I had changed that on the title menu… perhaps it’s a problem with my player, as I’ve just tried it on another one and it seems ok.
What does ‘end action’ do? I see this is a setting on every menu.

Ahhhh [smacks head with hand]… Super! Many thanks!! 🙂

By the way, it is doing this when I preview the menu in Encore, not just on the final project. PLUS I have reimported the menu, relinked the buttons, but it STILL does it in the same places! And this is happening on multiple menus! Everything looks as it should in the flowchart. I am totally and utterly stumped by this! HELP…

Is that true of all modern DVD players then? Standalone and computer based? I remember some discs I had years ago used to have separate 5.1/2.0 tracks. But is that generally not the case nowadays? Is it just due to advances in technology of the players?
-
Ah, ok. I understand. Thanks for explaining.
How would I go about adding the 2.0 track, so that it could be selected from the DVD menu as an alternate, for someone who doesn’t have a 5.1 sound system?

OK, well, as mentioned, the source video, which has been edited and mixed etc. is on HDCam-SR at present and I will be giving this tape to another company to encode for me, then supply me the separate audio/video tracks on disc.
So from what you’re saying, I need to specifically instruct them to encode the audio track as an AC3 track and supply this to me? Does anything special need to be done their end? And then I just import it into the project with my video?
I have previously worked with separate video/audio tracks in Encore anyway, so no problem there. But I’m a bit confused by something Jon says…
“…if you do anything that causes encore to have to re-encode your audio, such as combining multiple clips into a single timeline… then it will not output 5.1 audio.”
Won’t any audio be combined in the timeline anyway, when I tie it in the with the video track?

Is there a way I can take my project, which is 7.5GB, and take that in any form into another programme to ensure I have a legal split of sectors? Because I’ve created a project that has too many sectors on the second layer, and I would like to be able to control this, if at all possible.

If you did option 1, which is easy enough, at the end of the 30 seconds the menu would go black, then fade up again, and then repeat this process over and over. Wouldn’t that look a bit odd, and possibly have people thinking something had gone wrong?
I’m not sure if you can do a one off transition that does this just once, unless you created a separate first play element that would reveal your menu in this way perhaps…
-
Thanks. I actually just called up my contact at Sony and they’ve told me they can work from a burned dual-layer disc. Which i guess makes things easier… if they’re right!

OK, so with either of those programmes, will that work with the project I have already created in Encore? Or would i just take an image created with Encore and create the DDP files with it? Is it very complex?
