First, to Darth Raider:

AVCHD isn’t my chosen format. I tried straight burning that to DVD-R+DL, but found out that won’t play on a DVD player, which is all I have right now. I bought the Blu-ray Trilogy just so I could have a clear conscience about getting the Despecialized films. As far as converting, I’m new at this too, but in my limited experience MKVs seem to look better and be easier to work with. But the main MKV version was too huge to burn on a non-HD disc. So I used MakeMKV to extract a smaller MKV from the VIDEO_TS folder in the DVD5 version of Harmy’s project. That’s about as much help as I can be. Anything else is past my know how.

OK, back to my project:

Spaced Ranger (or anyone else), I finally got the time to finish and upload it. In the zipped archive I’ve included the basic DVDStyler project file I want to use as the basic frame work for all three DVDs, just adjusting where needed for each of them.

Along with that, there are 3 folders, one for each movie. The only media that each contains is 4 JPEGs each that I’d planned to use for the Home, Chapter, Subtitle, and Trailers menus of each. They also each have the SRT files I’m trying to use for DVD subtitles, a TXT file with three YouTube links to original trailers I’d like to include, and a TXT file with a YouTube link to music I’d like to play in a loop on the main menu (though I haven’t figured out how to do that yet). I’ll use the whole music clip for SW and ESB and about the first 2:00 of the ROTJ music

Here’s the link:

The first time I tried to burn, the buttons didn’t look right and they all just played the main title. Then I adjusted a few things, tried again, and got a DVD that didn’t work at all.

Any and all help or feedback is welcome.

And also, once I have the settings fixed, would there be any advantage to saving as an ISO and burning with ImgBurn instead of burning straight from DVDStyler?

Let me know when you might have time to take a look, but there is absolutely no rush.

Thanks a MILLION!
