Animating DVD buttons How do you animate buttons that have become static?

I'm not sure how to change the properties of DVD buttons. Somehow I unanimated them on my menus and now I want to re-animate them. The Help describes going to View-Settings, and talks about tabs and button properties that I don't seem to have access to. My View-Settings is very basic with no tabs and for verifying the graphics and such.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Great thanks,
Juli

Varies by the version of V8 that you have - which one - essentials, suite or deluxe?

If you do not have a total of about 245 transitions in either the suite or the deluxe versions it is because your video card/chips won't handle the work load put on it by V8. Update your video drivers. What card/chips do you have?

Unfortunately that is the version number of the "Home". Go to Video Wave and look at the version there. if it is 8.0 you probably have the suite and you should update that. If it is 8.05 you have the suite. If the build is 8.06 you have the deluxe.
In any case, update the drivers for that card here; it is new to you but may have been built awhile ago.

I have version 8 Build 805B56B ENU. Is this version 8.05? Does this mean I should have those transitions and that I can't see them due to my video card? It seems like I have a lot more content on the CD than what actually shows up, though. Like I only have very few themes and not nearly the ability to customize that I had in 7.5.
OH yes, and do you know how I can re-animate my DVD buttons?
Thank you!

Did you install the content disc or download? That's where most of the transitions are. Try this, open MyDVD since that is where you are working and go to the top menu Tools> Options and run the rendering test. There is no feedback on the test but the little dot should be next to hardware. If it is not, there is something wrong with the card or the driver update. Did you follow all the instructions?
I don't have V8 Suite on my computer but I thought that the button animation was the default and it could not be changed to be a still. Perhaps someone with V8 Suite will post.

So that clinches it...it must be my choice of video card! Thank you!!!!
It's funny...I have those transitions in 7.5 and my card renders them just fine, so why it can't do it in 8, I'm not sure. But it doesn't pass the test to render them with Hardware in 8. But I'm going to try leaving Hardware selected and see if it can render those transitions, anyway.
Thank you!

Julif, did you install those drivers properly? That video card should be more than sufficient to render in hardware. Also Install the latest version of DirectX. Download it here. Go to the ATI card settings and set your card/display performance to best performance and away from best appearance. I don't have an ATI card so I can show you how. I believe it is part of Catalyst.
That test should default to hardware if the drivers are installed properly unless something else is wrong.
You may get freeze ups if you force the setting to hardware.

I added some of the 3D transitions to a movie and told it to render while I'm at work. So I can't wait to see if I get home and find I've either frozen or if it worked.
Thank you!

Not ActiveX; DirectX 9c is what you want. to update.

Sorry for almost ignoring that question, To be honest, I don't know. Have you tried a different menu style> Have you burned the project to a DVD RW to see if the menu buttons are animated? Perhaps someone else has an idea.

The menu is pretty much customized with my own background, music and more buttons and no text.
Oh well...it's no big deal. I know that if I create a new one, they will animate (tried it). Just wondering how to do it once it's been undone.
Thanks!
