Simple Audio On Off Menu

[Tariq]

I have a menu with the buttons

Button 1: Video 1
Button 2: Video 2
Button 3: Video 3
Button 4: Ac3
Button 5: Dolby
Button 6: Menu


What command do I put on the DOLBY button (The dolby 5.1 is 2nd audio stream?

I tried to put the command

1)[SetSTN audio=2, subpicture=1:ON angle=1 ; LinkNoLink, button=6]

But when I click it the menu audio stops playing.

If I then go on and press Video 1,2 or 3 the audio has changed to steram 2 seams to change the audio in Track 1, 2 and 3 to Dolby(my2nd audio stream) but I do not want the menu audio to stop playing after I have clicked it.

Also after clicking it I have a few pages in the forum telling me how to link to another button in the menu after I have clicked the dolby button but this does not seem to work. I would like the Menu button to highlight after I click Dolby (and the audio in the menu not to stop playing.

Any Ideas?

LinkNoLink,...thats the problem. Use Link to "current cell" and it will work.

Great that works now, phew.
Is there a way I can do the following,

If I press the dolby button and then Track 2, it correctly sets the audio to stream2, but if I leave my menu(vts) and go to Title menu and then to another menu and play a different video it also plays the second stream of that2 I don't want this to happen.

I would like it to play the second stream and memorise it, so if I press stream2 and then play a video the 2nd stream will play.

If I then go out of that menu go to my Title Menu go into another menu and play a clip from there It should play its 1st stream,

If I go back into my video menu and play a video the 2nd stream should still play.

Any Ideas?

Yes it's possible.

You will need the same knowleght i've tried to explain at your "remember button thread" and this looks like to much for you at the moment.

My advise --> keep it simple for your first projects

After some projects you can slowly increase tzhe complexity.

Hi Cona,

your 100% right but I have a job with a friday deadline and I thought it would not be this difficult. Thats why I am so desperate for help. Is there no way off downloading a template of some sort where I can see the code for a dvd with this many menus and buttons?

After rereading your post it seams you've mixed up a lot of DVD-structur.
You should read the manual (especially chapter 9; 11; 12-14).

Short summary on DVD-structur:

You have different domains and spaces First Play domain (FP_DOM) Videomanager-menu domain (VMGM_DOM) Titlesetmenu domain (VTSM_DOM) Title domain (TT_DOM) Videomanager space (VMG Space) Titleset space (VTS Space) System space

Scenarist use special folders to represent the domains and spaces FP_DOM = First Play PGC VMGM_DOM = Languagefolder of Videomanager VTSM_DOM = Languagefolder of VTS TT_DOM = Titlefolder of VTS VTS Space = VTSM_DOM and TT_DOM for that VTS VMG Space = FP_DOM and VMGM_DOM System Space = VMGM_DOM, FP_DOM and all VTSM_DOM Mainmovies are Titles (TT_DOM of any VTS), so they have to be inside Titlefolders. Titlefolders themself have to be inside a VTS folder (not inside a languagefolder) Menus are PGC's of any menudomain (VMGM_DOM or any VTSM_DOM), so they are inside a languagefolderDepending of the domain you can not use all VM-commands.

That's only a small part of basic knowleght you need to author DVDs with Scenarist. The following Links are very informative too: http://dvd.sourceforge.net/dvdinfo/index.html http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/vmcmdset.php

You can use "DVDRemake" and take a look on Holywood DVDs to get an overview. But let my say --> you will be shocked:eek:.

This is how a complex Scenario can look:

Hi Cona,

Thank you for taking time out to explain I am going to sit threw and do porject after project to understand everything.

I know this is a lot to ask but is it possible for me to send you my Scenarist file and you can just tell me where I have gone wrong?

No time for one half hour. Reply after

Export your project to a script and I will take a look.

Hi Cona,

Please find script attached.
