Tip: How to get the original menu overlay bitmaps

[henkjanl]

I found out by accident that if you rip the first vob file with subrip you get a set of overlay bitmaps you can use for your menu in Maestro. With te fist vob file I mean the vob file ending with zero (if the movie starts with VTS_01_1.vob the menu files are in VTS_01_0.vob). Now you only have to set the colors for the buttons the same as the original movie and your menu's look the same as the original. I used this to author a Dutch DTS version of Jurassic Park III, I now have the DVD compete with Engisch DTS Dutch subtitles and menus that look the same as the original.

Happy authoring,
