Music problem on menu

Post by yugoman1 »

I have a problem with the length of a music clip within a menu, and this is my second project......I had excactly the same issue with the first project but thought I would try again before asking for help. This is a hd bluray project and this time I have created a BDMV folder before I burn the disc, and I can see the music problem before I burn the disc to rule out any burning issues. I have selected a menu this time from the corel free download site and set a piece of music to it that is at least a couple of minutes long, and clicked on audio properties, this is showing that the piece is at least a couple of minutes long but then I burn the BDMV folder.When I watch it from the BDMV folder,the music cuts of after about 20 seconds ? This is excactly what happened on the previous project when I played the disc.........any ideas ?

This is normal for most menus with any video authouring programs. Most people are not interested in watching/listening to a menu and want to get to the actual video. I certainly would not wait for 2 minutes just so that I could listen to "menu music"

If you disable 'motion menu', the background music can be longer than the default 30 seconds.

I am used to using Pinnacle software which allows you to stretch most menus to any length of music clip but I suppose I can live with this limitation, and of course it seems that I can get longer if I switch off the motion menu...Thanks for the replies !

I must say though, so far I am quite pleased with this software compared to others.....at least it is very stable with good results so far !
