I have captured a couple of video files from my MiniDV camcorder via Firewire.  I have two AVI files after capture and I allowed the capture to create with Scene Detection.  It worked very nice and in "My Collections" I have these two files each with their own scenes broken out.

I would like to burn them to DVD and use each Scene as a separate title, but it will only take the whole file as a title and ignores the scenes all together.  It appears that if I want each scene I have to re-create each scene as a separate file then add each as a title in the DVD.  This will be EXTREMELY time consuming.

Can EMC 7.5 uses these scenes to create titles automatically?

What is a chapter and a subchapter vs. a title in DVD Builder?

I am having tons of problems understanding the terminology and trying to work with so many different programs within 1 suite.  Does this get better with EMC 8 or will I have the same issues.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

First, the terminology.   A title appears on the first menu in DVD Builder.   Chapters appear on the second/submenu on the DVD.

If you need to edit the video file, use VideoWave to edit and make changes to the video.    You can drag only the scenes that you want onto the storyline.   Then you hit Burn and DVD Builder will open.   Your video will appear as a title on the menu.    You can then Mark Chapters either manually or let the program do it automatically.

If you want the scenes to appear as 'titles' on the main menu, then you'll have to open VideoWave, drag the scene that you want onto the storyline.   Then Save the production.   Make certain that you know where the file is stored.    Now open a new production and repeat the process for the second screen.

You can then open DVD Builder, choose Add Title, make certain "All Media Formats" or "(*.dmsm) - Roxio Media Productions" is selected, then add the first title.   Repeat for the rest of the productions.

Hope that helps.
