I use DVD-A alot, but I don't know what it is you're trying to do. If it has to do with custom buttons or anything like that, I don't know b/c I use the stock graphics...

If you drag a PNG Image with an ALPHA on the menu it will show the transparency ,Just cant get it to with a TIFF Image.

I can do Custom set's to.Its just that this TIFF should work and I cant get it to.

canadateck,

First, if it works with PNG, why do you want to use TIF?

Second, TIFF format doesn't have Alpha channel transparency, PNG does.

Third, my DVDA 2.0b doesn't even allow me to insert TIFF image into the menu or use it as background image for the menu. It expects QT 6 movie with TIF extention.

Your Right.

I just read that to use .Tif you must have QuickTime installed. But still no transparency , Not sure where I read it,Just looked through the help files and thats what I came up with.

Thanks for the help.
