Simple Menu Question

Robert W wrote on 11/4/2008, 11:27 AM

Currently DVD's I create in DVD-Architect have the following behaviour:

1, Select a Scene Selection menu
2, Select a Scene - For this example 'Scene 5'
3, When pressing the "Menu" button during playback to get back to that menu, the menu resets to put the cursor on the first menu item -i.e. 'Scene 1'. (Have I over 'menu-ed' the pudding here?)

Is it possible to set DVD Architect so that instead we have

3, When pressing the Menu button, the cursor is still on 'Scene 5'

Also is it possible to get it to automatically push onto the next item in a menu when an video has stopped playing. This would be useful for bonus features where the programme may only run for a minute or two.

If either is a hassle to do, requiring scripts or multiple menus to be created, I won't bother, to implement it. But on the other hand, if it is easy, I may consider it.

Any tips?

Cheers,

Rob,

Second question first: Sure, navigate into the item, go to the End Actions tab of the Media Properties window and set Destination so that it links to the item you want. The default is to return to the most recent menu. Or you could create a playlist.

First question second: It would involve using a script. The standard of highlighting a specific button when returning to a menu is to set and end action for the item being played. But end actions are not read until the item has finished playing, which doesn't happen if the user presses the Menu button.
