Hi all. I was hoping that someone could help me with a problem that has occured recently. Up until a day or so ago I had no problems with DMF. All of a sudden though I have encountered problems with background music on menus. All appears OK on the computer, but after burning the DVD the background music "sticks". Apart from this, the menus work and the video is good.
I find this puzzling as I have burned numerous DVDs prior to this that all work fine. I have tried numerous solutions including reinstalling the program but with no success.
Any ideas?

I will post a related problem I am having to that just started. I have made 6 or so DVD from pictures with music and all worked fine. I just started a new one and loaded the pictures and went to add back ground music and I get this error:
Ulead DVD PictureShow has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
with the click here to send and report error to Microsoft. I have not a clue why it started doing this all of a sudden. Any help would be great. Oh I have tired putting in the disk and doing a repair but nada. It is 2.0se.

Re: Background Music on Menus
If you search for the "MenuBkMusic" folder you will find the files that DMF3 uses for the background music. For some reason I started getting the same problem as you and when I'd check the MenuBkMusic folder I would find that one or more of the audio files were severely truncated- from something like 936kb to 30kb!Steve Y wrote:Hi all.

I may try reinstalling DMF3- maybe without the latest patch- and see if that helps. Meanwhile what I do is watch the MenuBkMusic folder while DMF3 is "converting menu background music" in the Finish screen. If any of the audio files are way too small I CANCEL the operation and try again until all of the audio files are correct. (Yeah, it's a real hassle!
)It seems like DMF3 will screw up these audio files at random so I collected the correct files in a folder and was going to try copying them into the MenuBkMusic folder if necessary but I never had to do that.

P.S. The MenuBkMusic folder on my WinXP computer is located here:

I tried the recommended solution without success. I tried watching the
the MenuBkMusic folder as suggested by Steve A (thanks for the hint!). Although this was a quicker method for seeing the failure, I found that my project always failed (20 out of 20 times). The failure was either the menuBkFile000.wav or menuBkFile001.wav files being too small (out of 8 wav files: 1 main menu and 7 chapter menus). I tried copying the menuBkFile000.wav file and importing it in for use in all menus without success. Therefore, I watched the MenuBkMusic folder as the .wav files were being created. When one of the .wav files was too small in size, I just quickly overcopied it with a correct sized file and found that this fixed the problem. This is certainly not an elegant solution, but the only one that worked.

1. What's the format of the background music file?? Is it MP3??
The format that I have used for the background file has been .wav. I tried using an .MP3 and the Ulead software would not accept it. I tried a .wma file (w/o DRM) and it did not solve the problem. Whatever format you use, ULEAD will convert it to .wav when building the menus.
2. What DVDMF version are you using??
I am using MF3 Disc Creator
3. Any update packs installed (if you are not using the trial version)??
I have the 300P01 and DL packs installed. I also have a new CvtAV.dll installed that I received from the Tech Support for a project time problem. Finally, I have the DVDBurnEngine update installed.

I've not seen MF3.5 (in my case) succeed in burning a background menu using a .WAV file.
AFter converting it to MP3, it works, but only part of the time. I've started burning first to DVDRW, then, if it works and everything looks OK, copy it to a regular DVD. This way, I don't waste DVD's.
Kind of a kludge, but it works in the long run.

Eric the GreyI had this problem and ULead responded with the solution to completely uninstall the program, including deleting the files in the common files folder. Then I was to reinstall the program and ONLY the first update, not the dll update. Then I was to install the burning engine update. After doing that, the menu music files seem to be authored correctly. (I had the problem of the music being truncated to about a second in all but the first menu.) However, not having the second update does eliminate some additions to the program that I liked...and I am having problems with other things, such as jittery video. I'm not sure if that is because I don't have all the updates.
