One DVD I tried had 3 titles, all of them 5 minutes long. Those titles were conversions in CX2D of videos of unchanging static scenes like you get in a slideshow with each slide shown for 5 minutes. It was created to quickly test for menu problems and the total size of the DVD was only 158 MB so may...

Anyone else having this problem? It gives a message that no valid video media is found.

I wonder if it is a 1 GB restriction on total file size on the DVD. Anyway, it restricts using test DVDs with short files used to test for conversion problems for example.

That looks great to me, serves my use, look forward to the stable version.

Thanks cedric.

Works great, accepts all my AVCHD folders now. Thanks cedric. There are still a couple of minor concerns though for vid cam users. The program automatically merges all clips taken during a day into one which is a good idea IMO. But there are usually some that one might not want to include. This isn'...

AVCHD Editor does accept the new structures but Ctrl+K gives a nothing found message.

Will upload some of the new structures later tonight along with a text file explaining differences.

Thanks cedric

Thanks for the speedy update! The new version did allow me to load all playlists in the AVCHD folder I sent and I can select which ones to convert. But those playlists are out of order as shown in the image below and they convert out of order. They should be arranged with 6.6 first followed by 7.3, ...

Ok just saw your edit note, will send.

Thanks cedric

The support tool won't let me select a folder, only files. How can I send the folder? Note that my files are mts not m2ts. I will delete all of them except the 00003.mts which is essentially zero play length in order to keep size down, I'm on dialup IS. Maybe you can get some file header info from it.

Yes the same 6 files/

OK, Ctrl+k in the editor keeps only the 6 files converted.

In which program?

The editor picks up all files, see the screenshot.

This AVCHD folder is from a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 stilll cam that records in AVCHD Lite/short. All 9 cpi files are in the CLIPINF folder and all 4 mpl files are in the PLAYLIST folder.

When picking the AVCHD folder shown in the image, only the files in the 00001.mpl playlist are converted.

How can I get all files in the folder to convert?

It is necessarily long in order to overcome preconceived biases of users not familiar with CX2D‘s unique method of con...

WARNING October 23, 2011: CX2D version 4.1.12.352 and later generates menus with different durations than specified in the template INI file.

How you make your background AR = 16:9 depends on preferences, programs you have and what you are comfortable doing. It is simpler for me to use a graphics editor for still image backgrounds -- there are several good free ones including VSO's Image Resizer. I usually crop the image to 16:9 as shown ...

A good easy to follow guide for changing the menu aspect ratio in the IFO files so a menu generated at 4:3 aspect displays at 16:9.
