Problem with Audio in Scenearist....

[DVDan]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem switching between 2 audio streams in Scenearist.
I have a menu with a 'Play Movie' option and one with a 'Play Movie with
Comentary' option. I'm using 4:3 menus and 16:9 video so I'm routing my
menu commands through dummy PGCs in the video manager but I can't get the
second stream (comentary) to play. When either button is activated a short
Ident clip plays before the movie starts so I have created seperate Titles
(in the same VTS as the movie) containing the same Ident clip which each
link to the main movie.

This is how I have set it out:

'Play Movie' button links to dummy PGC which links to Ident Title which
links to Movie. The Ident Title Post Command is:
1:JumpVTS_TTMOVIE

'Play with Comentary' button links to seperate dummy PGC which links to
second Ident Title which links to Movie. The second Ident Title has an
extra Post Command:
1:SetSTN audio=2, subpicture=1:ON, angle=1
2:JumpVTS_TTMOVIE

This arangement works fine when I simulate it within Scenearist but when
I test it in WinDVD 5 on the PC only the first audio stream plays regardless
of which button is activated. I can however change the audio streams manually
in WinDVD 5 (right-clicking).

Can anyone please help? I know I'm probably doing something stupid.
Thanks in advance,
dan

Use the menu buttons to set a GPRM value according to selection and use those values to set audio stream as a pre command of your movie PGC.

If I'm correct you can use different aspect ratio in menus than you have in video titles. So no need to map through VM, no need to use registers.

You are right.
I used 4:3 menus in 16:9 Titleset many times no problem. The typ of assets has to have the same aspect ratio in one domain, so you can use 4:3 in VTSM_DOM and 16:9 in TT_DOM together in one VTS.
So no problem if all your menus are 4:3 and all your title-PGC's are 16:9.

Thanks for all your replys,

Pato: I tried using the GPRM method but found it a bit confusing. I think I need to do some swatting up regarding these commands.

Putting the 4:3 menus in the correct language folder as the root menu worked fine.

Is there a guide anywhere to using GPRM commands. I understand how they're suposed to work but I don't think I was assigning them correctly.

Thanks again,
