Once you have opened the Command Prompt you need to run dvdauthor.exe as: You will need to open the "Command Prompt" program from the "Accessories" sub-menu of the Program Menu. It is much easier to go back to the original file (or other backups) than to have DVDStyler generate the whole set of files again.ĭvdauthor.exe is the file that you need to run, but you will need to run it from the command line. You can also use this to play the scenes in a different order, including from different files.ĥ) I then manually run dvdauthor and create the final disc.ġ) it is probably best to make a copy of the files in the dvd-tmp and dvd-cache directories before doing anything else as I have found that DVDStyler will delete the files when closing which means that changes can be lost very easily.Ģ) Make sure that you the directory that you are telling dvdauthor to create the DVD files in is empty as it can cause you to generate an unplayable DVD if there are old video files there.ģ) keep a backup copy of the original dvdauthor.xml file just in case you make an error that is too hard to correct. If you want the viewer to be able to access the first part of the file (in this example the first 30 seconds) by using the playback controls on the remote or if you have another menu point that plays the same file from a different start point to the same end point then multiple commands can be added and, with "chapters" set to "1", will act like a normal title with chapters set (though don't set chapters in the command).This can also be used to cut out a middle section (e.g.

This will play the "entry003.vob" file from 30 seconds in to 3 minutes and 32 seconds and will then perform the commands (e.g. I then have DVDStyler generate the DVD files (having told it not to delete temp files).ģ) I then edit dvdauthor.xml (in the dvd-tmp subdirectory) changing the entry to point to the first instance of the file that I want to use so that dvdauthor will only put one copy of the file on the DVD - DVDStyler will have created two copies of the original file (unless you pointed it to a chapter of your original) giving them different names which takes up more space on the disc if you leave it as DVDStyler creates it.Ĥ) I then place a command in the command to point to the section of the file that I want to use here. You will need to know the time within the file of the start and end points of the section that you want to play.ġ) I set up my menus in DVDStyler, adding the file again, as a separate title (you can use chapters if you prefer as it's only to get DVDStyler to do most of the work for you), for each menu entry that I want to terminate at a different point.Ģ) After I have the menu setup and the titles as I want them.
