Example MuxMan scripts?

[Pudah]

I'm trying to learn the how to create and use muxman scripts. But I'm not making much headway. I was wondering if any one had example script (and associated asset) files for a very simple project. Perhaps a title with a couple of chapter points and a simple menu to play the whole title or select one of the chapters. Or maybe a two title DVD with a simple menu to play all or select one of the titles. The actual video in the sample assets need not be anything fancy, just a picture or something that lets the user know which chapter or title was selected from the menu. When you save a project using the GUI, it does give you the mxp file for the audio, video and subpicture assets, but there aren't any example navigation commands generated.

I think this would be a big help in guiding the new user thru the complex scripting language. Anybody have something like this that they are willing to share?

You can create your own scripts to study by using the GUI. Set up whatever example you want to study and, to get a complete and accurate script, run it then save it.

Yes, I've done that for the video, audio and subpictures. But there is nowhere in the GUI to specify a menu and the associated navigation commands. It builds the navigation section with "Menu ID=No Menu". I'm having trouble figuring out how I'd write a script to build a DVD with a menu. That's what I was looking for an example of.

you can get numenu4u at numenu4u.com.. run it on a dvd and it will make a menu script for you... i think it will make a scenarist script unless you have the pro version.. but you should be able to load that into muxman (the scenarist.scp script file) and then save it as a .mxp script. try a dvd with a very simple menu to increase your success rate.

other than that , mpucoder.com explains the settings for menus

I couldn't get numenu4u to work on my system. It kept hanging.

So, I used media chance DVD Menu Studio to build a simple main menu and chapter menu. I exported both to Scenarist scripts and associated BMPs. I changed the subpic BMPs created by DVD-MS to 4bit (as it seemed by default to create them at 24bit, which muxman doesn't like). Pulled the scp files into muxman and saved them as mxp files.

I also created a simple title asset using 4 BMPs, one for each of four chapters in my simple example "movie." Created a chapter list. Pulled them into muxman and saved that as an mxp file.

I studied all three (main menu, chapter menu and title) mxp files, as well as the commands in a very simple DVD that I had laying around (using PgcEdit). After a bunch of trial and error and study of the mxp documentation, I was able to build a simple working DVD.

The main thing that I figured out that initially was not clear to me, is that your menu assets are really just like your movie assets. They are all specified in the Content section of the mxp file. You then refer to them in the navigation section, specifying which menus go with which stills/video and associating commands with the defined buttons.

If any other newbies want the script and BMPs for their own study, let me know and I'll upload them here.

Upload them please :)
