#1. Can an existing menu on an existing DVD be recovered from the DVD using DVD Architect or Vegas? Last week, a disc came in for replication which the client had noticed a misspelling in one of the opening titles. Could I fix it? As it turned out, with the client's need for supper short delivery time, the only possible way would have been if I had created the original master and still had it on file. I didn't do the original, so no source files, not to mention the client really didn't want to add more costs to the project, so it went out as is. Not sure why they didn't go back to the master provider who should have been able to turn around a new master fast a little or no additional cost, considering they misspelled the title in the first place.
The question though is, without source files is there a way to recover the existing menu from a DVD to put on a corrected DVD. There was nothing wrong with the menu, just one of the opening titles in the program. Had there been enough time, and had they been willing to absorb the extra cost, I could have imported the disc into Vegas fixed the title (where the word was misspelled, was over black so I could have flown the corrected lettering over a black field just over the bad letters) and reconstructed the DVD, except for the menu. Is there a way to do this sort of thing with DVD Architect?
#2 Can DVD Architect do fancy menus? This might be one of those things where you can of course silly, just look in this menu or that help file. It that's the case please point the way. A couple of other DVD's that came in for duplication had some interesting features when you selected a button from the menu. One just dissolved away into the movie. The other one swirled away in a flag. That was particularly neat considering it was a disc about a marching band, and the flag was one of the ones carried by the color guard. Is there a way to do that sort of thing with DVD Architect?
