Intro Media Glitch

I'm on DVD Architect Version 7.0.0.100

I haven't had any issues up till this point, and have just started burning Blu-Rays. However, I've recently encountered an problem where the Start Media/Menu will start several seconds into the video/menu when played on a Blu-Ray Player. It works perfectly fine on the computer, and the media is being burned onto the disc, but it still starts several seconds into it when in a player. I've tried everything I can think of, and since my projects rely heavily upon introductory clips, I really need to find a solution. Thanks.

Have you tried it on more than one BluRay player?

Do you get the same result when you play the disc on your computer?

Home-burned discs don't always play nicely with DVD and BluRay players. But it has nothing to do with the software that creates the disc. It's the nature of home-burned discs -- which use a whole other system for burning discs than commercial DVD and BluRay companies.

Can you post a screengrab of the iintro media timeline in DVDA? And like Steve says, try another player.

Yes, I have tried it on more than one Blu-Ray Player, and it's been the same result. It's only a recent issue. It used to work fine. It plays like it should on the computer.

 

Here's the timeline.

Do you have a button on the intro screen? I was curious what that retangle represents.

Yes, it's a hidden auto-activation once the menu finishes, redirecting to the main menu. I used to have just the video originally, but I've had the same problem either way.

You shouldn't need that unless you want to go to menu before the end sometimes. But I don't think that is causing the problem either, was just curious. I don't know a fix but I know a workaround. Create a short mpeg of black,, use that as your intro and then end action to your original intro video. Just a workaround not a fix.

Ok, I'll try that, thanks.

It's working, thanks!

@GeekyTraveler I never had this problem before your post, but today i did. The first few seconds of the intro video did not play. I discovered what is causing my problem and wanted to see if you had the same situation. i run my DBD/Bluray thru an A/V Receiver, Denon to be exact. It apparently takes a few seconds for the reciever to recognize the signal. By that time, seconds of video have played. I played the same disk on a different player with direct connection to TV and everything was fine. Just wanted to follow up.

As far as I know, the hdmi I'm using makes it pretty instant, but that is a good thing to keep in mind for future discs.
