Toast Dvd-Video Menue Buttons Not Showing More Than 17 Letters

[LenaBreadBurn]

Hello,

 

if i burn a DVD-video, the result has these little pictures with the name of the movie under it, which serves as start button for the movie. But it always shows the title under the preview/thumb picture only half and the goes ...

 

Is there a way to change that?

 

thanks!

I think the available space for titles is defined in the menu style, but it will be roughly the same for any of the styles.

You can edit the title to shorten it, but you can't change the available space for titles to accommodate for longer titles.

Thanks, but it seems every menue has the same style, if is 6 thumbnail-pictures divided by 2 rows.

Like this:

O O O

O O O

(imagine the O is a square picture)

 

I will try, if I can use the second and third field under the name field (date and playing-time) for the rest of the title. Unfortunately I can only test it in DVD-Player (the Application in Mac OS X) and not on a real standalone-player.

Testing in Apple DVD Player is fine, as the authored DVD will be the same on a real stand alone player, as far as the menu content is concerned. When encoded, the menu is rendered as images, so the menu and its titles should look the same on any device or app.
