That worked great.

Thanks manolito!

Glad I could help...

Using VDub instead of the internal player has another big advantage if you want to edit out commervials from your source video. The internal player only lets you cut off a chunk at the start and another chunk at the end of the clip. With VDub you can edit out an unlimited number of segments and then save the edit points in a VCF file.

Once you have this VCF file you can use a tool called VCF2AVS which converts the edit commands in the VCF to Trim commands for AviSynth. Paste these Trim commands to the end of your AVStoDVD AVS script, and all edited out commercials will be gone without any audio sync problems. Get the latest VCF2AVS from this post:

Trying AVS2DVD with Windows 10.

If I preview a video during menu creation using the builtin player, I get no video. The numbers increment but the screen is blank.

If this can't be fixed, please suggest an external video player that can show frame numbers during play.

Regards

Try MPC. I used MPC portable as I have this annoying minor issue with Windows 10 as well or stop the preview and start it again then it works

It runs from where you put the folder, just tell AVStoDVD to use the external player

Let it auto-extract the folder to where the file was downloaded, then simply copy/move that folder to where youw ish. I have it in the AVStoDVD folder as I use the portable release of AVStoDVD

Hi manolito - still working A2D?

There is a strange problem I'm looking at on videohelp, on certain cases of the input file containing (apparent)
compliant streams. There is an issue during the demux, the only clue, a line missing from the log that should be there
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/...35#post2638162
Once this occurs the chapter points are not picked up.

If you save the m2v and ac3 from these "bad" files and give them to A2D as the source everything works.

I was wondering if you'd seen it before or if you had any thoughts --
regards,
Dave

EDIT manolito, I just read your recent posting, wishing you all the best for the future

Hi davexnet,

good to hear from you after a long time. Unfortunately I can no longer give any advice concerning computer software at all, those times seem to be over. I do not even understand the stuff I wrote myself just six months ago. See here:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...17#post1958117

I noticed that over at VideoHelp you are doing a great job providing support for A2D, please keep it up. This is a great software, it does not deserve to die just yet...


Take care
Manolito

Hi manolito,
thanks for the kind words, not so many issues come up with A2D these days, but I try to answer them
and help out when I can. On a personsal note I wanted to say I really enjoyed the energetic back and forth

Hello, to make my dvds i use avstodvd since several years and i am very satisfied with it. But i have a small problem when creating the menu. At this moment i am creating dvds with 20 titles-titles labels- on each dvd.
I use the static menu.
If i edit the menu, each title label has a default value of 20 in the height case
i wish to change this 20 value and the basic way is to do the change by editing each of the 20 title label one after the other.
so my question is: in what folder of avstodvd program is the title "label heiht" value? If i could change this default value i will no more have to do the change in the 20 "title label height" one after the other.
I looked in the menu template -labels.ini- but there is no height value.
thank you for your attention
