I actually jut burned my first DVD-A's using wavelab this weekend. I went from the generic menus that u get in wavelab with my first and by Sunday I managed to figure out how to add the picture track. I got it so I have different images with each track etc.
I have been having a lot of fun with it to see what it is gonna do. Since I have been making them for me or just a few folks (I will seed the 24Bit FLACs) I have been grabbing killer images from the web and any digi-photos I have of the shows I am making the DVDs for.
anyway you could post how you did this exactly in wavelab5 please?
Well I followed the instructions that Scott posted above:
I'll add my .02 to the How-To above...
Go to File>New>Audio Montage>choose your sample rate... ( you can change it later by choosing Edit>Audio Properties)
Go to Edit pane>Mode pulldown>Mode DVD Audio
" ">Fade pulldown>UNselect Create Default Fades In New Clips (keeps WL from putting fades at beg/end of each track)
" ">Options pulldown>go to Edit Default Pre-gap>set to 0 sec (Keeps WL from putting gaps between tracks)
" ">Options pulldown>Select Global Auto Grouping (lets you move a track to the right/left and all tracks to the right of
it move in unison)
Go to File>Save Special(montage)>choose Save As Template (so you won't have to go through all this every time)
Right click anywhere in the lower timeline area and choose Insert File(s)...
When you have everything edited the way you want it, Go to CD pane>Highlight DVD instead of CD>Choose CD wizard (magic wand)>I
uncheck adjust pause between tracks>hit apply
{EDITED TO ADD Picture Track)
After all the Audio has been added. At the begining of the Track Pane is a drop down menu. Click on the drop down menu and choose "Insert Picture Track"
Then it Will create a Track under the Audio track where Images can be inserted. If you right click on the Picture Track it gives you an option to Insert Files...
Choose your Photo/s and insert them into the timeline as you want (If your DVD-A player supports it).
It gets a little tricky and you have to experiment a little. If you right click on the inserted photo it will give time in Milliseconds from the beginning of the track.
I noticed that depending on the selected Audio track you have highlighted when adding the photo it sometimes adds the photo to that Track and not the 1.
You wanted to be sure to dbl check it. (it will make more sense when it is in fron of you)
So with the above you can very easily add pictures to dispaly during each audio track or multiple (i havent done multiple yet. just 1 static image per song)
Also a suggestion if you want. Is if you have photoshop or something similar is to take each image per track and add name of track, or band notes etc.
{Back to Original Instructions}Then Check it by hitting Check (eyeglasses button)
If it checks out, Save the montage and move to the next part...
Go to File>New>DVD Audio Project
Click green Plus sign (add audio montage)>Navigate to your saved Montage from above and add it
Click Wrench icon (settings)>get your settings how you want them, add still pictures if you want
Click Orange Square thing (Edit menus)>tweak out your menu, add pics whatever
{Just a suggestion, What I have been doing is to take an image in to photoshop and add the Band name and Title as part of the static image to import in to the menu creation tool. this way you get a lot more flexibility in the way the menus look. You can move the placement of the menu selections in the wavelab creation tool to show more or less of the image depending on what you want to do}CLick Eyeglass icon (Check all)
If it checks out, Hit red CD icon (Create), and choose folder to output to
When done, Use Wavelab to burn the DVD using the folders that it output.
