With the Shuttle Pro can you still have the mouse connected and usable??

Thanks,

Madmikey,

Yes, you can have the Shuttlepro hooked up via USB and a USB mouse. Both are available. WinXP sees my mouse as a "mouse" in device Manager and the Shuttlepro as a "HID" human interface device. No conflicts here, and I'm glad I bought the Shuttle. Its fast, and you can change all the buttons to exactly what you want.

Yep, I position the Shuttle Pro and the Mouse side-by-side and switch back and
forth depending on what I'm doing. The Shuttle Pro hooks up to yoyr USB port.

Why did it take 9 hours to render in DVDA? Because of the animated buttons and menu background music?

Wow, that's a long time. I've never created a DVD with motion menus or buttons, nor have I added background music in the menus.

Sounds like a nice DVD.
