I always have problems with PD 13 menu.
For background music I chose an mp3 of 2 minutes and 28 seconds.
When I'm in the preview menu, the music plays only for 18 seconds.
I do not understand why. I ask for help. Thank you W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal

The Create Disc/Playback mode button opens a new window and allows you to change that from 18 seconds up to 99 seconds for the music duration for the root menu.

Are you referring to Magic Music? The tune titles written in white only preview for about 18 seconds, whereas the blue play longer as necessary. The difference between the blue and the whites titles is you have to purchase the white and the blue are free.

If that's not what you referrring to we will need more information as I could not replicate the problem in PD13 Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

For The Shadowman, I do not mean Magic Music.
But only to the free music to add to the background menu. Thank you. W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal

Finally I understood. Only on the Main Menu the duration can be set.
On the Titles Menu the music plays only for 18 seconds. A real bug.
Does this happen in version 16 too?
Thank you for your complete answer.
You who are Senior suggest this change to Ciberlynk. W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal

It sound like that you are using a still image for the background instead of a video clip which is allowed. The still image allows a time of 15 sec. on the chapters page. The time on the Titles/Chapter page can be changed by using a workaround. Simply make a video of the time duration you want for the background. See these posts: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/17273.page and this one: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/43900.page#226987 .

I thank tomasc for the help
I apologize for not looking in the forum.
I do not know English and it is very difficult for me to do research.
Finding alternative solutions is useful, but these menus contain too many flaws.
They seem designed by evil minds. W 10 64 , pc Dell XPS 8000 - core i7 2,8 GHz--ram 6 MB--GEFORCE GTX 1050TI 4GB - SSD 256 + 2x630--area Pal
