Hy!

I am into reauthoring a movie, but have problems with the menus.
On the original disc the main menu for example is located in vts01_0.vob and is working like this: (moving menu)
1. main menu starts - no subpicture button highlights
2. main menu - subpicture highlights and selection possible
3. main menu ends - no subpicture button highlights
A demuxed it as in general with vobedit, but my problem is that this is one cell!! I mean I would do it in Maestro like:
1. Timeout 0 and loop set to the place where highlighted button should be enabled.
2. End part is another menu with timeout 0 only.
But this can be done only with 2 cells.
The menu is 16:9

Is there a way to do like they did on the dvd?

So I decided to use BOV, but the problem is that the highlighted buttons are OK in windvd for example, but are cut and not on their place on the realmagic carc output (Could say like a standalone dvd player). So there is a problem with the subpicture (seems ok in maestro with bov). Should I use 2 different subpictures, and how?
The other problem is that audio and subpicture stream selection is not working well in BOV. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Example:

The language selection menu is a movie like the main menu (because of the problem of beeing 1 cell each) and if I choose language 1 or 2 or sub 1,2, or no sub in this menu, and then jump to an end menu, then goes to the real movie, that doesn't work.

Please help!

Your problem is probably that you need subs for both widescreen and letterboxed view. I'm not familiar enough with maestro, but I'm sure you can change views somewhwere and set the correct subs.

Thanks, already tried that.
I was able the make the project to work fine in windvd, powerdvd, with realmagic card, but strangely won't work correctly with a standalone dvd player.
The realmagic card and the standalone, are both set to 4:3 letterbox, the menu should be 16:9, as the movie.

Does the tv scale automatically based on the standalone output? Or do you have to press a widescreen button on the remote manually maybe?
