Editing DVD menu

A disillusioned by the extent of supply of pre-defined menu in the 'Street' 9 Prel version and refusing to be held hostage by Adobe 'More' offers, I decided to open the world of editing DVD menu.  I downloaded excellent PDF of Chuck Engel on the subject (is there an updated to version?-his discussion is centered around Version 2, although for the most part, his notes of this version on how to build menus seems to be quite applicable to Prel version9; for example, the basic syntax for naming layers has not changed).

One thing that I noticed when you browse the directory of DVD menus

Adobe Premiere Elements 9-> model DVD-> DVD Menu name

Is that most of the model structures use the dimension in pixels PAL SD (640 X 575) as opposed to NTSC (648 X 480).  Is there a reason for this?  There are models of skeleton for the main four formats (SD-NTSC, wide screen NTSC, PAL - SD and widescreen PAL) and it would seem, at least superficially, as the pixel dimensions PAL rather than NTSC pixels dimensions, would result only in a size slightly more big portrait of any menu that displays prepared in the framework of these constructions may deduce that the tops and bottoms of the menus made using construction PAL would be slightly truncated.

Of course, if we're still using text and graphics NTSC guides, isn't a problem.  My questions is: in most of menu presets offered by Adobe with its core product, most of them seems to use the pixel SD PAL rather than NTSC dimensions dimensions.

Someone has experienced difficulties with menus developed according to the definitions of the PAL and used in a NTSC format... incorrect menu size, strange apparitions, etc and much much more, why would have produced layer of Adobe package with so can PAL models menu if they were not used in the NTSC environment?

Thank you...

I got so into it, I have a jump strongly consider in the Premiere Pro arean and apparently the menu system it is somewhat similar to what we are discussing here.  Yes?

Menus in pre and again (the app creation than ships / installs with PrPro) are very similar. The difference is that still does no semi-automatic creation, so you'll need, say a main Menu, then as many Menus Scene_Selection, as it takes. There is no Menu CD-ROMs in again, as before. Menu naming conventions are much, much less important in yet.

The reason of ' all Scene_Selection Menus...» "is because you manually bind your buttons to your assets. Navigation is carried out manually, you need as much S_S Menus as you need buttons. Say you have 20 chapters (or 20 deadlines) and the Menu you have chosen no more, or have built, has 5 buttons scenes/chapters, then would need you 4 people. They may be essentially the same, except maybe a next and previous button. The first would not be a precedent (but only one button of main Menu), the following two would have a following and the previous, and the last would not have a next button. GER is part automatically, as it goes to market, or DISABLE these keys and creates the number of Menus S_S since only a 'master' in the Set Menu. In again, YOU do it. Although there are more "hand work", there is a lot more power. In the DVD plug., you can do almost anything in yet, where the pre is very limited. In addition, with a few creative "trick Tower," you can move a lot of restrictions the DVD specs. You will not have broken the rules, but if done correctly, will convince your users that you have.

If you migrate to yet, I highly recommend that get you a copy of the great book of Jeff Bellune, The easy Guide Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0-Focal, Focal Press. Yes, it's for an older version, but because it is still adheres to the DVD plug., everything in this book apply to Encore CS5. Now, the most recent still will have more features, such as Adobe Dynamic Link, which appeared only in one version of EncoreDVD 2.0, the version CS2 Production Studio. Also, the creation of comics has been added, but with a few exceptions, is identical with regard to the creation of a DVD. Jeff you how to navigate almost everything that can be done, and much, much more. The little "tricks" are worth the price of the book.

Good luck and happy creating,

  • Adding video to a DVD Menu

    Hello world

    I am trying to create a DVD Menu. I want a video to loop through the menu, but I can't find out how to do this. Do I have to make the menu as a video file, with the video file play on (say for example supported mov), and then create the buttons around the mov? I guess I have to configure the menu looping? Is to do with a file menu imported from photoshop, I use the layers as placeholders for my buttons anyway.

    See you soon

    Chris

    I am looking for a way to get the video in a box on a layer of photoshop.

    There is no such thing. It is inherent in the DVD specification. You can have only one video of BG with all the motion already baked in. As Stan mentioned, at best you can exploit the functionality of creating thumbnails of yet to an extent, but all the rest should be created in a publication / video editing program.

  • Time to DVD Menu Video DVD Maker is not the same when the DVD is played.

    I'm using Win7 x 64, Windows Live Movie Maker and DVD creation.

    I have a built in Movie Maker movie, I use DVD Maker to put it on DVD. I chose the theme of the "video wall" for the project.  I have a secondary video I use a background video and an MP3 track that I use DVD audio Menu.

    Simple details of the problem:
    My real video plays Fine, but my video 'DVD Menu' give me issues.

    Everything works perfectly when I "Preview" the film inside the creation of DVD. Background video and audio play in their entirety. However, when I burn the DVD, but the video freezes EXACTLY at one minute while the Audio continues to play in its entirety. I tried to make the video and audio of the exact same length 3 minutes, 14seconds.

    How can I get the video DVD Menu to play to an end with the audio track?

    Intricate details of the problem:

    Initially, I met a problem with the video DVD Menu from 15 seconds in the video rather than at the beginning and then a loop after about 15 seconds. The preview reflects, as did the test DVD I burned of the project.

    To resolve this problem, I modified two elements of the XML file that is used for my theme. InputStart Offset (I set to 0.0, then the video starts at the beginning) and the MenuEndTime for the intro (I updated 195000 to account for the entire video). With these values in place, the preview was able to display the video for its entire duration (at the same time as the audio track). However when I check the DVD on a DVD player, read it in Media Center, or even on a Macbook, the Menu of the DVD video background freezes a clearly mentions mark a minute.

    Examining the physical files engraved on the DVD that I discovered that the DVD menu appears as a video named VTS_01_0.VOB. I can see this video using Realplayer (and VLC) and the duration was EXACTLY what I see in the Menu of the DVD. The background cut video to mark it exactly a minute.

    The problem seems to me that the encoding of the DVD is not even including anything after this mark one minute for the background video.

    I've experimented with change other elements of the file XML in DVD Maker in an effort to solve the problem but have had no success. I currently suspect that the problem is NOT in the XML file for the project as it appears in the overview of creating DVDs very well. The problem may lie in the encoding settings used by DVD Maker to burn media physically.

    Someone saw values that I need to change and where for this project to work?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • DVD menu in still DVD markers in the timeline

    How can I use the DVD markers on the timeline in Premiere Pro (therefore also in again) to generate a DVD menu in Encore. In first pro 2, the included DVD creation DVD markers are presenting as a DVD menu automatically.

    Although this starts to become squarely in the wheelhouse of the Forum yet, let's try this.

    No drag and drop a marker. You open Menu in the editor Panel of securities (Dbl-Click top in the project Panel). Here, you can link your buttons for the chapter with the Pickwhip (little spiral icon), located in the properties panel, in the link.

    Hope that help, if not, maybe a MOD can this branch to the Forum again, which is very good and very active.

  • Web - URL to DVD-Menu link

    Is this possible with Encore CS6 to link a URL with an element in a DVD Menu?

    When you insert the DVD in a computer or a DVD player with webfunctionality and by clicking on this menu item, the web browser with the specified URL must be open.

    Thanks in advance!

    N ° if you export as flash, burn the Flash disk, and open on a computer, then you may have web links. But this isn't a "DVD".

    You can have different content on a DVD (in the ROM section) that computers can access, but it does not interact with the program/DVD menus as such. You can put a message from text in a menu asking the user how to access the section of Rome. In fact, you could put the export in flash in the section of Rome.

    Hello

    As said previously, the Director is unable to edit the video to DVD. You will need a program like first of video editing. Director can read chapters
    leave a DVD or allow you to play the parts of a DVD. Director does not allow the creation of DVD. Any application you create will have to
    runoff from a computer (Mac or PC). It does not output to a DVD TV player.

  • No output from PE10 after burning to 4.7 folder if I add a DVD menu

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Quad i7, 4 GB of RAM.

    I have an hour two play recorded in ACHVD. I have the main room and three void / scenes.

    If I burn DVD on 4.7 GB file on AutoPlay, it burns without any problems.

    If I add a menu, it will go through the steps and indicates it burned successfully, but there is no files in the folder.

    I tried to burn to a DVD, same thing, no output.

    I uninstalled all contents, uninstalled PE10, removed the remains of files and clean the registry.

    I rebooted and reinstalled PE10 without adding any content and did a test with a clip and a menu - it burned.

    Then I tried my piece. No output.

    I tried to burn 8.5 GB file, no output.

    I have a lot of hours invested in this video editing.

    Problem solved

    I erased all the markers of the scene.

    I entered a cleat at the end of the first scene, then a marker of the scene at the beginning of the next scene, and burned - the files are in the output folder.

    I added the rest of their agenda, stop > scene > stop > scene and then do not place a stopper at the end of the last scene as suggested above. I burned it and the file displayed.

    Previosly I had entered all the markers of the scene first, and when we played the DVD, we noticed that the player does not stop at the end of a scene and return to the main menu. So, we went back and added the stop markers.

    Premiere Elements preferred stop markers and the scene put in order on my project.

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!

  • PES 10 can't change read-only groups layer (aka I want to just make a custom in the elements DVD menu)

    A little history: I wanted to make a custom menu, so I opened a copy of one of the menu canned. In PS Elements 10 PSD files.  It opened with all the layers and their showing sublayers.  So far so good.  I made a lot of editting and had my menu pretty much right, recorded and burned a DVD with it.  I saw a few corrections that I need to do so I opened the same. PSD file and it showed all main layers (with the folder icon) but not the attached layers.

    I double-clicked to open these layers and got:

    "You try to open a group, which is not supported in Photoshop Elements.  The layers in this group will be simplified in a single layer.  Simplify the layers? Yes No. »

    I just change these things yesterday.  Everything I've done since then is save my software online. I saw that it said in this forum that "Elements doesn't support layer group/sets' but she was referring to an earlier version, I guess.

    Question 1: Is it always true PES 10?

    Whatanagement 2: if so, how me I edit the other day?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Any help appreciated,

    Nicholas

    Nicholas,

    Button routing is probably set on automatically to the buttons of road. Normally, it works pretty well. It is based on the order of the buttons layer games, as displayed in the PS, with inside a like button 1 on-site through the order. This is, regardless of any change in the name that could apply to these button layer sets.

    In Encore, with the Menu in the Panel of the Menu change, tap the button routing and uncheck automatically Route buttons.

    You will now have a series of "crossroads" for each button in the Menu. in the middle of each cross will be the number 1 - X button. Of the four arms of each cross will be other numbers button. It can now be changed to reflect your desired navigation. Let's say for the button 2, the top arm of the cross a button number 1, but you want to button number 5, just slide the button number 5, and this number at the top of the arms of the cross will change. Just be sure that all the button numbers accessible from somewhere, or that the user will not be able to directly access this button.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to burn the disc on a DVD menu?

    Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 - Windows Vista 64-bit

    I modified my video then insert chapter markers. I chose a disc menu and made some adjustments. Everything works fine when I click on "Preview" - can I choose different scenes, "my" music plays in the background, everything seems like I want. When I "Burns" the disc on my drive hard or on a DVD I have a "chunk" of (edited) video - no chapter marker and NO menu at all.

    I removed Nero from my computer because someone said it might conflict. I have installed/uninstalled PRE7 twice. The problem persists.

    Please notify. Thank you. Val

    Ok. Burning to disc is done, but I still don't see a video with a menu that I can play on my computer.

    In My Documents, I have a new folder with a long number as its name. Inside there are two folders more: OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS. (Yay!)

    -----------

    Well, at least, we have made some progress. I finally managed to several output files. It's a good thing, right? They are the appropriate files, I need to burn a paper copy? Can I burn a copy printed directly from PRE7?

    Have been able to burn to the disc that you say at the beginning of the post that later on you ask you about burning a paper copy. You have the OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS folders is so great.

    You can burn it to a DVD directly from PRE7 but it can be problematic due to other software interfering with the process. Burn it down first on file eliminates most of these hassles and it takes a few minutes to burn on DVD after that.

    How to do a project is:

    (1) burn the project on folder on my computer

    (2) open Nero--> video / images--> DVD video files

    (3) add OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS folders.

    At this point, Nero can make a long warning saying something like: ' one or more files could not be added. '. I ignore cela and press OK

    (4) now you are almost ready to burn. I chose the lowest burning speed, and then start the burn.

    I never burn directly from PRE on DVD led to too many mistakes. Engraving on a folder, first of all, then using Nero I got no problems of all founded. I don't know that imgbrn would work just as well to make the final engraving also.
