Background Music and DVD Workshop

[Lula1]

Hi guys,

I placed a MP3 file as background music for all my DVD menus , using Ulead DVD Workshop.

But each time I go from one menu to another the MP3 starts playing from beginning. I would like it to play continuously and seemlesly.
Is there a way to do that ?

Also, is it better to use WAV files instead of MP3 files ?
I have heard some people having problems with MP3 , maybe due to the bitrate ?

Thank´s .

Ulead automatically converts the mp3 to wav. Because it is not possible to have mp3 in dvd-video/menus/backgrounds.

Hi Baldrick,

Thank's for the info.
But how about the main point of my thread, that is,
how to avoid the background music to restart each time
I change from one menu to another ?

Thank's

I'm not aware of a way to do this. You could have different music for each menu.

Anyone else knows how to solve this problem ?

Unfortunately, each menu has it's own music and starts from the beginning when that menu is selected.

You can use a wav, mp3 and mpeg 1 layer 2 audio file. The mp3 and mpeg1 layer 2 are converted to wav. Unless you are cramped for disk hard disk space I wold use wav.
