I have got the avertv capture card and have used it to tranfer vhs to dvd, the card saves the film in mpeg2 format with excellent picture quality for a one and half hour film it creates a 1.8gig mpeg file, is there any prog out there to make a menu which will run on dvd and run a mpeg file like vcd ones. I can't seem to find an encoder to enable me to use such progs as spruceup ect these will not recognise the mpeg format created. in fact I would like to use the file made because its a cracking picture, I just need something to auto run it on a stand alone dvd player.
at to moment I just write it as a data dvd and in the stand alone player I have to search through the root and folders to find the file to be able to play it.
and I would like it to autorun for ease, is there anyone out there who can offer me any help, many thanks

Hi Trev, I have the AverTV card and I have used Ulead VideoStudio to to make menus on my vcds, I should think it would do the same for SVCDS and DVDs, I just add mulitiple copies of the film to the editing track and set the in and out points etc. You can download a free trial version from www.ulead.com.

thanks guys for your imput, i have tried writing a vcd menu to kickstart the file but the standalone player knows that it is dvd media in the machine and refuses to start with a vcd menu, on vcd's no problem but you can't get 4 gig on a 80 min cd,thanks anyway

Ulead DVD Workshop is actually better at this But yes that is easy to do with the Right software....
