Sound on DVD Author Menus...

[willshakespeare]

Hi,

I haven't managed to do this yet. It would be a nice feature. However, I did notice something, which I will try at a later date (soon), but would like to know if anyone has done thsi successfully yet with DVD AUthor:

I notice in DVD Author, you can add a "moving" background image. I wonder if you could create a "moving" background which comprises a still picture, but with a soundtrack? And then add this as a "moving" background, even though it isn't actually moving... just playing sound (music or whatever).

The above makes sense to me, but I am a newbie really, and I am finishing off my final University Software project this year for my degree, so I'm seriously lacking in time at the moment.

I will give it a try in a couple of weeks, and post back my results.

But... if anyone has already done this, I'd appreciate a heads up.

Will

Sure! You'll have to load the image you want as the background into a video timeline of any non linear video editor and add the music you want to the audio time line. Extend the Video to match the length of the audio and render it to MPG-2 NTSC and use that video clicp as youor "Moving" background of your meny.

It is silly that you have to go to this much trouble to add audio to your menu, but this is the only way to do it in tmpgenc DVD author.
