Does Spruceup support 16x9 menu background?

[Cayne]

No.

[Commander XJL]

well I think that sucks

[slk001]

Well, no, but you can fool the program into handling a 16:9 aspect ratio. (This has been discussed at length before... do a search for this and find the threads that explain the "how-to's" in detail.)

[Commander XJL]

I know about this, but I thought this trick was for using a 16x9 movie, in my case the menu is 16x9 but the movie is supposed to be 4x3

[slk001]

Menus have aspect ratios, too. Just apply the same trick to your menus, compile, then use IFOEdit and change the AR to 16:9.

[Commander XJL]

to do this do I open VIDEO_TS.IFO? Please be specific on how to do this I've never done it before, I want to change just the menu aspect ratio, thanks

[Commander XJL]

Doesn't anyone know how to do this?

[jdobbs]

The menu information is (usually) in the same IFO as the film and you change it the same way you would the film aspect ratio. I don't have access to IFOEdit right now and I can't remember the offset, but I'll send you information when I get home.

[jdobbs]

Commander,

Go into the IFO (with IFOEdit) containing the movie under VTSI_MAT (same place as you would for changing the aspect ratio of the movie itself). At offset [00000100] you'll find the video attributes for VTSM_VOBS -- that is the menu. Double click on it and change aspect to 16:9 and Autoletterboxed.

Please note that there can be multiple menus. You may have to do this to more than one title set.
