Thanks for the update, Larry…I haven’t worked with Blu-ray recently, so I haven’t had a chance to confirm anything regarding motion menus.

I hope to jump back into Blu-ray authoring soon.

Duplicate the timeline – the subtitles will also be duplicated.

[Marc Brown] “This is Blu-ray. Although the two are effectively interchangeable in Encore.”

That may be the view from the application user interface, but beneath the hood, the formats are of course quite different.

This doesn’t happen when authoring a DVD from Encore, so it would appear to be a limitation of Encore’s current Blu-ray implementation.

Your workaround is probably the preferred workflow, until this is addressed by Adobe. I’d recommend you call Tech Support or go to Adobe’s web site and enter a bug in their support section.

The only way to do this in Encore is to use a motion menu instead of a timeline.

If the video is of long duration, note there is a limit of 1 GB for motion menus on a disc.

Are you authoring to DVD or Blu-ray?

Possibly because of Windows 7. Check here, especially pgauba’s post:

July 23, 2009 at 2:47 pm in reply to: After creating buttons, how does one get rid of the text graphics?

This is a simple thing to do:

1. Type your text into the menu to create a text layer
2. Convert it to a button
3. In Button properties, uncheck “Create Text Subpicture”
4. Choose Object > Create Subpicture
5. Go to the Layers panel and hide the text layer within the button

I don’t understand your Loop Point issue at all, nor your subsequent statement. Static graphics don’t take priority over motion menus.

You’re trying to, what – create a button that’s invisible (or at least text that’s invisible) until you select the button?

You’re going about this all wrong.

Duplicate your timeline (for safety), and then delete the asset from it – the chapter points should disappear.

Drag the DL asset back into the timeline – do you have the latest chapter points?

[Jon Finster] “Then each time the user clicks on an audio file the screen will go black for a split second and then the new menu (with the same background) will appear, right? I”

You’ll see that in Encore Preview mode, but if you burn a disc and test it in a DVD player, you won’t see any black – just one menu to the next.
