Multiple movies on the same DVD

Post by Ridenour1 »

I have a number of home video tapes of football games (about 10-15 minutes each). I am trying to make movies of these games and put them on a single DVD, with titles for each game that I can click on to pull up the individual game. As far as I can tell I would have to create a separate video track to do this, however, I have not been able to figure out how to do this. I used to do this regularly with Roxio, but have nothing that I can find in VideoStudio to accomplish this.

Any help would be appreciated.

With each video of each game, when you have finished editing it, go to Share > Create Video File > DVD. This will create an individual 'title' for each game. When you have enough to burn to a DVD, then choose Share > Create Disc > DVD. Then you click on the top right icon in the burning screen which appears (Add Media), and you add each game video in the order you want them to appear. If you create a menu, it will have an icon or title for each game. (You can also sub-divide each game into chapters if you like). You can preview the menu to make sure it does what you want. Then burn.

The only thing you have to bear in mind is that using the above defaults, you will fit 4 x 15 min games on a single layer DVD. That is because the default uses a high quality bitrate of 8000 kbps. If you don't care about quality and want to fit more games on a DVD, then you should choose, in the Editing phase, Share > Create Video File > Custom. You use the other properties for 'DVD' but lower the bitrate. A lower bitrate means lower quality but more video. A bitrate of 6000 kbps will give you 90 minutes on a single layer DVD, and 4000 kbps will give you 2 hours. You will get about 10 minutes more per disc if you use either Dolby or mpeg layer 2 audio instead of the default (high quality but large) LPCM audio format.

Please view the following and "Substitute" the tutorial clips for your "Football clips"

Create a Ulead VideoStudio 9 Training Video.

Ignore the version number the procedure remains the same!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, however, I did not have time to work on this. This worked for me.

Thank you.
