New Tool: ShowBurner DVD Burning [with menus]

[pBS]

yep..i found it in the original dvd-que from the zip so i deleted it..
the dvd-que.new *should* be deleted every time it's used so that shouldn't be a prob...but it's safe to delete to be sure..
haven't tested the remove function much, but it was working here..
[just forgot to cleanup before i zipped them up]

wiki download updated with all new changes..

[pBS]

It's in the dvd-que.new. Can i delete this one as well ??

I am "playing" with the PAL-mpegs, but i have some problems in creating back1 and back2.jpg. Have i Fuc... up the image-resizing (I have attached my dvdburn.bat)?

Everything else is working fine.....

what is
echo ******** Making menu mpeg.. >status.txt
..\thirdp~1\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -shortest -vframes 5 -loop -f image2 ?
i don't recognize that option for ffmpeg...try removing that..
attached, modified bat...

Hi pBS

Thank you

I wil try that when i get home, but i think the problems is in the image-resizing. It can't find back1.jpg and back2.jpg.
Can you run the steps in the "Make menu background" section(don't know if can when you use NTSC) ?

Hi pBS

Now i have tried your bat-file, and i still have problems in the image-creating process.
I have attached the log from where it tries to create the menu-images. I don't get any errors if i use your ntsc-batfile(Only it looks a little funny when i play it in a PAL dvdplayer/tv).

Can you get anything form the log-cut??

[pBS]

i completely forgot about this great tool...
originally it couldn't burn files,only images....but since ver 2.x it can do both!
good catch man...i thought you were talking about imgTOOLburn...by same people... it just uses Nero to do the burning...
this one is nice and has so-so command-line opts.. and no installer needed!
gonna be included with Showburner now!!!!
too cool...
Thanx!

I modified my burndvd.bat to use imgburn, since it's free:

"C:\Program Files\imgburn\imgburn" /MODE ISOBUILD /BUILDMODE DEVICE /NOIMAGEDETAILS /SRC "F:\dvdtmp\tmp1\VIDEO_TS" /DEST G: /LOG test.log /START /CLOSE /VOLUMELABEL "GBPVR DVD"

change the /SRC to where your dvdtmp is and change DEST to whatever drive your dvd burner is.

My only problem is the dvdque file never gets emptied out.

Really nice set of tools..makes a perfect DVD for me...archiving loads of things all day.



thanks
Mark.

OK, I've still not installed this tool yet, and I've seen a couple patches posted since my last post in this thread.

When you post a patch, is it moved into the archive linked in the first post, or do I need to grab the patches from the followup posts as well?

Oh- and I just saw on the wiki that there is now an installer for this tool, so expect patches get rolled into that. I must have missed the announce here about the installer being ready.

[pBS]

nope, installer not ready yet....tho i have rolled up changes in this thread into the main installl on the wiki...
[still working on new installer...old one had one for a while..but it's not relevant in this version.] show burner was on wiki for ages but no link on left in tree...
thats really weher to get newest version..

not really..it dosn't give out much error messages...
try resizing the texture.png to 720x576 manually, then see if the images don't work..i thought it would resize automatically, but maybe not]
