Hi All,
I'm hoping you can help me. I'm using a Windows machine. I've created a video in Premiere CS5, dynamic linked it to Encore CS5 and created a Main Menu (with a button to play the whole video and a button to the sub menu) and Sub Menu for scene selection (Containing 9 scene buttons and back button). It works fine with the simulation Remote control buttons on Encore's Preview test.
I have burnt the DVD and tested it in two DVD players one old and one new. The Main menu shows but I can't do anything else. It's animated but it pauses/freezes and them moves again, so it doesn't play smooth on either.
On one DVD player occasionally it looks like you can select the up and down button on the DVD remote control to select the two buttons, but nothing happens when you press the remote Play Button.
I've played it on my computer the menu selects fine with the mouse. The video however played for a few mins before it froze. But I'm not to concerned with the computer play. Just need it to work on DVD.
I have clicking on the 'Show Button Routing' button in the Menu viewing window and NONE of the buttons left, right, up or down are set to 0. So if I'm right in believing the remote should be able to navigate around all the buttons. However, I'm not sure whether the Auto Routing is ticked somewhere as I can't find it. My gut feeling is that this isn't the problem as the menu does not play smoothly and is freezing on and off like it's malfunctioning.
Any advice would be great. Many thanks,
Eve
