Creating menu buttons with embedded video?

VideoPod wrote on 7/12/2010, 9:20 AM

I had a default set up in 4.5 that allowed me to create Menu Buttons with a portion of the video it was jumping to being played back. I think there was a 15sec limitation or something. I've read and read and read and I can not find out how to do this again.
I zapped all the 4.5 stuff when I upgraded so I'm hoping some one has a proper step by step method on how to create a button that will play back a defined chunk of video that the button is a link to in a standard menu??
Anyone?
Please?
Thank You.
BTW if you can cc me at murph@virtualpartners.com
That would really help.

Open the help file and look in the "Creating Custom Menus and Masks" section. It's all described there. Basically just set the button properties to the video you want displayed and set the starting and ending point to be played. Note that ALL buttons need to be the same length of video.

I've also published a book, available on Amazon.com, that's written for version 4.5 but also works for version 5 of DVD Architect Studio. The solution, as it says is the book, is just creating links in the Project Overview panel.
