bool TitleBreak {get; set;}
True if the title will be closed immediately after the write operation.
False if the title will remain open immediately after the write operation.
Gets or sets a value that determines whether a title is closed immediately after a write operation.
After all the chapters have been added to a title, close the title by setting this property to True. If TitleBreak is set to False, the current title stays open, and each conversion creates a chapter folder.
Temporary files are not copied to the DVD image folder until the TitleBreak property is set to True. If the conversion object is destroyed or the output type is changed before the TitleBreak property gets set to True, the temporary files are deleted and nothing gets written to the DVD image folder. Whenever the TitleBreak property is set to True each conversion creates a new title at the end of the conversion. Also, the moment TitleBreak is set to True, any temporary files created by previous conversions are merged into the same title. Each converted file appears as a different chapter in the same title.
For example, the following sequence:
TitleBreak = True Convert File 1 ' convert file 1 as Chapter 1 Convert File 2 ' convert file 2 as Chapter 2 TitleBreak = True ' Create Title 1 Destroy the converter object
creates a DVD with one title containing two chapters. But this next sequence:
TitleBreak = False Convert File 1 ' convert file 1 as Chapter 1 Convert File 2 ' convert file 2 as Chapter 2 Destroy the converter object
does not create anything.
