DVD Architect Menu

[Steve Rhoden]

when its rendered? or do you mean when its burnt on a
DVD disc?
What are you playing back the DVD on when you noticed
this?
I dont have architect in front of me now, but you could
be easily overlooking a particular menu setting.

Probably just the old “Forgot to set the disc start item” syndrome.

I think what you are going through it making sure the video “starts” with the menu, which from my personal use, is not able to be set from a menu. It has to be done on the “face” of DVD Architect. Rather than explain it, look at the graphic to see how it works.

That should be your problem solution.

God bless,

EDIT: BTW, you posted in the Vegas board, not the DVD Authoring board. I hope I understand your issue.

Thanks, everyone, I just upgraded to Vegas Pro 11 and DVD Architect 5.2, and this is the first DVD I tried creating with the new program. I don’t recall having to do anything in the 5.0. I think Kelly has the answer. Thanks again.

[Kelly Basden]

Yes, Lawrence. I just did the same thing with the upgrade and I am dazzled. In the DVDA 5.2 situation, setting the start of the video to anything other than the menu does not eliminate the menu, it just causes the video to skip it. You can use a standard remote to go to the menu, but when the disc is inserted to the player, auto play starts where ever that start indicator is routed to. This was available in the 5.0 version as well. That’s where I learned it. In my 5.2 installation, it won’t show due to a script error in the help file, but it’s listed in “Project Overview” after searching “Disc Start” in the Search tap in the Help console.

Listen, if you have a problem with DVDA 5.2 tossing a [MUX_SN_E_IO] error when trying to create a BluRay image (.iso) or burning directly to a BluRay, let me know. What you may want to do is render a five minute video in vegas as a .m2v (video file) and a .mpa (audio file) and try to finish them in DVDA. Otherwise you will have to wait six or more hours for DVDA to toss the error.

If the error comes up, go to https://www.photo-fix.com and email me from the front page. Replace the stock subject line in the generated email with “Lawrence [MUX]” and we’ll go from there.

I corresponded with SONY on this issue and with the help of a determined staff member by the name of Emily, we found a solution to the issue. It will involve a clean uninstall and reinstall of ALL Sony applications, registry key removals, etc., so if the issue comes up, save all presets and workspace configurations for all Sony app (Vegas, DVDA, Sound Forge and ACID Music Studio,) let me know and I’ll get you through it.

Many people are experiencing the “MUX” error, as it has come to be known as, and I have disseminated the solution to as many forums as I searched and posted to as well as ones I did not post to. Implementing what Emily told me worked like a charm.

Go for it Lawrence,
Kelly J.
