with the credits, and select "Pick an Existing VOB/Cell ID", and set the sliders to the VOB and Cell ID of the first episode.
When done, save the DVD, and process the titleset with FixVTS or VobBlanker to remove the unreferenced material.
Note that there will be a little pause before the credits.
