Need video button to link to different timeline
I am importing MPEG-2 video that is 352×480 into Encore (Mini DVD source). I have no problem getting Encore to pass it without transcoding, via patching the file’s header in DVD Patcher before import, and then patching the finished VOBs back to the correct dimensions.
My problem is that, by bringing “incorrectly-sized” videos into Encore, I cannot create video buttons. The video buttons process, but are half-sized because the video is only actually 352×480.
I tried a workaround by creating 15-second 720×480 MPEGs from the original (transcoded outside Encore) and bringing them into my chapter menus. This creates “pseudo” video buttons that match the original file’s chapter stop locations.
Here’s the problem: The “pseudo” video buttons link to the 15-second MPEGs (of course). I cannot get them to link to the chapter stops in the correct full-length file. At first I thought the button override would solve the problem but the buttons still just link to the 15-second originals (apparently “override” doesn’t override the original link, but the end action of a timeline instead?).
Is there any way to create a video button that links to a different video timeline?
Thanks in advance.
