2-3 second pause between clips in MF

Post by d1ms »

does anybody expierenced that? I added miltiple files/clips to MF and it is hard to view final DVD / AVCHD-DVD because it pauses for couple seconds at the end of each clip.

it it possible to somehow tell him do not pause or merge all clips in one?

thank you in advance

The common behavior with DVD, is that there is a slight pause between titles. A title being a movie clip, and a Chapter being a specific position within a title or movie clip.

There are some that mask this pause with an intentional fade-out/ fade-in. This way the viewer sees and knows you meant for this short pause to be there.

The only other way is to use just one Title (movie clip), that uses Chapters. Chapters will play continuously without pausing. The caveat to Chapters is that you can not have them play and return to a menu. Once a chapter is selected it will play from that point on to the end, unless the viewer presses the menu button on the remote.

thank you for your reply.

I being dumb myself, aparently I just need to click "join video clips" to make one clip instead of dozen small ones. Unfortunately, my MF 5.6 doesn't select all clips with something like ctrl+a, I have to manually scroll, select clip, holding ctrl, then move to another clip, etc... it is not easy with hundreds clips as you may guess :)

another way is to use Video Studio, add clips there and create one output file which then can be written with MF...

I also have exactly same problem. I am useing MovieFactory 5.6.
I have a lot of clips which I want to put into one DVD. So, I do join videos. And still, when I write to a DVD with this video, and then play the DVD ,I get pause of 2-3 seconds while watching the DVD.

I am not able to find a solution for this.

Any suggestion how to avoid this? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance
