Nero Vision Express problems
 

NVE is a nice program to create animated menus and the like... but the only problem is that it tries to encode the KVCD stream once again :x

is it possible to switch off the standard compliance anywhere? i can't fin the button anywhere :P

Unfortunally it is not possible (or like you I never found the button :-).

hehe! :P i will use it for some small videos then... ;)

You can do your menus as easily with "tmpgenc dvd author" also.

Sorry if I re-take this old thread.
I came across with Nero Vision Express (v.3), and liked the easiness to make menues for my KVCD (I have several shorts I want to put together in a CD).
- Isn't there yet a way to make it accept my streams without reencoding?
- Can I switch it to accept non.standard streams?

Dialhot
how can I make a menu for my kvcds with TMPGenc DVD author?. It complains about my streams, and I just can manage to output DVD format.
How can it be done?.
Thanx

Your videos must be 100% DVD compliant. That include GOP no longer than 15 and resolution VCD / 1/2DVD or D1 only/
Else you must use DVDLabPro or fool TDA with DVDPatch to make it see your video as standard.

Dialhot, sorry because I explained bad myself.

I don't want to make a DVD menu but a VCD menu. The only tool I know can be used for that is VCDeasy, but I find it too confussing (even I managed to do several VCD with menues earlier).
After taking a look at NVE, I thought it could be very useful, but it isn't because it reencodes frames to make them compatible with standard, and screw them up.
And I don't know how to use DVDlab to author a VCD menu, is it possible to be done?

None of the DVD authoring softwares can do VCD menu of course. But very basic menus can be done directly into Nero Burning Rom (just a little "selection" menu based on thumbnails or title list). And in this one you can unselect VCD compliance.

Thanx Dialhot.

The thumbnails that Nero Burning Rom selects for the menu are just the first frame... black frame in most cases :( .
This has been improved in NVE, where you can select not to employ a black screen.
I hope they'll add in the future the option to avoid full compliance in future versions of NVE.
By now, I'm employing VCDeasy as I used :roll:
