Re: Encore+Mac (Leopard) +Blu Ray=Wrong

As an update to my first post, here's a little progress:

Starting from scratch, I identified a few buttons that worked in Blu-Ray as they did on the simulator. I discovered that if I changed the colour set at all, they ceased to funtion. So sqaure red buttons it is. I have now added the media back in with the menus so we'll see if I can manage a sucessful build over the weekend without an error.

My navigation is fouled up in pretty much the same way everyone else's is: My link to the chapter menu highlights button 2, not button 1 (so it defaults to chapter 2) and my link to my third menu (special features) links to button 3. They work fine in the simulator, and on an SD burn.

That sounds like a simple scripting error, doesn't it? Except that of course if it WAS a simple error, Adobe would have fixed it, right? I accept that Blu-Ray is harder to program for - so maybe the greatest minds at Adobe cant fix this. Or maybe they haven't bothered. Who knows. Right about now, I don't really care. If this was beta software, I could wear it, but it SO isn't. If your sofware can't do basic things like this disk right, don't offer it for sale.

I think I can cope with a half-baked low volume disk that actually plays things - so that's what I'm hoping for tomorrow. Then I'm never using it again. Hopefully Apple will update DVD SP before I have to make a choice....
