Re: Adding "Rollovers"?
by SS Scott on Jun 8, 2007 at 5:36:02 am

sort of. but what you are talking about is a limitation of the DVD spec, not of DVDit Pro. Rollover effects are not part of the spec. HD DVD and Blu-ray, yes, but DVD, no.

The way to accomplish what you want is to create multiple menus and link them together, and then use the "auto activate" command in the button attributes window. So, you have buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 on the left hand side. first menu has button 1 highlighted and it's corresponding movie poster baked into the background. if you rollover button two, it autoactivates a link to a separate menu that has button two highlighted and its corresponding movie poster baked into the background. etc. it's a bit tricky to setup, as each menu in this case requires 3 auto-activating buttons, but that is the general idea.

Caveats:

- won't work with a mouse rollover. you have to click a button on a computer to get it to auto-activate. so a user on a computer will have to click a button twice to get to that movie.

- some DVD players are faster than others. on some, the rollover effect will be instantaneous. on others there may be some lag. on some you could even see a black flash between the two menus.
