Are these "home movies" ;) of yours in AVI format? You need to join the two video segments first

Re: convertxtodvd
 
no you dont you add all files to convertx and it will automatically join them and create 2 titles in the menu. You can them use dvd2one to create a seamless movie only. Need more info on what files are on the cd

Open convertx drag both files into window set up under settings and convert

I make multiple title movies using convertx regularly

If you did want to join crop (ie timers ;)) or in anyway change the files I use TMPGenc xpress

You can disable the menu, and put in the 2 half's of the avi. it will then convert them into a seamless movie.

TBH I do not mind running the finished encode through dvd2one anyway as I like the end file to be iso

Nah it will convert into one DVD mate.

Just untick the "include menu" then drop the 2 half's in, and away you go.

this is what i do.

try inserting the first cd then choose the 'add video files' function in 'convertx' for the file(s) on that disc

then when that/they is/are showing in the tree view insert the second cd & choose the 'merge more files to titleset' function for the file(s) from that disk.

the hit the 'convert' button once all the files are shown in the tree view.

zing_deleted 25-04-2009 21:15

Re: convertxtodvd
 
and they are just avi's?

just drag the 2 files into the window and hit convert or click file add and browse to file 1 then do the same for file 2. Default location of finished file will be my docs

You can change the menu on it in options. If you set the otions right.It will play one title after the other. So theres no stop half way through a film ;)

I'm confused, now - the object of convertx is to burn a dvd from, e.g. one or several avi files - how many 'parts' it generates shouldn't matter when the final dvd is generated, it should burn as a playable dvd ????

trying it now, myself - have to say that 'adding' the files is easier than than the 'merge' option I mentioned earlier, but so far 2 cds are converting..

Re: convertxtodvd
 
Thats what I thought ,itconverted the first cd 1 then stopped then stared coverting the other one cd2 ,but when i burnt it onto a dvd it was in two parts halfway through the film it stopped and i had to start cd2 to finish the film ,it wouldnt go all the way through by itself cheers

ok I've tried it myself - 2 seperate avi files on 2 cds added to the titleset list were converted & resulted in a 'proper' dvd structure, i.e. audio_ts & video_ts once burnt to DVD - and played as one film.

What version convertxtodvd are you using Roy???

Sounds like it went to the menu half way through.

at the top click setting > menu > un-tick all the boxes and click ok.

What i "used" to do before i could use my divx player/xbox360 was drag the first part "cd1" then drag over "cd2" and click convert, but i also had it set to burn once converting was completed, so this way i could go and do something whilst waiting, and when ah got back the film was ready to watched.

LOL, The easy way isn't good enough for you :D

Herbert Schongle 26-04-2009 23:59

Re: convertxtodvd
 
I'd definitely recommend a divx dvd player. you can get them for like £20

you can put more films onto 1 dvd, and you also save loads of time.
