MenuMaker

Hi, Chrissyboy!

Two more questions. Let's start with the simplest.

1) I noticed that the Background piccies you provide are 72dpi. Mine generally are 300 dpi. How does one turn a 300 into a 72, or is this not necessary at all, as long as they are the right size?

2) I now make the Menus before starting SVCD2DVD, and load them in step 4. Works excellently. Only, the program hoards them somewhere in the Windows folder, which in my case is on a partition ONLY for Windows Me, because it has to be smallish (1Gb) for (MS-stupid) technical reasons. Everything that can be stored elsewhere, is. Is it possible to make DVDMenumaker store its historic produce on another partition/drive? Or am I allowed to delete some of the earlier ones, as it is highly unlikely that I will use them again?

Make me happy soon.

P.S. Just found out that one can change DPI in IrfanView 3.80 and higher.

Hi, Chrissyboy!

Not exactly a reply..

Since the DVDMenuMaker update it has become more difficult to place the title buttons in a symmetrical way, same distance to one another, centred, etc.

I now have renamed "default.jpg" to "default.org.jpg" and turned a copy of Background B032.jpg into "default.jpg". The great thing about B032 is that it has a grid, so one can line up things neatly with the black blocks which appear when one moves a button.

Maybe this is some use to some. It is to me.

The dpi issue: I don't know off the top of my head - I'll just experiment & get back to you.

DVD MenuMaker save stuff in the standard application working folder. On my PC it is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Application Data\Badgersoft\DVD MenuMaker

In Win ME that location maybe under the windows folder......

Anyway in the future yes you will be able to save stuff elsewhere. You can also delete everything in that folder after you have used your menus (i.e created your VIDEO_TS folder)

Allignment, snap to grid, grid lines etc are on the todo list.
