pausing the menue?

[Babbage]

greetings people!

first of all, thank you guys for this excellent forum and of course a special thank you to Chrissyboy for an outstanding program!

now to my question..

everything is working perfectly with the movies and the menue.
though I can see the menue for about 4 sec and then the movie starts playing automatically.
I don't want this to be automatic, I want to be able to decide when to start the movie, by pressing the button by myself.

if this isn't possible, is there a way to at least increase the time, before a movie starts playing automatically?

ps: it is not a problem on my PC.

thanx in advance.

to keep in mind..

I use the latest registered version of the program and also been using the, 120 frames encoding setting and still I think the menue disappears to fast. (about 3-4 sec)

Chrissyboy, any suggestions?

try the other setting for the menu. Maybe that works..

What is your player?

hi ChrissyBoy!

I've tried changing the value to 1800, but I still get the same results. the menue disappears to fast. (about 3-4 sec).

in your post, on Feb 13, 2004 12:25 you wrote as follows;

"Well increasing the number of frames would only delay the "pause". 120 frames is about 4 seconds. so you would need to think about the duration that would be acceptable.....

Anyway, here is something you can try:

you can change the value (in your registry) of:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Badgersoft\DVD MenuMaker\EncodeSize


to a custom value. The # is the number of frames. remember that in PAL you have 25 frames per second and in NTSC you have 29.997 frames per second.... so you can work out your required frames for a given duration.

Also if your duration is over 5 seconds then the menu will loop. This also may get you to where you need to be.

(the above value will only be used by DVDMM if it can encode in a certain way. Some OS's can't so it encodes another way and this value will not be used. If this is the case i will make a code change so that it does....)

I suspect this Blur effect is an attribute of your player (does this happen on the PC?). If this is the case i too would be interested to see what another menu program would do differently.....

Sorry about the delay....."

so, I was thinking maybe DVDMM can't encode in this certain way, in my case..
what to do, any suggestions?

PS: I have,
Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 with Service Pack 1.

I have changed the way menus are created (under the hood), in v2. I shall put together some menus for you to test to see if this problem is resolved for you in the up and coming version.
