I think I've got the hang of creating sequences in Premiere, importing them intto Encore, creating an ISO image, and then burning. I end up with chapters automatically inserted and it all works. Amazing really. The only problem is: the disk auto starts, so I need a button. I have purposely avoided learning about menus and so on, mainly because the 100 or so pages in the PDF scared me. I thought: "All this just to create menus?" And then when I did try to create a menu, all the relevant panels were empty. It seems I have to download 1.6 GB of stuff before I can do anything about menus. So I gave up.
At the moment, I put the disk in and away it goes. I have to rewind it and then press Pause, ready for when I want it to start. So…
QUES 1
Is there a simple way to create a Blu-ray disk that doesn't auto-play? I'd like a "Start" button. I'd like to put the disk in the player, which communicates with the projector, they sync to each other, and then when I press Play, or click the Start button the disk starts. Any style, colour, position, size of button is okay, but it has to be simple to obtain and simple to implement.
QUES 2
If a simple Start button is not possible, no button at all would be quite okay as long as when I press Play the disk starts. As part of setting up the Blu-ray, I selected a few options under First Play and Title Button, and others, not really knowing what I was doing, but it worked. Do any of those setup options allow me to tell the player not to play the disk when it is inserted?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions – but they have to be simple.
