I must admit my ignorace as to terminology. I fought obtaining a DVD-
burner for years as I felt my CD-burner would do the trick for me. The
sneaky folks at DELL however included a DVD-burner with my last computer
purchase, so I bought a DVD player for the TV. DVD is a standard - but
within that you have resolutions which are accepted for that standard -
as I am in the US - 352x240, 352x480, 720x480 - depending on the software
- some also accept 320x240 as a standard as well as 640x480.
That was the basis of my question - I am looking for software that will
just shut up and let me put anything I want into it. In otherwords have
an expert mode that lets me do what I want. Most of the DVD software I
have seen is geared to be safe - so it works no matter what. Some of
them will even transcode my MPEG files adding AC3 for audio when it was
captured using MPEG-audio and/or LPCM - and no way to tell it not to do
it.
IFOEdit is perfect. As long as I present it a demuxed MPEG2 file it
could care less what the resolution is. It will create the VOBS needed
for a DVD burn. But I would like a fancy menu - instead of just a line
by listing generated by the player.
BTW - my player only accepts MPEG 1/2 files and I happy with that is that
is the only format I have ever captured in. It supposedly takes more
space than an AVI file does, but you can play with a capture and have a
decent MPEG 1 file at 320x240 be acceptable at a data rate of about 6
megs per minute with sound.
But this s off point - I am just looking for software that will be dumb
and just do what I tell it - say a window on the left of the screen where
it would prepare menus - let me drag my vobs over to it - and not check
anything - just create an ISO for burning.
If there isn't software to do what I want to do - then I guess I will
need to learn DVD structure and how to create a menu that points to a
location on a disk. I can run virtual ISO's and DAEMON to test how it
works without burning disks.
So again - if there is not dumb software - how can I learn to be smarter
and just understand the directory structure so I can create my own
pointers to where I want things to go on a DVD-disk?
hope this is a better explanation - as I thought I was asking about how
to create a non-standard DVD, with menus.
thanks
