Trying to create a motion menu for a DVD using HD Pro and I keep getting the finished DVD's menu playing upside and freezing. I tried using a .avi and a .mov file for the menu both gave same results. Any ideas why it's doing this?

there are several video codecs that play upside down in DVDit PRO HD 6.4, I reported it but got a standard reply which was meaningless

to avoid this in the first place, use elementary stream m2v and ac3 files for movies and motion menus

Tmpg 4 Xpress does a great job

or if you have Edius

Hi Anton Just a quick 1, if you want to output the same project HD and SD you need to have a HD Avi file not elementry streem to output from the same project otherwise you will have to re do your project all over again meaning Double the amount of work (Encode Job twice HD SD & Twice relinking Chaptrers/menu's) Which means DVDit Pro HD cannot output HD & SD out of the same Project as advirtised. OOOOh by the way, I havn't got to the menu yet and my image is up side down at the first stage just IMPORTING my avi.

yes, I know, many avi files appear upside down in 6.4 but are correct in 6.3

uncompressed avi will work, if you have lots of disk space

but support was not helpful in that regard

DVD's I make with DVD-Lab PRO, so I need to do everything twice as you say, but DVD-Lab Pro is much more advanced, so I don't mind

Thanks heaps Anton. If I could buy you a bear or 2, I most definetly will. But the only problems with 6.3 is that it won't play back on stand alone blu ray players as I have heard?

If you have DivX installed then you could run into problems with FFDShow which gets installed as part of the DivX bundle.

Usually the first time you open a new install of DVDitProHD - if you have FFDshow installed - you will be asked to choose one of the following;
1. Do not run FFDShow this time
2. Never run FFDShow
3. Allow it this time
4. Always allow FFDShow

Whatever you choose don't choose 3 or 4!
