Hi Fabrice,
Many thanks for a wonderful DVDSTYLER.
I find it very useful for creating good looking DVD's with impressive menu capabilities.
I have tried many others, most seem to be restrictive in either menu generation or video file formats.
I particularly like it's ability to enable a long movie creation to fit a DVD.
I had also encountered problems adding audio to the menu (ubuntu 12.04 DVDStyler 2.1) when playing back in a standalone DVD player (recorder - Philips DVDR 70). This was resolved with DVDStyler 2.3.4.
This player (Philips DVDR 70) also had problems with menu's created by DVDStyler whereby the menu would dissapear after about 1/2 second. I changed the Menu frame count (in core settings) from 12 to 100 and the menu stayed visible for 4 seconds.
Increasing the frame count above 100 (125 & 200 tried) the menu stays visible permanently. This may help other users with similar problems.
Before being able to load 2.3.4 ubuntu version I loaded the windows 2.3.4 version with WINE and found a slight difference in operation:-
Ubuntu version add video files as separate Titles (as does Windows version in Windows).
Windows version (with WINE) seems to add video files as chapters to Title 1. Odd - why the difference?
********* I also have a query/request *********
I like to create DVD's for simple use. (For viewing by limited ability persons who cannot use a remote - a carer can insert the DVD and does not need to be present for menu choices).
These would preferably have a menu with a number of Titles, each one returning to the menu after playing. Also the option of Play all (in sequence) from the menu. This operation is easily obtained in DVDStyler.
The request would be to begin playing ALL TITLES if no menu choice is made after about 30 secs.
This can partly be achieved by using the POST COMMANDS: in the menu properties, but can only point to a Title, eg Title 1. But returns to the menu (as per the post command in the video preference for Title 1).
Is is possible to add a Post command in the menu to emulate a button function - EG the Play All button?
Many thanks
Brian
