DVdstyler is a good start, maybe you won't need at all to change it for another. However, if you just want to jump* (not to call**) a specific chapter, this is very easy to be done, all DVD authoring software have this possibility. I'm not sure DVDstyler can do this, the only application I'm aware of reusing the cells without duplicating (triplicating etc.) the space on the DVD being Scenarist (as a newbie you'll be able to learn all the features Scenarist has just in time for the diamond wedding ). You have to create several PGCs that reuse the scenes (which will be seen as independent cells), but this would add navigation commands to each cell and thus any consecutive play, including the PLAY ALL button, would play them with pauses in between. I'm afraid there's no easy task for someone really newbie in this field. I know that there is a Script Code that can be used in certain circumstances but I don't have a clue as to how this can be used in a situation like this. I'm completely new to this and I don't understand your answer. As I said before, I would have thought that this would be a very basic requirement for a Button to provide. Something along the lines of, for example "Jump to Title 1 Chapter 2 When Chapter = 3 go back to Menu" I know that this is not the proper syntax but I'm sure you know what I mean. I was hoping that there would be an easy way that it could be done by using a line of Script but it is very difficult to find information or examples of this on the web. This would be very awkward as the movie would contain transitions etc and it would have to be broken again up after editing in Movie Maker and then each clip saved separately. I already spotted the method that you suggest of breaking up the movie into a number of small clips (Titles). So I assume that there is no way of coding this into the Button Properties. I notice that the Manual says that a Button that has a Jump to a Chapter will play the video starting at that Chapter and it says nothing about being able to specify where the clip should end. I have read the Manual that you have the link to and it is quite good. Much of this information is contained in the DVD Styler manual, which can be downloaded from. This will insert a VM command following your title, so that when your title is finished playing, execution will return to the menu. From the Post Command drop-down box, select the command that returns to the menu. Now the drop-down Action list will contain a selection of possible VM commands that could be executed by a button-press, such as "jump to title 1", "jump to title 2", and so forth.Įach title can be right-clicked to set properties. (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. I’m a newbie and I hope that I’ve posted this question in the correct part of the Forum.
