Hi All,

I have DVDA-1 and currently trial test DVDA-2 and I'm itching to know if is there a way to do this with either version:

I would like to do a music video compliation of various video clips/songs so I have 1 large Mpeg2 file (720x480) that contains let say, 10 songs. Let say that all the chapters are complete and now I want to do a menu listing of the song name (and perhaps the group name/singer name). But I would like to have the menu page such as just selectable text of the songs on the left side of the menu screen and the other right side of the screen that would show a picture of the singers/group logo/or a short play video - 5 seconds of the selected song). The tricky part is that I only want to see the only pictures/short play video of the selected song only (from the text on the left side) and other pict/video are invisible. And as I move down the list, the right side picture would change accordingly.

Is there a possible (easy) way to do this within 1 menu page (either main or sub menu) and only using either version of DVDA. Or I need to restore to using some paint program to do layers (I'm pretty bad with graphics).

Thanks !

The problem is to change the image by moving over the buttons on the left.

DVDA2 you can have a button that would play using in.out points.
(chapters you might say)

You would have to use programs such as MENUEDIT and IFOEDIT
to make the buttons on the left autoselect.
You would have 11 menu pages. One default and one for each song
playing the 5 second clip.

While this could possibly be done it would be rather complicated
with DVDA.
