Dilemma about splitting scenes from DVD content. Opinions please.
Hello all,
I'm using an adult CMS for the site I am building and the content I have comes from full DVDs, ranging from 1 hr to 3 hrs long. Now the adult CMS lets me split a DVD movie into scenes by inputting a specific time, but the time inputted must stay the same for every scene (ex. For a 1 hour long movie if I input 30 minutes it will create 2 scenes both 30 minutes each). However, it won't let me choose a custom length for each scene (ex. Make the first scene 25 minutes and the second scene 35 minutes).
The first scene in the DVD could be something like 9 minutes and the second scene could be around 25 min. Thus, if I input 30 minutes for the scene split feature, it will play all of scene one (9 min) up until the 21 minute mark of scene two before stopping. Then the final 9 minutes of scene two will play in the following 30 minute split and continue on to the DVDs third scene and end when the 30 minute mark has hit. What this basically means is that if I offer split download to customers I can't split scenes custom length to fit the actual scene itself, although I've seen plenty of sites that offer full DVDs with each scene of the DVD being a custom length (23:22, 34:11, 5:12, etc...) so they start and end at the right moment.
I'm wondering how to go about this situation since I already spent some good money and time on the CMS itself and I don't have time to do a custom CMS. I figure my options are the following:
1) Go through my content again and edit my videos so that each scene from a DVD has its own separate movie page.
2) Just leave the split download the way it is and hope that people won't mind that the split download section showing 'Scene 1' will sometimes show scene 1 and half of scene 2 from the DVD, for example.
3) Just offer whole movie download and put thumbnails on the movie page showing the minutes and seconds each scene from the DVD is supposed to start.
Is there anything else I could do?
I appreciate any input from the board. Thanks.
