command line arguments

Post by resago2000 »

are there any command line arguments to go straight to certain menus?

for instance. I want to create a dvd with multiple titles.
currently, I have to select the first one in Movie Wizard.
then I can't add the rest of the titles until I get to create disc.
Otherwise, it will get merged into one title.

is there a way I can go straint to the create disc section and add my titles and menu?

In other words, I want to skip the first area that lets me add files, and go to the second one.

Open the program in its Editor mode. Then, with nothing in the timeline, simply click on Share > Create Disc > DVD (if you intend to burn a DVD). In fact, with nothing in the timeline, this is the only option you will be allowed as the others will be greyed out. That will immediately open the burning module. Insert your titles, create a menu and burn.

Be aware, though, that if your titles are not already DVD-compliant, you are risking possible failure -- though some people can get the burning module to convert their titles as well as burn them, successfully.

If your titles are not DVD-compliant, it is better to first convert them (Share > Create Video File > DVD), then close the project, then go to Share > Create Disc as described above.

Not that I am aware. Maybe some programming guru may have an idea, though.

Do you really hate the 10 second (or whatever it is) start-up time for the main program that much...?! :roll: :lol:

And don't forget -- VS is primarily an *editing* program. The authoring/burning module has really only been added on for convenience sake. Movie Factory 5+ is the authoring program equivalent of VS, (with some editing functions tacked on for convenience). And even with MF there is no way AFAIK to do what you want.
