Thanks Noah –

It sounds like you’re talking about editing. We currently do what you recommend but we are trying to reduce the time to burn to DVD. We are doing mass quantities of these so if we can have the menu and 15 minutes of content already on the DVD (we can auto burn the 15 minutes during the evenings so it doesn’t take day-time studio time) – then we can reduce our burn time during working hours by about 75% if only burning 5 minutes instead of the full 20 each time.

Or, think of it this way. Suppose you have a 1 hour movie and you want to burn 100 of these to send out but you want each DVD to have a separate movie title. You would have 100 unique DVD’s to burn. Would you have to change the movie title in the timeline and then burn the entire DVD each time? Or, could you have the entire 1 hour movie already burned, except for the title section, and then you just burn the new title on to the DVD and things synch up correctly?

Thanks for your help.

regards,
kris

The DVD lays out similar to a regular movie DVD – where it goes to a Menu and they can select from 5 scenes or simply hit Play to start from the beginning.

The first 5 minutes is what we are customizing specifically for them – including both audio and video. After the first 5 minutes, the remining 15 minutes are always the same.

Does that help?
