1 Top Folder to Process button (required)

Makes a list (the long "master list" at left) of all (checkboxed) media files anywhere below the selected top folder level.

Uncheck file type boxes to ignore specific types of media files, based on filename extension.

2 Get Times button (required)

For each file in the list, opens and measures the time duration.

Places running time to the left of the filepath.

3 Sort buttons (optional)

Sort by name or size.

Second click toggles sort direction.

4 Drag from master list to "bins" (8 list fields)

NOTE: If you start dragging from one list and don't drop it on a DIFFERENT list, then that file is deleted.

So if you change your mind in mid-drag, just drop it in any other field so you don't delete it -- you can then drag it somewhere else later.

You CANNOT start a drag and drop into the SAME field -- the file will be deleted.

You CAN drag from one of the 8 bins back to the master list.

When dropped, the file goes to the top of the list.

As you drag the files around, the running times (in minutes) update.

5 When the bins contain the files you want, in the order you want, with the total running times you want, click the "Create_Applescript" button.

Writes an Applescript to the desktop and opens it in Script Editor.

You can now edit the Applescript, comment out what you don't want to burn, copy parts to a different script, etc. -- or just click "Run" to make Video-DVD disc images.

NOTE: There are several things in the Applescript that may need to be modified.

Name/location of the VisualHub settings file (but included in this package).

The "automation.scpt" file must be in the proper location in the VisualHub application bundle (file included here).

Keyboard options (in any list field)

Cmd-Control-click to sort by Name.

Cmd-Control-click with Caps Lock On to sort by size (descending)

Control-Opt-click to delete a line.

Click options (in any field)

Double-click a line to play in the player at top.

Change Destination button (optional)

Disc Images are by default written to the desktop. However, there is a "Change Destination" button you can use to specify a different location before clicking the "Create_Applescript" button.

Clear Bins button

Clears all the bin fields

Does not clear whatever is in the master list

NOTE: Each time VisualHubbaHubba is closed, all the info isi emptied out of it.

The ordered list of files for each disc image is written to the Finder comments of the disc image file.
