For each of those titles, you might have one or more different video files. is closed immediately after a write operation. Possible values are:

Once all the chapters have been added to a title, close the title by setting the ltDvdWriter.TitleBreak property to TRUE.

If TitleBreak is set to FALSE, the current title will stay open, and each conversion will create a chapter The name for each individual video file on a DVD. For example, under the title "Water Skiing", you might have the chapters "My first try," "My first wreck," and "My first jump." in the current title. The chapters are stored in temporary files in a different folder than the DVD image A set of files that contain all of the video and audio content for a DVD, organized with a table of contents (optional). See also: Title, Chapter, ISO Image An ISO image (.iso) is a disk image of a file system. It includes data files that are contained in the ISO image along with filesystem metadata.

If the convert object is destroyed or the output type is changed before TitleBreak is set to TRUE, the temporary files will be deleted and nothing will be written to the DVD image folder.

If TitleBreak is set to TRUE each conversion will create a new title at the end of the conversion. Also, if the moment TitleBreak is set to TRUE, any temporary files created by previous conversions will be merged into the same title. Each converted file will appear as a different chapter in the same title.

For example, this sequence:

TitleBreak = VARIANT_FALSE

Convert File 1 ' convert file 1 as Chapter 1

Convert File 2 ' convert file 2 as Chapter 2

TitleBreak = VARIANT_TRUE ‘ Create Title 1

Destroy the converter object

will create a DVD with one title containing two chapters

But this sequence:

TitleBreak = VARIANT_FALSE

Convert File 1 ' convert file 1 as Chapter 1

Convert File 2 ' convert file 2 as Chapter 2

Destroy the converter object

will not create anything.
