Title/Menu buttons won't work!!!!!!!!!!
by louis sparre (arbolito) on Apr 15, 2008 at 5:08:34 pm

Hi,

I've created a really simple DVD with one main menu and a couple of sub menus. My problem occurs when a viewer is viewing one of the movies from one of the sub menus. If the viewer gets bored of the clip and wants to return to the menu (not the MAin menu) he can't. Clicking both "menu" and "title" on the simulation in studio pro both take him back to the main menu not the sub menu. In other words any time he stops a clip he has to renavigate to the sub menu via the main menu. not a huge deal but very unpro looking for my client.

any ideas...? thanks in advance

lou

You have to author it to do something else. You can set scripts to "remember" what menu it came from and have the menu button return to it.

You can do a search from for example scripts or I think Ken Stone has some at his site. http://www.kenstone.net

The Title button is normally always set to jump to the main menu from any video, at least that is the way that I do it.

No need to create any scripts. Even if the clip was accessible from different menus. In that case you'd create stories. But in this case, where I assume you're only able to get to the video track from one menu, simply highlight the track in graphical view tab, and then in the inspector pallette chose the general tab, then at the bottom under remote control, you'll see a pulldown that dictates where you want it to go if menu is pressed.

Oh yeah, I was thinking a sub menu like a chapter menu, where you jump to the same track from different menus. I prefer scripts over stories in those cases, use stories to use different end jumps. But this is not a right or wrong thing more of a how do you want to do it.
