GUI_DVDAuthor button problem

[RKDYork]

I am trying to create a main menu with a white background, some text and a single button to play the movie. I then create the DVD and try and play it using PowerDVD. I have found that problems with this are duplicated on my Philips DVD so it saves wasting time burning disks. Whatever button colour I use, it flashes in PowerDVD and won't select. I have managed previously with a white button on a blue background, but this time I want to use white. It seems to flash between the normal and highlight colour. I have tried changing the colours in defaults, but they get ignored and the highlight colour seems to be picked automatically somehow. Any suggestions?

Maybe you have activated 'animated menus', but no animated elements exist on the menu. Then the (single frame) menu loops in parts of seconds. After each loop the button is reselected. This causes the flashing of the highlight color. In the new version I will have a check for 'wrong looping' menus.

Changing the highlight color of a menu can be done with def. settings only as long as the project is empty. Afterwards, use the menu properties dialg itself (right click on the menu background)

Borax,

You are right once again! I unchecked the loop button and that solved the problem.

Incidently I am trying to add an audio track to the menu. What formats does GFD support? I have the track in WMA, WAV and MP3, but it doesn't show to be selected. How can I get one of these to the correct format?

Thanks

mp2 or ac3 (like usual). You can use besweet or ffmpeggui to transcode your audio into one of these formats. One remark: According to another user you should use either one frame (Def Settings Permanent: Number of frames for still menus=1) or select 'Full length' for 'Video encoding of still picture menu with sound only' in the menu background animation settings.
