As I understand it, seamless branching is possible due to the video being encoded and multiplexed together in a very specific way, which is why the only system that can do it is a proprietary Toshiba Encoding / Authoring system - somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Sonic have never annouced that Scenarist can do true seamless branching, otherwise they would have been shouting it from the rooftops. I believe they can do seamless multi-angle, but as already stated that is based upon the streams being the same length.
TFDVDEdit. Before I say anymore, Dr Gonzo, I love your DVD set, and so far it is the only set I have downloaded.
Now everyone I've spoken to about TFDVDEdit, have said that Trai Forrester is full of Bantha Poodoo, and is trying to build an elite 'club' with his software. From his website he promises that his software does alot, but then it's a case of "If you have a problem once you've bought it, TOUGH - NO REFUNDS". Don't get me wrong, I've read up on his seamless branching article, and have been excited by it, but various people I've then spoken to, who have both met the guy and been in the DVD Industry for a long time, have not said the nicest of things about him. Again, I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong.
Speaking of which, has anyone tried a 'seamless branching test', say for example a 10 minute segment around jabba in ANH?
Zion, seamless branching on not, between Laserman's video capture and your menus, this sounds like one niiice dvd set.
