![]() ![]() ![]() (You can also find the "Add File" command in the main menu bar.) Your timeline will then show a single menu screen followed by as many separate titles as you have added.Īfter adding the titles, go back to the menu screen and right-click on a button to bring up the properties window. Each segment that you wish to play would be contained in its own file.Īdd each file as a separate title to DVD Styler by right-clicking on the project timeline area at the bottom of the screen, and choosing "Add File". The easiest way to do this would be to first divide your video into separate files, or 'titles'. I would have thought that this would be a very basic requirement to be provided by the Buttons on a DVD Menu in an application such as DVDStyler but maybe I’m just missing something simple.Īs I understand your question, you want to press a menu button, play a certain segment of your video, and then return to the menu. I have read the Help and also the User Manual but they are very simplistic and of no help in this. To jump to the Best Man’s speech or the Bride and Groom’s first dance in a wedding video). However I can’t figure how to get the movie to start playing from this same Frame when the particular Button is clicked and then end on a specified Frame. I can show the picture of particular Frames of the movie as a background on each Button of the DVD Menu by setting this in the Button’s Properties. I'm now trying to figure how to use Menus with Buttons in DVDStyler so that I can enhance my DVDs. I used DVDStyler to create a DVD that plays the full movie on my TV. I have an AVI Video file that I created using Windows Movie Maker that has multiple clips and with Transitions between each of the Clips in it. This appears to be a good software package for someone like me, who just wants to learn about DVD authoring and to burn some Video recordings onto DVDs in a simple manner. I‘m very new to DVD Authoring and I have just downloaded and started to use DVDStyler 1.8.1. Perhaps Tomasc might like to give a step-by-step guide, as I've done, on how to achieve these other methods.I’m a newbie and I hope that I’ve posted this question in the correct part of the Forum. Of course, as Tomasc suggests, there are other methods. Sadly PD14 only burns at either DVD HQ or Smart Fit, and "Smart Fit" suggests to me that some part(s) of a clip might be jettisoned in order to fit the content onto disc, something which does not at all appeal to me. If you're putting anything more than 1 hour's worth of content on your DVD, it's worth hanging onto earlier versions of Power Director for this purpose, e.g., Power Director 8 will allow what I described, plus you can burn at DVD SP, which means you can fit up to 2 hours of content, and if you "push the envelope" a it, you can get up to 2 hours and nearly 30 extra minutes worth of content onto the disc. Yes! That's what I'm describing, provided of course the disc has capacity to hold the content. If I understand this correctly, you are discussing putting say 3 separate movies on a DVD, with their own menues? Follow steps 1 to 4 for each new title.ħ.Once all that setting is done, this leaves the "Playback Mode" to be set, this is where(for your purposes) you select Option C = Play the selected title only. Click on any one that may suit your fancy and make whatever adjustments you wish.Ħ.If you want to add more "titles", simple. By clicking on the last-named, this will take you into the Edit Mode of Power Director, this is normal, Here, the Chapter Room will be automatically selected, set your chapters, either manually, at your own points in the title, or automatically by evenly-spaced chapters(choose your own number of chapters), or at given intervals(choose the length and as many chapters will be created to suit).Ĥ.Click on the first "chapter" then play a bit until a desired scene appears to use as a "thumbnail", select it by clicking on the icon styled as a "portrait with arrow pointing down".ĥ.Click on "Create Disc" again, all your chapters are now in place, you can now(after a moment as PD updates the menu page) select the style of menu by clicking the tag, "Menu Preferences". Here's a step-by-step guide.ġ.Upon opening Power Director(any version from PD8 onwards), go straight to "Create Disc".Ģ.Under the Highlighted "Content" tag is the icon(plus-symbol & Filmstrip, may vary in later PD versions), click here to import your "titles".ģ.Once you've imported your title, if you hold the cursor over it, you'll see four options - play delete edit title set chapters. ![]() This is a Power Director feature that truly amazed me when I came across it in PD8, and I certainly make use of it where I can, but I don'y try to "push" it by putting more than, perhaps, 3 "titles" onto a disc. ![]()
