What I want is, when the user puts the DVD into their player, to get a menu with the options all appearing at once:
- Play All
- Act I
- Act II
- Act III
How do I do this?
At the moment, MyDVD only allows me to create a menu & submenu. It displays the name of the production. When you click that, it goes into the submenu where you can then see the 4 options listed above. I don’t want that. I want users to have the 4 options straight away, without having to go through a menu to a submenu. If I delete the highest menu in the hierarchy, it just deletes my movie.
I have marked the beginning of each Act as a chapter.
The sequence of my production if played in full is:
Opening titles > Introduction by the Director > Act I > Act II > Act III with End Credits.
What I want, in more detail, is this:
All 4 buttons to appear on the one menu as soon as the DVD is popped into your player.
Button a: “Play All” – to play from Opening titles to End Credits.
Button b: “Act I” – to jump to Act 1
Button c: “Act II” – to jump to Act 2
Button d: “Act III” – to jump to Act 3
I have a feeling that it may not be possible to have all the menu options at the same level & that the nearest which can be done in MyDVD 9 is as shown here:
If I follow the above suggestion, am I doubling the movie size by copying & pasting the original movie in the menu & degrading the resulting image quality?
