I have about 30 hours of MPEG files that I imported from VCR tapes that I would like to burn to DVD. I can just "copy" them to the DVD as data, but I thought it would be nicer to use Roxio to create a Movie DVD. The problem is that MyDVD wants to re-encode the entire MPEG file before it burns it, which is way too time consuming. I already spent I have no idea how many hours importing them, and I don't want to spend the same amount again just to get them into just another format.
Basically what I want is the menu structure that goes with a MovieDVD that will work with a series of MPEG files. That way I would only have to encode the Intro that went with the menu, the rest would be straight MPEG. It would cut the time from probably 2.5 hours to encode and burn a 4GB MPEG to maybe 30 minutes.
Am I smoking something strong or is there a way to do this ?
Thanks
Jack
Oh, and did I mention I have another 20 hours of VHS to import ?
