It's not possible to author a 3D menu with DvdArchietc pro 6.

But...
Has anyone tried to
1 - author a Blueray ...
2- Render 3D scenes corresponding to the menus we want with Vegas Pro.
3 - Do a fake blueray just to get the 3D m2ts files for the menus
4 - open the iso from the blueray image that has to get 3D menus
5 - replace 2D .m2ts files with the 3D m2ts files
6 - burn the iso

Of course, texts corresponding to menu selections will not display correctly.
I do not need text menus on those 3D menus (just empty buttons with actions).
So, could this trick work ?

Or
is there a way to author everything with DvdA Pro and then enter in the generated files from the iso, and do some kind of recodind of some files ?

Or Does Sony plans to allow 3D menus soon ?

Do not want to buy Power Director that allows 3D menus !

Kind regards.

I did try, it does not work !! : there is no menu over your 3D track

Replacing a .m2ts file in an iso is easy with WinIso (under windows, 20$)
http://www.winiso.com/

Or (free) under Linux (my method)

What I learned : I can easily replace one file without ripping the whole blueray again for non menu items. This works and is very fast.

For example, after rechecking your blueray you want to correct just a word in a text ending your track :
Use Vegas Pro , change your text, render the file.
Use DvdA with just this file to generate a temporary blueray iso file, extract the .m2ts file.

Last, replace this file by the one compiled in the whole iso with WinIso or under Linux.
Check everything is oK
Burn your blueray !

Please note that WinIso is blueray compatible. Ultra Iso cannot produce Blueray iso files.

Kind regards.
