Link Menu Buttons to Subtitle Track in Encore DVD 2.0?

I desperately need help with subtitles in DVD 2.0. I did: “Timeline > Add Subtitle Track” on each of my 10 timelines. I added a few subtitle texts to check how it works. So far so good. I created a submenu with “Select Subtitle, etc.” Then I tried to ‘link’ the Subtitle Button on this menu to subtitle track #1 – but it wasn't available in the Subtitle Button’s Properties panel’s Link drop down menu (and the Override drop down menu was grayed out).The Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 Manual says (on p. 222) that “You can set the audio or subtitle track with any link control (such as End Action or Override) in the Properties panel.” This doesn't seem to be the case unless I am doing something wrong (most probably). Also, on the same page, the manual says that “2. Select a button to set … the subtitle track… 3. In the Properties panel, choose Specify Other from the Link pop-up menu.” There is no “Specify Other” selection in the list. (One comment: The subtitle track does not show up in the Project panel – may be this is the problem?) I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Laci.

HI Bill, I have another subtitle question. I finished my first (big) Encore DVD 2.0 project yesterday (). I build the DVD image but when I tried to burn it to a DVD disk it turned out that the project has about 122 million more bytes than what would fit on the disk (). So, with PE 7, I edited some of the 9 movies in the project (exported them with same name, to the same place as during the first time) and I opened the Encore project.  I noticed that it used the old (imported by Encore) avi files. Then I did something not very smart: deleted the old (and long) avi. files from the project and imported the edited (and shorter) new avi files. At this point, I noticed, that my laboriously created subtitles disappeared  .
Do these subtitles still exist somewhere? There is a file in the project, called "SpuSplit.ses" in the SubtitleDataFiles folder but I do not know how to open it or if it would help at all. More important: What should I do next time to save the subtitles (or audio for that matter) if I still want to make some (minor) editing on my project after building the DVD?  (I assume that I have to create the subtitles in script files and then import them as many times as I want. Am I right?)
Thanks for any help, Laci.
(BTW, I uploaded my picture and it is in 'My Profile' but does not show up with these massages.)

  • Link menu buttons to subtitles??

    Hi! I've got a pretty big problem. I created a new DVD-project with Encore CS3 and imported subtitles in two languages, english and portuguese. Now I have the idea, that the user of this DVD can select the subtitles in a submenu. As it is often used in normal movie-DVDs. But how can I do this?!
    To sum my problem up, I want this function:
    I hope you can understand, I really need your help!
    Greetings from Germany,
    Erando

    Now here are my observations comparing Blu-Ray build to DVD build as far as subtitles issues, in general, are concerned.
    1- Although ,as you well know, each project has a default subtitle and audio track that    initially is active the moment you insert your Media (blu-ray or DVD). On a normal DVD when you hit the "Play Movie" button in the Main menu, movie starts and the default subtitle is active . On a blu-ray Disc the default subtitle track is not active - and playback has no subtitle at all unless you select subtitle Button on your remote and select a language track .
    2- On a DVD each subtitle track displays its language on the screen when you use the "subtitle " remote control button; i.e. English ,French or whatever etcc.. are dispayed on the screen. On a Blu-ray DISC all languages become English !
    3- Adobe useful Help recommends and insists on a Gap of 2 frames between each subtitle for Blu-Ray projects. Well not even 6 frames are enough you need a minimum of 8 frames gap between each subtitle which makes short subtitle lines  duration very short - the moment they appear they disappear very fast.
    It is a  real Pitty because Encore Cs4 is a wonderful application .Unlike other complains that I randomly witness in the forum I never Had a problem with DTS audio or AC3 or H264 or MPEG or any other error like build error or audio error and all the streams I use are High Def 1920 x1080 always show on the project panel as : dont transcode for blu-ray settings . everything is great but this tiny small issue that I could not so far master

  • Linking menu buttons to pages for an Android app

    Hi all. Ok im a bit of a rookie when it comes to flash but here is my dilema. I want to link a button on my main page, to another page with info on it.
    For example: my main page has the buttons" PS3"... "Xbox 360"...."P.C" I want each of these buttons to link to an alphabetical list, ie: A-Z. And id like to be able to do this without the need for an internet connection. I have tried googling it but i could not find an answer to this. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great.

    You'll need to be sure to include stop() commands in each scene.  I recommend you just get away from using scenes at all... they are problematic when you try to mox them with navigation.  Just place your pages in different frames of the same timelines or just have them as movieclips that you control them being shown (or a little of both).
    AS far as the flickering from scene to scene goes, that's most often an indication that you have coding errors.  Do you get any kind of coding error messages?
    This is a weak spot for me because I have not developed apps for mobile devices.  Because support for developing apps is a recent feature of Flash, I think that you can't use AS2 to do that.  The on(release) code you say you are using is AS2.  I have to believe that you need to use AS3 to be programming for an app, though I might be entirely wrong in thinking that.

  • Re-linking menu buttons to chapter marker

    Hi
    I've imported my movie (with chapter markers) from iMovie to iDVD, but for one of the scene selection buttons I wanted a still photo as opposed to moving pictures. So I dragged a jpeg to the position and replaced the button. However when I came to play the DVD, that button now no longer links to the movie, and when pressed just shows the still picture. Is there any way I can re-establish the link from the button to the chapter marker, or is it gone for good? (Please don't tell me I have to start from scratch and re-import the movie again!)
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer

    There was a Topic here a few days ago about doing what you tried. Might look around.

    What code have you tried?  Where do you have the code planted?  If you plant all of the code in one place, such as the main timeline then it might be easier for you to manage targeting whichever objects you intend to.

  • Menu buttons not working/highlighting on burned DVD

    Hi all,
    So, I'm encountering a problem with my iDVD 7.1.1 project.  When I burn a DVD of my project and play it in my BluRay DVD player (It's a new LG), the menus on the first screen that come up work fine, but once I go to any menu off those, the highlight button color and button effect flash a few times on my first option (which, in this case, is "play movie") and then disappear.  I have a few other options in that same menu and I can't highlight any of them.  After about 5 or 10 seconds of pressing the select button on my remote, I can sometimes get the first "play movie" option to work, and my movie will start playing.  The project I've created works fine when I save it to a disc image, mount it on my computer, and play it in DVD Player- I can navigate perfectly through all my menus and all button highlighting works properly.  It also works perfectly previewing it in iDVD.  Per advice on the board, I've burned a DVD-R at 4x write speed with Toast, using the Disc Copy option and reading from my mounted image file DVD.  Media is Memorex.  I've encoded the DVD project at Professional Quality.  I suppose it could be an issue with my player, so I'm going to attempt to use another DVD player later today and see what happens.  Does anyone have any other suggestions or things I can try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Evan

    For anyone else that may encounter this problem, I found a solution on the boards that another user (colorgrader1) discovered: it has to do with static menus being set to a timed loop duration:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2242205?threadID=2242205
    If you set the loop time to "0 seconds," the problem is fixed and the DVD will play in standalone DVD players.

  • How do You create menu buttons that move up and down with a remote?

    I have six menu items that are linked to their proper locations. When I simulated it a Hand moves over the proper choice then when I click there we go.
    But on the DVD simulator you can't navigate. I thought maybe I would bring in one of the templates to use their buttons I can't get my images to replace theirs. Any help appreciated.
    Jerome

    Take a look here to make sure buttons are being set properly
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07m.php
    And download the movie if you like
    I create a button, then set the text and include highlights
    I then create another button, then set the text and the include highlights
    I then click on the menu and go to the inspector to see colors
    RED Normal
    BLUE Selected
    YELLOW Activated
    In simulater I then use the remote control and CANNOT navigate through the buttons
    I stop Simulator and then use Auto Assign Buttons Now Command, then relaunch Simulator and get the remote control to work
    Make sure to link the button to the track you want to go to.
    I thought the issue is that you cannot navigate the buttons with the remote control? If you only have one button on the screen, it will always be selected (Yellow in your project as described)
    If it is flashing Megenta and nothing happens, it means a target has not been set (or somehow you are targeting the menu again)
    So the only two condiitions you will see is yellow or magenta.

  • Menu Buttons not working

    I have produced a DVD from movies made in imovie HD 6.0.3 using iDVD version 6.0.4 and find that the buttons cannot all be selected by the DVD player remote control and also the buttons do not appear to be navigated in the correct order. I would appreciate some advive, please.

    Different themes seem to work differently, but in general I have found that the buttons in iDVD created DVDs don't always behave like commercial DVDs in respect to what happens when I hit buttons on my DVD player remote. It been that way as long as I remember.
    iDVD includes MANY simplifying assumptions that make things easier for home users. If you want full control of what the menu buttons do, you need something like DVD Studio Pro. Most of us just live with the 'quirks'.

  • Adobe encore dvd 2 no reproduce ac3 audio

    On a fresh installation of Encore dvd 2 Full After importing any dolbd
    ac3 resource encore do not reproduce the sound.
    Using windows media player the same results.
    Have I install Other software for hearing this type of audio tracks in encore dvd 2 ?
    Motherboard Asus a8v deluxe - I can hear in Adobe others sort of sounds (mp3 mp2 wav)
    Thanks a lot

    Maskio.
    What did you use to create the AC3 files?
    I use this all the time - as in on a daily basis - in EncoreDVD and have no trouble at all playing back the imported Dolby Digital files.
    There are 2 things that instantly leap to mind here:
    1 - Non compliant AC3 files, created with garbage like BeSweet or similar.
    2 - Conflicting filters installed to your system, for example the "AC3filter" being set up incorrectly.
    My guess is that you have one of these problems - or both.
    DTS audio is supported in passthrough mode. This is made clear in the manuals, and the Audio has to be prepared outside of Encore - or you cannot check the encodes.
    Checking for Audio/Video sync should be a simple matter - and is NOT something that should be done using EncoreDVD - it should be done in the POST process. This is the usual way that authoring applications work.

  • Blu-ray menu button made with dynamic link won't work on Blu-ray disc

    Windows 7
    CS6 cloud
    Ok.  So I used dynmamic link to my encore project and I also imported an mpg.4 as an asset for a separate menu button.  I have two buttons on linked to the premire pro project and one linked to the mpg.4.  Everything works fine in preview and the flow chart is fine everything is going where its supposed to go. 
    When I play the blu-ray disc the menu shows, the video thumbnails show...but when I hit the menu button that is supposed to play the premier pro video it does not work.  But when I hit the menu button for the mpeg.4 video it does work.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on?

    Please post a screenshot of your flowchart.

  • Menu Button Links Aren't Lost When Adding Additional Premiere Chapter Points

    I have a single overriding need in Encore. All other enhancements are secondary.
    Problem: If you change Premiere chapter points in a sequence, the Encore menu buttons lose all the chapter point links when the sequence is reloaded.
    Let's look at the work flow for a real world production situation.
    I create a Premiere sequence with 16 sequence markers as chapter points. In Encore, I create a timeline using the encoded Premiere sequence. I then link buttons in a menu to the chapter points in the timeline. My customer reviews the proto and invariably wants the following changes:
    1) Add additional chapter points.
    2) Move existing chapter points.
    3) Add or remove some footage from the Premiere sequence.
    Ideally, I should be able to add or move chapter points in the Premiere sequence including adding or removing footage. Upon entering Encore, Encore should realize from the date of the encoded m2v and wav sequence files used by the Encore timeline that something has changed and reload the modified files into the timeline. By looking at the chapter names in the Premiere sequence, Encore should match the chapter names in the menu buttons with the Premiere chapter names. Encore should then assume that the Premiere chapter points have moved and accordingly have the menu button point to the new location on the timeline (at the appropriate GOP location).

    Use the edit original command.
    Encore takes you into Premiere.
    Move the chapter points to different locations.
    Save
    Export -> Adobe Media Encoder (Use same file name)
    Encore progress bar indicates it is reloading.
    However, the Encore timeline shows the chapter points at the original locations.

  • Adobe Encore Menu Buttons

    I have a menu that works find when I preview in on my pc.  it highlights the buttons and when I press play it plays the linked video.
    I build the project and then burn the dvd, I put it in my dvd player and the menu opens up but when I click the arrows on the remote I do not see any
    highlighted buttons.  It must be moving because if I het play it plays different sections,  I just can not tell what menu button it will play because I do not see the highlights.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I just Sat here for 5 hours trying different things and still no luck

    On my preview my buttons worked.  I do know that for something to be a
    button it has to be named with    check out this linke

    mine did not work when put in the DVD player.  I found out instead of making
    a DVD folder I could write directly to the DVD and everything worked.  Must
    have been something in CD creator.  I usually take a pre-made menu and then

  • Can't get my dropdown menu buttons to link to another scene.

    I can’t get my dropdown menu buttons to link to other scenes within the same Flash file.  The buttons are unresponsive during playback – as if no code were attached to it.  Here’s what I have as my AS2 code on the dropped button that is supposed to link to the "Published" scene/page:
    on(release){
    _root.gotoAndPlay("published", 1);
    I'm working with Actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS6.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi kglab,
    I do get these compile errors:
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
    Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 2 Statement must appear within on handler
    But, I think you are correct about the setInterval Loop.  On the home scene I’ve created a movie symbol which is set to call another swf file:
    loadMovie("frontSlideshow.swf", _root.movie1);
    This frontSlideshow.swf file has the following code in every 10 frames:
    this.stop();
    pause = function ()
                   play();
    clearInterval(pausei);
    pausei = setInterval(pause, 5000);
    This will pause the timeframe every 5 seconds before sliding to the next frame so that each image can be viewed.  It seems odd that the code from this subclass file would affect the timeframe of the main class/file where the “movie1” symbol is located.
    Best,
    Rob

  • Flash menu in DW, how do I link the buttons?

    Hi there!
    I have a problem, i'm creating a site in dreamweaver with a
    lot of flash objects. For examlpe I'm making a flash menu, wich is
    the hole problem! I'm importing the flash file to the left frame in
    dreamweaver and i'm trying to link the buttons (on the menu) to ex.
    "home" or "about me", though it doesn't work! I can't link the
    buttons because they're in this flash object. I know i'm doing it
    wrong with trying to link the buttons on the flash object but I
    don't know what else to do. And the thing is that i don't wanna use
    the buttons already existing in DW, i've made my own ones. The
    buttons are moving so there is one more problem, they're coming in
    from the right side (in the left frame) and bounces once, and then
    they stop. And that's when I wan't them clickable. So how do I make
    the buttons linking to the pages??
    Would really appreciate an awnser!
    Thanks !

    Flash links are made in Flash, not DW.
    I trust these links are not important, as search engines
    can't see them

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 Template - Main menu button not going to correct page link

    Hi,
    Please help me, as i am new to Adobe Dreamweaver.
    I created a website in Dreamweaver CS3, then recently changed to CS5.5, firstly i couldn't get the templates to update, but by playing around i managed to get the template up update all the pages. #
    I am now having problems when i click on the link in the website, it seems to be looking in the templates folder for the html page.
    Website addrerss: www.malegroominglounge.co.uk
    Pages that i am having problems with when i click in the menu buttons : Male Waxing, Contact Us & Find us,
    This is sometimes working but most of the time comes up with: 'Page cannot be found' and when looking at the URL it is e.g http://www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/Templates/malewaxing.html
    Why is it looking at the templates folder?
    I have checked the template file in menu url and it has not got an extension to look in the 'templates' folder.
    Could someone please help?

    Hi
    Thanks for your investigation.
    Yes i can now see on the source that it is using the templates folder e.g (www.malegroominglounge.co.uk/templates/findus.html), but when I go into dreamweaver template, the code i see is:
      <div id="sidebar1">
        <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
          <li><a href="index.html" class=" style1 style21">Home</a> </li>
          <li><a href="aboutus.html" class="style35">About Us</a></li>
          <li><a href="malewaxing.html" class="style35">Male Waxing</a> </li>
          <li><a href="malemassage.html" class="style35">Male Massage</a></li>

          <li><img src="holisticguild300.jpg" width="130" height="46" hspace="3" /></li>
        </ul>
    So not sure what i'm doing wrong.
    Can I just check that the 'Don't rewrite relative document paths' check box should be unticked (this is found in DW CS5.5 - Site - Manage Site - Edit - Advanced Settings - Templates)
    Any help much appreciated
    Cheers
