Gotta know how to edit existing DVD menus...quick

[CZroe]

I have a decrypted DVD image on my hard drive which is mounted to a virtual drive with Daemon-Tools. Is there an editor which shows the DVD structure allowing me to edit it manually? I want to split the content manally between two or more discs and add "Insert Disc [x]" messages where applicable.

Menus appear to be a collection of slightly-programmable "hyperlinks". Is the code simple, like HTML?

try vcdhelp and look for links on DVD Authoring.

Err, it's not something you can get done "quick"

http://www.doom9.org might help, or the link above.

In general, re-authoring a DVD is a bad idea. Causes many problems.

There are so many "authoring" programs, which ones allow you to use existing content? Which should I try first?

Is there a visual editor which allows you to replace the target of a menu "link"?

Try in the Software forum. I've not yet reached the point of creating my own menus but I would imagine the ULead Media Studio, Adobe Premier, Pinnacle DV Studio, etc.

Looks like I left my account logged in on my brother's PC (He posted using it).

Anyway, he's not talking about creating his own menus, but using the originals and simply pointing the "links" to a clip that says something like "Please insert disc 2." Anyone can make the clip that says "Please insert disc 2" but he needs to know how to get it to play that INSTEAD of what it would originally play when clicked.

I think he needs to learn manual "IFO" editing or something...

Though a visual editor for existing menus would be nice...
