I need 15 buttons…pan scan letterbox 16:9
Hi. I had a 720×480 anamorphic menu then used panscan and letterbox…only problem is there’s 15 buttons on this thing. I then exported the menu to be 16:9 but it still will ony allow me to do a maximum of 12 buttons… how do i get DVDSP to do true 16:9 and therefore allow me to get the allowable buttons I need. I had read up that all you need to do is make the menu 16:9 which I did.. but I can’t seem to figure it out. thanks.

it is a total of 36 buttons, so each version adds up, if your menus work as full screen with Pan and Scan just do it that way. You can have upto 18 buttons on 16:9 letterbox or 16:9 Pan and Scan.
So there is nothing to figure out, it won’t work.

thanks for the help. i re-exported the menus (14 in all) as 854×480 instead of 720×480 and I was able to use 16:9 letterbox to create the 15 buttons i needed.

Well DVDSP is not converting the menu to 720×480 with the PAR or 1.2, every menu on a DVD is 720×480, never let DVDSP scale down your stills if you want the best quality.
When you create the menus in PS, you either start with a 854, then you resize it to 720×480 (it looks wrong in PS). You then tell DVDSP to display it as a 16:9, plus what to do when the DVD is played on a 4:3 TV. It will either show full frame which is fine as long as you design the menu as 4:3 Safe or to letterbox it so it keeps the look of the 16:9. Your original question asked how to get more buttons when you use all three, that is totally different than what you are now stating.
