Making Multis for Dummies
PLEASE DO NOT PM ME FOR CRACKS/SERIALS OR WHERE TO GET THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS 
Also if you have a question please read this whole tutorial before hassling me with questions already clearly answered, I know this guide is for "Dummies" but don`t take the p*** 
UPDATED: 31st Dec 2006
-----------------------------
I`ve been trying to find out, like lots of other people on here, the simplest way to make a multi. Sure, there are lots of tutorials that don`t work or are too complex or use 17 different programs, its ridiculous.
For some reason the propeller-heads will not tell us knob-heads what to do.
After a lot of messing about I did finally make my first multi using just two simple programs, and I was well chuffed.
Most of it was automatic, and best of all it was fast, and I was well surprised at the quality maintained.
So I thought I would share this simple process.
------------------------------
At first glance there seems to be a lot to do, there isn`t really, and it`s all quite straight forward.
I have named each step so you can`t go wrong (yeah right).
Our target is to fit 3 retail quality movies onto one DVD disc with a menu.
These are the programs required:
CloneDVD2 (I used elby clonedvd2 v2.8.5.1 for this tutorial, if u using diff version there may be differences )
TmpGenc DVDAuthour V1.6
Lets do it:
------------------------------
1: Select 3 films to squash onto 1 DVD
Note:
My first problem here was CloneDVD2 stopped with an error whenever I used it on a film from my DVD-Rom drive. I have the 3 Harry Potter retails and thought they would make a nice test multi, but they all came up with an "unknown error". There was no protection on them of course and
there was no errors on the discs Hmm.
So I resorted to dvd files that I had just converted from some xvids I had downloaded on to my hard drive and they went thru no problem.
A note on quality. If you put rubbish in, you will get worse rubbish out.
Best bet is to use retail quality movies, as the quality loss is hardly noticable.
One other thing to bear in mind is that your 3 films should be all NTSC or all PAL or when you get to use DVDAuthor it wont allow it. If you have a mixture you can use divx2dvd or similar to re-encode to NTSC or PAL but sometimes the results suck bottom big time.)
----------------------------
2: Squash em
Our first mission is to squash the 3 movies so they will fit onto a 4.7gig dvd, most films of retail quality will
come out around 2 to 2.5 gig so we have to squish them so the 3 total less than 4.7 gig not forgetting to
leave some room for our menu.
There are other programs that can do this but the one that worked for me, and was very simple to use was
elby clonedvd2.
Let`s do it:
* Load up CloneDVD2
* Click on "Copy DVD Titles"
(note the big red "X" I painted on the screenshot)
*Click the file selector and select the Video_TS folder of the first of your 3 films
* uncheck any rubbish you dont want, like menus etc.
* Select the output size to 1400MB as 3 of these will =4.2 Gig leaving some spare room for our multi menu, you could push for 1500MB but it will be tight.
* Click Next
* Check/Uncheck audio streams, sub-titles whatever. Click Next
* Click on "DVD Files"
* Use the file selector to tell CloneDVD2 where to place the DVD folder (use a hard drive with at leat 5gig free.)
* Tick "Add Video_TS Directory to path" (Note the blue "X")
* Click "GO"
Once completed click the "Restart" button and repeat the process for your other 2 films, dont forget to choose a diffent save path for each film before you click "GO" at the end.
We should now have 3 films of the correct size ready to be authored.
------------------------------------------------
3: Author Em
* Load up DVDAuthor
* Create A New Project
* Click on "Add DVD Video" Select your first film`s Video_TS folder.
DVDAuthor will then display details of the movie, just click "next" then on the next screen click "OK" then a 3rd screen offers chapter/editing stuff, we can do that later if required, so click "OK"
* Where it says "untitled Track" it`s worth clicking on "Properties" and naming the film to save confusion later when making the menu.
* Click "Add New Track" (the blue "X", top left)
* Click "ADD DVD VIDEO" again and select your next film
* Repeat last 2 steps for your 3rd film.
Nearly there.
Note: Click on "Edit Clip" for each movie if you want to mess with chapters etc.
* Click on "Create Menu" tab, choose your fav menu and do artistic stuff.
* Click on "Output" tab, choose the place to write to, tick "create DVD folder"
* Click "begin Output"
After a while your new DVD will be created on your hard disk.
Test it out with PowerDVD (a dvd movie player ) or something similar,
checking all the menus work etc. then burn in your usual way (Nero burning ROM maybe)
to a lovely fresh DVD blank.
Go make a name for yourself as the new multi King.
But don`t blame me if you get 10 years in prison for flogging them 
This guide is for informational purposes only, it is illegal to mess with copyrighted works,
you should only use your own home made porno movies and send me a copy as thanks.
----------------------------------
Any input to make this guide better but not to make it more complicated is welcome.
Let me know if it works for you.
Regards
