Yes, it matters where the image is. It should be in the root of the disc, not in the layer 0 folder.

You can certainly make a 1320×240 mpeg. Set your FCP or AE sequence to that size, square pixels and export native. Not sure if Compressor will let you change the size, but there is nothing in the mpeg2 spec that prohibits this size. You may want to try different encoders – Pixeltools and Procoder can set mpeg2 to any size, Cinemacaft can probably too. You just won’t be able to make a DVD from your mpeg, but for streaming, etc. you should be fine.

There is no need to use scripts for what you’re doing. Stories will work just fine on DVD-R or DVD-Video (replicated discs).
It’s useful to know how to expand your playback logic via scripts, but again, no need for it in your case.

When exporting out of AE, keep field-render set to none.

Save two files – one for the background, one with black highlights over white as TIFF or PICT. Bring them into DSP. Drop background on top of the menu, and set it as “background”. Drop the other one on the same menu as set it as “overlays”. Draw highlights around your buttons and set color in the property inspector of the button. DSP manual explains this process as well.

Your post doesn’t make any sense.

I’ve had to author quite few 8 language discs in DSP, and totally agree with you – it’s a nightmare. At the time, we had a word document with sub lines separated by returns. Within word we ran a macro that exported the lines as PSD files. Then laid out English subs to video on Avid, and exported EDL. EDL was converted to STL and other languages macroed with same filenames. Then we simply duplicated STLs and changes file paths. This is most likely not going to be your workflow, but the point is: subs are always going to be a big pain, even in a program like Scenarist it’s not much simpler, except that you CAN select multiple subs and move them.

Sonic will only sell you their current release, which is 20-30K depending on who you speak with. I’m sure most of the current users are up to date, so any dongle out there will likely support 4.5. Why not use DoStudio? It can both mux and help you with HDi.

Do a search on this forum. In short, it can’t done.
