How To Author A Dvd With Multiple Titles?

This short guide will help you create a DVD disc that will contain multiple movies, and each of which may contain multiple video clips.

Tool: Womble EasyDVD

Step 1. Start a new project

Click the "New" button to start a new DVD project, and this will bring you to the Source window.

Step 2. Create the 1st movie

Womble EasyDVD has two levels of data management to organize a DVD project' video contents. The first level is Movie lists (titles), while the second level is Clip list. Each Movie has its own list of video clips, and each clip can be a single video file, or a whole or a part of a DVD movie, or a list of video clips (another Movie).

In the Source window, press the Add Movie button and follow the file open steps. With the two selected video files, EsayDVD creates a new Movie, names it as "Movie 1" and adds it to the movie list.

You can add more video clips to "Movie 1" by clicking on the Add video button and selecting more video files.

Step 3. Create the 2nd Movie

To create the 2nd Movie (title), simply press the Add Movie button again and follow the file open steps.

Now we have created a DVD project with two Movies (titles).

Step 4. Add Menu Pages

Click the "Menu" button on the navigation bar to select the Menu window.

The quickest way to add a DVD menu is to use the menu templates by double-clicking on a selected icon in the template list. We now have created two menu pages with eight chapters for one movie title.

You could add more to your menu with background image, background music, and motion video buttons.

Step 5. Preview

Click the "Preview" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Preview window.

The Preview lets you do a final check on the menu design before outputting a DVD folder. If you don't like what you see, you can go back to the menu window to make changes, and then come back to check it again.

Step 6. Output

Click the "Output" button of the navigation bar to proceed to the Output window.

Depending on the total DVD size and the amount of video re-encoding, an export job may take from a few minutes to several hours. At the end of the export job, a VIDEO_TS file folder is created which contains the complete DVD movie and the menu.

Step 7. Burn

Insert a DVD disc into the DVD writer, and press the Burn button to start the burning job.

You can also burn the VIDEO_TS folder created by EasyDVD to a DVD disc by using your favorite DVD burning software coming with your DVD-R/W hardware.
