Dave, you're one step short of your goal. You need to "author" the files in
software like Adobe's Encore, Sony's Architect, Sonic's MyDVD, or DVDit or
DVDLab...it's a pretty long list these days of applications that will write
the file set for DVD Video. This is the process by which you create menus,
play buttons, background audio and so on. If you explore the files created
for a set top player you'll find Video and Audio folders (audio is empty)
with VOB files, and others, familiar to the consumer player. They are
created in the authoring process, by importing the MPEG-2 or M2V/WAV files
and building a menu around them. I use MyDVD for this. It's inexpensive,
easy to learn and the results impress the average viewer. If and when I
have the call for more commercial DVD output I would move up to something
that gives me more control over play button placement and so on, but for
very low cost MyDVD provides "first play", Dolby Stereo audio (AC-3),
motion backgrounds, motion buttons, background audio, and you can create
your own backgrounds in tools like Photoshop. More than you ever wanted to
know?

Hello Folks
I am new to this group & like a lot of others I am trying to back up my
old VHS tapes to DVD.
I manage the capture ok, ending up with 4 25 minute long AVI files of
around 5Gb each. I converted each of these files to DVD & got 4 M2V file
plus their associated WAV files. How do I write these to a DVD disc so
that they will play on my DVD player? I just wrote them all on the disc
& it started playing the first episode but no audio.
I multiplexed the files into 4 MPEG-2 files & wrote them on to a DVD
disc which plays on the computer but not on my DVD player. Using
DVDSanta I now have a useable DVD disc but it seems a bit basic.
Hope this all makes sense, basically, what do I do with the M2V & WAV files?
