DVD-Boy,

What I had done was put a "still" from the movie for each audio track so at least there would be something on screen while the music played.
Now I'm thinking of making one big ac-3 file. I think I should be able to put the length of the photo on the screen which would match up with the "track" playing. I could also put in chapter stops as well to skip around. Again, this is all hypothetical because I'm not sure if I can do what i'm suggesting. The other thing is that I'd like to just be able to have it stop after the one track and not play them all through. Again, all something to be investigated.


That should work, just create a video of the still for the duration of the audio, and you should be able to really compress the hell out of it as there is no motion. Coming back to the menu having only played one chapter is certainly do-able in DVD Maestro and DVD Studio Pro and probably in Scenarist. Maestro enables you to specify different end actions for each chapter, alternatively you could use playlists or stories to isolate each chapter as a seperate video and play them out seperately, with a play all function that just plays the full length 'movie'. Doing a quick check of the DVD Lab website, I notice they do Chapter Playlists in the Pro version, so all you need to do is make a number of playlists, which each consist of a single chapter of your full-length movie.

HTH

PS: On a related note, is there any chance of a few more seeders over at MySpleen - I've been away from the computer for a week and haven't finished downloading this yet
