I've burned quite a few VCDs successfully at this point. But I keep
running into the need every once in a while to separate what one can
push the next button for which is different from what would appear on
the menu. i.e., a menu would ideal have only 2 items listed on it,
yet with a total of 7 "chapters" one could skip to.
It seems to me, though I'm not 100% sure of this yet as still a
newbie, that one burns individual tracks onto the CD-R and that that
is what Nero detects and puts in the menu. In other words, if one had
these 2 vids with 7 chapters, was being 3 "chapters" long and other 4
"chapters", the menu would show 7 items rather than just 2 with Nero.
Is there a way around this?
I can live with this, if not. What I've done in these cases is not to
put a menu at all. It means a bit of a workaround as I then can't
burn the the mpg files directly but usu. have to add some sort of
title pg so that each time I press the next button, I know what the
upcoming section is. So in essence, there is no menu for this VCD but
each segment has a fade in and fade out to a title page with "Warmup
stretches", "Workout", "Cooldown" titles, etc., etc., since I can't
seem to have just a menu with "Workout 1" and "Workout 2" on it since
all 7 segments show up. In order to have that just 2 show up in Nero,
the 2 workouts have to be 2 continuous files instead of 7, as it
stands now. So this means no way to easily get to next portion of the
VCD.
Anyway, I'll either get a yes or a no as to being able to do this and
yes, I know having a DVD burner would give me that capability but
that's a long way off. Once I can afford one, I will get one.
However, in the meantime, hope there's a way to do this with VCDs.
Thanks!
