menu editing

[kryne]

i use instant copy to delete all special features but keep the menu, is there a way to edit the menu so the buttons are completely gone or a way to have it link to something saying that feature is disabled without having to rebuild the whole dvd like in doom9's guides, i use menuedit to delete the button but want to get rid of the writing as well so its like it was never there, if anyone could help it would be greatly apreciated

Take a look into MenuEdit Q&A. Question #3.

Dimad, I have followed that recipe as described in Q3, but still the menu items I removed are visible..I have doublechecked several times..
One dumb Q.. When I want to remove menu buttons, do I have to start to remove them from the "main" menu first, or do I have to start from the last instance of it, and remove the main button in the end?..(Hope you understand what I meant)

BTW...I´m using v2.01

YOu have to first understand that the button and the graphic for the button are 2 different things. MenuEdit removes the button, but the Graphic remains, the "button" just becomes non accessable.

I use Menuedit all the time. Its well worth the cost of registration.

Yeah, seems so...

Question:
3# Q: I've deleted a button with MenuEdit but it's still on the menu. Is it a bug?

Answer:
Most probably it's not. Just make sure that you remove all instances of the button, throughout the motion menus. Also make sure that there is only one group of buttons in your menus if you use unregistered copy of MenuEdit. You will need to register MenuEdit to edit/delete buttons in all groups.

As far as I understand the meaning of this...
MenuEdit should remove the buttons completly, not only the function..

Ahh..Should have scrolled a bit further down the page..Got it now..

4# Q: The button I removed still show up on the menu. For example, the DVD has two aspect ratio version: full and wide. I removed the button for the full version. When I start up the movie and go into setup to choose between full and wide version, I can only choose the wide version. The full version would be skipped. This is ok, but how can I remove the full version button so that the word “FULL” is not displayed on the menu anymore?

MenuEdit does remove buttons, but MenuEdit does not change menu graphics. It is possible to replace menu graphics, but to do this is not one click procedure. Neither too complicated, all depends on what authoring tool you have and how familiar you are with editing pictures, movies.
