    Recently I try to re-authoring one of my favourite movie by removing some Audio and Subtitle.
    Then I try to edit the menu to delete unuse button. If the menu is image I can do it but this time, the menu is motion menu like the picture below.



    (The Black box is the zone that have motion and others is only still image)

    I try to edit "Text 3" out of this menu.

    I use VobEdit to demux this menu into *.mpv and *.ac3 file already.

    Are the any rough guide about how to edit it ?

    Suggestion please,

    I'd try to do it a simple way.
    In TDA2(3) you can generate menu in a fake project (with any short video and same number of chapters as shown in your menu) using a template with text buttons. Set motion menu options to 'motion background and audio' and go to edit page. Set your demuxed video as background picture and demuxed ac3 as background audio. Disable showing 'play all' button. Add image object from file (over background video), position and resize it for hiding original text buttons. Move it back (from right-click on object menu) to make your new text buttons visible over it, position the buttons and edit text/font/effects. Output the project with the new menu. (In simple case you could re-author your DVD this way).
    Then you can replace original menu with the edited one using one of the existing manuals.
    A simple way to replace menu is doing it in DVDRemake Pro with 'replace block' option (help file describes it in detail).

  3. Here's how I would do it, and how I have done it many times:

    I'd follow my guide here:

    https://forum.videohelp.com/topic313743.html#1606732

    and I would edit the menu by saving it as a BMP and then editing it as you used to do with static menus. When you get to Step 3, the Editing part, I would reencode just the motion part by cropping down to it. And then I would place that small reencoded part over the top of the edited BMP. You do both at the same time; reencode that small part of the menu screen and place it back on top of the edited BMP, using an AviSynth script that goes something like this:

    LoadPlugin("C:\Path\To\DGDecode.dll")
    A=ImageSource("C:\Path\To\Background.bmp")
    B=MPEG2Source("C:\Path\To\Menu.d2v")
    A=A.ConvertToYUY2()#for CCE
    B=B.Crop(xxx,yyy,-xxx,-yyy)#where the xxx, yyy, -xxx, and -yyy are the crop values for the motion part alone
    B=B.ConvertToYUY2()#for CCE
    Overlay(A,B,X=xxx,Y=yyy)
    You can do it with entirely freeware tools by using the HCEnc. If so, replace the ConvertToYUY2() calls with ConvertToYV12(). Then follow the rest of the guide to complete the process.

    You can also do it by reencoding the entire menu and just covering up the writing you want to get rid of by cropping a small rectangle (of white?) and overlaying it on the writing.
