Re: Reauthoring menus

You can do this with several programs...here's instructions using TMPGEnc DVD Author:
1. Open up TDA and select create new project.
2. Select add dvd file (if the source is from a dvd) > browse to the video_ts folder on the dvd and select ok > select the title and click next > click copy the video clip to data to the hd and select a destination folder on your hd that you want the file to be written to (this will create one large file extraction of the dvd, so you need at least 4gb free space).
3. Now you have one single mpeg file that contains an mpeg2 video stream and an audio stream in whatever format the dvd audio was in (dolby ac3, or pcm wav, or mp2).
4. Start TDA over and select create new project but now select add file to add the one single file that was created during the extraction.
5. Define start and end points and chapters.
6. Create a menu; there are different menu templates, and you can experiment with each. And if you have nero showtime, you can play the video folder once its output and see if you like the menu before you burn the dvd. Unfortunately, motion menus are very difficult in TDA so you should probably just avoid those and stick with basic menu.
7. Run the output to produce a new authored dvd.

IF you want to make it a little more fancy by adding music playing with the menu...Sony DVD Architect or DVD Lab pro will accomplish that.
