More tips on creating Chapter menus

Post by Banji Abereoje »

Great people,

1. I use VS8 and 10. Pls at Authoring stage, can I have more than one Chapter clip/thumbnail in the Main menu if I don’t want to go on to making sub-menu chapter?

2. How do I create text only chapter menus since this saves my rendering time? Or how do I delete the thumbnail? Or is there a way to re-size or shift the position of a thumbnail while creating Chapter menu?

3. If I add 2 video clips to the Menu clip list at Authoring while making a single DVD, will the first clip stop playing when it gets to its end and I will need to hit play button again to play the second clip? Or the two will play on like a single video?

Pls your adv will greatly help.

For each Video added you will get a link/title in the main menu

A lot of questions--VS 10 only from the Gallery tag select the 'text' template, Thumbnail menus are probibaly the easiest to work with.....
From the advanced button select 'show menu' to hide the main menu


3. If I add 2 video clips to the Menu clip list at Authoring while making a single DVD, will the first clip stop playing when it gets to its end and I will need to hit play button again to play the second clip? Or the two will play on like a single video?
... Go to 'Options' cogwheel for 'navigation controls'

Pls your adv will greatly help.
