small little question

[vibe]

i have these xvid episodes on my computer, and ive seen a article saying you can have menus and stuff. is that only to work on your pc or can you have menus on a dvd player that is capable playing xvids like the phillips dvp-642

You can add menus and such with TMPGEnc DVD Author (A different program than TMPGEnc) but, first you must convert the .avi in to a compatible compliant DVD structure.

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - You can use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this.

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish).


**If the combined file size of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink to compress it down to fit on your recordable media.


If your operating system (O/S) is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode - Tutorial Located here on how to do this: http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...453#post221453

no the article didnt say anything about converting, if it involves converting than i dont think its worth it

If you are referring to "Hobbit's DVD Launcher" (or other similar programs) - although it's capable of creating a menu for .AVIs on both CD and DVD, the menu will only playback on your PC...
