I emailed Nero to suggest that they work with bond to integrate automated menu backup into Nero Digital. Maybe they will just delete my email but I guess it's worth a try .

Interesting! I would like to try MP4Menu.
But links to MP4Box and Osmo4 player are not working.
I tried searching but it didn't help.
Is it still available? If not, can I use MP4Menu without MP4Box?

Yes you should be able to use MP4Menu with any MPEG-4 Systems Encoder, ie mp4tool from enst but i only tested it really with mp4box

otherwise you would have to compile osmo4 and mp4box yourself

mp4tool from enst is not available too.
Can I do it with MPEG4IP's mp4tools? If so then how?
I am new to all this stuff, but I would REALLY like to try.
And what is other mpeg-4 systems player would you recommend instead of Osmo4? I don't know how to compile it.

Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum.

If you had looked at bond MP4 FAQ, you would have found this link: - http://gpac.sourceforge.net/auth_mp4box.php

Cheers

Problems with your menu

Hello bond,

I am trying to get along with your great mp4menu script.
I have mp4box now and followed the instructions in your guide.

But I have problems with the file. When I convert the bt file to mp4 using mp4box I only get the menuvideo without audio in the mp4 file or only the main movie.

Can you please give your source files? That might help to understand the mp4menu script. I am talking about the menu.mp4 and menu.avi mentioned in your script. And perhaps the other files too.

Greetings

Michael

you mean when you start playing the mp4 in osmo4 only the menu gets displayed? can you push the buttons?

Quote:
I am talking about the menu.mp4 and menu.avi mentioned in your script
menu.avi is simply the menu directly from the .vob encoded with a mpeg-4 codec and stored in .avi
menu.mp4 is the audio of the menu directly from the .vob encoded with aac or mp3 and stored in .mp4

the "#1" defines the trackid of the stream in the mp4. to find out the trackid open the .mp4 in mp4ui (the audio tracks outputted by most aac encoders always have trackid 1)


so to say if you look in my mp4menu.bt
- the first file listed is movie.avi#video - here you have to set the path to the file which contains the full movie (but not the audio of the movie)
- the next is movie_english.mp4#1 - thats the file which contains the audio (first language) of the full movie, in your case this would be the german audio i think
- movie_deutsch.mp4#1 - is the second language audio stream (english or whatever other language you want)
- movie_english_forced.srt - are the forced subs, which should always get displayed
- movie_english.srt - first language subs (in your case german)
- movie_deutsch.srt - second language subs (eg english)
- menu.mp4#1 - the audio stream of the menus (as written above)
- menu.avi#video - the audio stream of the menus (as written above) any audio stream in the .avi will get ignored


if you want to extract the single streams from the sw sample, you can easily do this with mp4box itself via the following commandlines:
Code:
MP4Box -avi TrackID mymp4.mp4
(extracts the video to .avi)
Code:
MP4Box -raw TrackID mymp4.mp4
(extracts the audio to .aac or .mp3)

Hello bond,

thanks for your answers.

I meant when I start playing the mp4 in qt6 only the menu gets displayed. I can not push any buttons. And the file size tells me that the main movie has not been included.

Quote:
menu.avi...
I understood everything you wrote in your guide. And I changed the file names of my main movie, main movie languages and menu.
But it does not work.
That's why I asked for your original files fitting the data in the bt file. Would be much easier to understand and reconfigure.

greetings

Michael

qt isnt able to play the menus, it will simply ignore all interactivity information and will simply play the a/v streams
you can switch in qt between the different a/v streams stored in the mp4

as i wrote above you can extract every stream from a .mp4 yourself

well its the same as with mpeg-2 systems: not every mpeg-2 decoder can decode dvd menus for example, you need a special player which is capable to do it
i also wrote that you need a special player in my first post

there lots of other players around, i tested mp4menu with the osmo4 player i linked to in the first post

of course its part of mp4/mpeg-4, still this doesnt mean that quicktime supports it...

quicktime is only one of dozens implementations of mpeg-4 available and surely not a complete one

I want to use qt6. Do you know any alternative to mp4menu? For example any tutorials about interactive mp4?

What I want to do: Have a startframe with some text on it. And when you click on it, the movie starts. Can be seen in the beginning of some movie trailers in the mov format. Something like a GO or NEXT button.

And: a language button. A movie should be played using language file 1 or 2.

Any suggestions?

greetings

Michael

should be possible with mp4 in all big players including wmp9, quicktime or realplayer when the enviviotv-plugin is installed, its a very basic menu what you are asking for (which enviviotv will handle, in contrary to full dvd menus), mp4menu was written for dvd menus, its surely too overloaded for your purpose

have a look at my mp4 faq for some authoring tools or read this tutorial for a guide on how to write your own menu script

basically you need to do the following:
- place a .png or .jpg in the .mp4 (next to the audio/video streams)
- create a button which is as big as the image, which starts playing the movie when clicking
- and add two other buttons (which are named like the languages) for letting the user choose the language

you should find everything needed in mp4menu, but there surely is no way around reading into the bt language a little bit deeper and writing an own script
