I send my findings with this link directly to Phyllis in Julu, but I
guess Terje may try this method on his sources too

Well, thanks - this is also really new stuff for me, so I have to take
it carefully from scratch this month ;)
Before my delayed BD50-RE discs arrives later this month, I can possibly
start learning using DVD-video/iso (DVD-5) and/or BDMV/udf structure
(BD-5) on DVD+RW media, although the latter seemed not to be supported
on my hardware UBD player.
I have had dvdauthor installed the last 5 years, but I never really got
started with using it

But at least now I have found and hopefylly got installed the DVDStyler
gui frontend and dependices for dvdauthor on my Leap 15.3/15.4a and TW:

Authoring a working HD-DVD using DVDAuthor?
main feature seems to be menu!
====
[..] forum, and many users are interested in creating DVD menus (which
DVDStyler does at high quality), but the videos should be HD.
DVDStyler has an experimental HD feature which builds on the
deprecated HD-DVD standard. The results of course do not play on
hardware DVD players, but most player software and even hardware BD
players can play them.
The problem is DVDAuthor. FFmpeg encodes and muxes just fine in HD,
but DVDAuthor limits the size of the result to the DVD limit which
means that a maximum of 9 VOB files at 1024 MB each is supported.
DVDAuthor does not throw any error message if the result is bigger,
but it will not continue playback once this limit is reached. The VOBs
in the VIDEO_TS folder all play fine, even the ones with a higher
number than 9. But for the IFOs these VOBs are out of range.

BIG SUCCESS...
This suggestion does exactly what I was after. My current test:
I used a 2hour 5min project with 4 source clips. Full HD at an average
bitrate of 27000 kbps and a max bitrate of 28000 kbps (wanted to
preserve a little headroom compared to the HD-DVD specs because ffmpeg
tends to overshoot the specified bitrates). Very basic VMG menu which
just lets me select the clip I want to play.
Result came out at 25 VOBs, size about 24 GB. I used a binary file
joiner to concatenate the VOBs so I had only 9 VOBs after joining. It
also worked when joining all the 25 VOBs to just one.
The resulting 3xHD-DVD Structure worked perfectly in MPC-HC and in
VLC. The menu did what it was supposed to do, even the chapters were
preserved accurately. Quality was excellent, the average quantizer was
below 4. And there was no need to use PgcEdit or VOBBlanker to repair
the structure or fix the IFOs.
In this test I used only 1 VTS for all the 4 titles. This is alright
because for HD output you only want to use an AR of 16:9. Just now I
am running a second test conversion where only 1 title per VTS is
used. Of course I will also have to concatenate the VOBs in every VTS
which has more than 9 VOBs. I am quite confident that this will work, too.
So it looks like this poor man's method to create high quality HD
results with elaborate menus has been established now. Big thanks to
Emulgator and Sir Didymus for your very helpful suggestions...
Cheers
manolito
//EDIT//
Yes, like I expected using only 1 title per VTS works well, too. Just
make sure that no VTS holds more than 9 VOBs, if it does you need to
concatenate the VOBs so a maximum of 9 VOBs is present.
Another thing I tried does not work, at least not with my hardware. I
tried to convert the 3xHD-DVD structure to a BD structure using
DVDtoBD Express. No errors, but the resulting BDMV folder would not
play correctly, neither under MCP-HC or VLC, and my old Xtreamer
streaming box also had problems. None of these players could play the
menu which DVDStyler had created and which was then converted by
DVDtoBD Express. I suspect that DVDtoBD Express is to blame, but there
might be other reasons.
