Hi,

I am trying to create a DVD with a self made menu in DVDLab Pro but ran into a problem.

I have a set of AVI files of the Star Trek Voyager TV series (1 AVI per episode). I have converted 4 episodes to 1 .mpv file and a seperate AC3 audio file for use with DVDLab Pro. I have done this with a program called TheFilmMachine (with CCE as encoder for best results). This works just fine (it takes a while ... but hopefully it will be worth it ;-)

I have created a custom menu to select the 4 episodes with this menu
but the problem is when i try to compile the final DVD it creates just one big 3.99GB VOB file and then stops. The problem is that i use a FAT32 harddisk and cannot convert this into NTFS (because i use this partition for my Linux PC as well wich cannot write to NTFS partitions).
Because my final DVD file will be larger then the 4GB (=limit of FAT32) i am not able to create my final DVD.

Is there an option (or some other easy way) to automatically create the 0.99GB VOB files i normally see on other DVD's ?
I cannot find any option but i am a newbie with DVDLab Pro ...

I hope anyone can help me out ...

Thanks,
Jimmy

Unfortunaltly that is the way dvd lab works as it remuxes the streams it creates one large vob file then splits them into smaller 1gb files adding ifo's and bup's the only ways around it are
1. go back to your original avis and create a mpv & ac3 for each episode then create a dvd with 4 movies on it and a menu button for each movie
2.install an extra hdd of about 10gb or more formated to ntfs for dvdlab to use for its temp files
3. repartition you hdd adding a third partition formated to ntfs for the temp files

personly I would go with option 2 or 3 because the 4gb limitation is going to be an on going problerm with a lot of video editing work

Thanks for the fast response !
I (finally) decided that i indeed need (a lot) more space so
i bought a 300GB drive. I formatted it as NTFS and tried to compile my project again ... with succes !
However, a new problem has arise ... towards the end of the dvd the video is getting out of sync with my audio :-(
(audio is played back approx. 1sec before video)
I think i will have to dive into this one now ... :-(

The second post looks promising (about the NTFS write support for Linux). Thanks a lot for the link ... i will give it try as soon as i have the time (can't do that right now because my Linux pc is setup as a server 24h a day).

Hope i will figure out the cause of my audio delay.

So far .. thanks for the help and tips !

Cheers,
AbRBon
