Assuming you used the “Audio to Keyframes” keyframe assistant, this will work:
[position[0],thisComp.layer(“Audio Amplitude”).effect(“Left Channel”)(“Slider”)]

Set your Output module in the Render queue to MPEG-2 DVD. (by default it is Video for Windows).

This is the modulus. The scientific definition is that it will return the remainder of a division. So if you divide 6/2=3, it will return 0, if you divide 5/2 it will return 0.5. This can be used to trigger events in a cycle, define if a number is odd or even and a few other things. So if you for instance have a formula like:
x=timeToFrames(time)%70
Your object would increase its position from 0 to 70 until it reaches frame 70. At this point position and frame value are identical and the formula will return 0, thus resetting it. From fram 71 to frame 140 the cycle will then repeat and so on.

[peterock] “with level adjustment you talk about the ecoding settings?”
No, before you even begin to put your DVD together. “Broadcast safe colors”. Aharaon Rabinowitz did a nice video tutorial about this a while ago on the AE forum.
[peterock] “once i encoded the menus and clips, is there possibilitie to check if they got the same way encoded?”
There are tools that check the internal workings of an MPEG II stream, but they usually don’t detect any color abnormalities (as the tools have no way of knowing how you intended them to look). Since those tools are eitehr expensive (professional stream analyzer hardware/ software) or tricky to use (shareware/ freeware tools) or both, there may be no point in getting them if you are only doing a DVD every now and so often… The time and money to learn them may not be justifyable.
[peterock] “you know haow to minimize the reaction time between timeline and menu?”
You can’t influence that directly, your layout software (in your case Encore) must be smart enough to allocate sectors in such a way, that connected PGCs are as close together as possible and do not cause playback delays by forcing a repositioning of the laser in your player. Beyond that, it’s only a matter of how fast the mechanics in your DVD player react.

Yeah, I kinda picture what you mean – sort of matte objects as in 3D programs. AE can’t do that, since it doesn’t treat a pixels Alpha separate from the color. In AE’s world, a fully transparent pixel is the same as a pixel that doesn’t exist at all.

No, no and no.
