Titlewriter Titlewriter is a utility designed to add DvdText, Menus Original/Generic to compliant dvd files. ------------------------ DvdText ------------------------------------------ In your computer you can "name" the dvd (Volume). Dvd players can't read this info. Titlewriter adds the naming ability to your dvd so that standalone dvd players (That support dvd text) can read and display "name" information. Dvd jukeboxes (Sony, Pioneer) use this "name" information in their menu systems for on screen navigation between dvd's. Very few commercial dvd's contain this info. Titlewriter supports "naming" Dvd Volumes, Titlesets, Chapters, Cells with "names". Actress/Actor, Director, Comments "names" can also be added. ------------------------ Menus --------------------------------------------- Titlewriter contains an option to add a precreated menu to a dvd (without reauthoring) allowing on screen navigation between Titlesets, chapters, audio, subtitles. Simple Menus for various "types" of dvd's are provided in MenuTemplates folder. Support is also included for creating/adding your own custom menus. Provided Menu templates use less then 1 Meg of dvd space. Titlewriter now contains option (Ver 1.71) to readd Original menus to Movie only compiliations. ------------------------ Automation --------------------------------------- Automation of Steps/multiple compiliations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help files for various steps/options are provided Titlewriter Files are Located At: http://www.dvdshrink.info/titlewriter/ On 6/2/06, Pat McCormick wrote: > I just learned that each item in a DVD Stodio project, menu, video > track, etc. can be exported and imported as an XML file.
