S-VCD: How to create title screen?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Newbie question:

Other than using NERO, can someone suggest a way I could include a
simple title screen on an S-VCD? Nothing fancy, just a plain 'ole
static picture to occupy the screen until the viewer decides to start
the video.

Whenever I try to look up my question on google, I get a bunch of
tutorials teaching me how to create a photo album VCD. Obviously,
that's not what I'm trying to do.

I'll ring in on this one.

I recently did a training DVD for a client. The total project size ended up
being about 600 megabytes, well within the CD-ROM limit and leaving much
unused space on a DVD.

We did the project in Adobe Encore DVD with motion menus, navigation et al
as if it were going to be a DVD.

When we output it, we put a CD-R in the burner and told it to burn away. I
believe we changed the project or disc settings to reflect the new disc
size.

What we got when the burn finished was a disc playable in ALL the standalone
DVD players and DVD-ROM drives we tried - as if it were just a "mini-DVD."

Hope this helps...

Chris

any DVD authoring software that offers S-VCD could do this-- Pinnacle
express DV is one that comes to mind.

look more at video apps, either editing apps that also burn or dedicated
DVD/vCD burning apps that do only video.
