PowerDVD (previous versions) » Audio channel selection - handbrake » Go to message
Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply, so this may be something coming in a further "purchased" version, or something that might be added to PDVD13?

Regards Gareth

PowerDVD (previous versions) » Audio channel selection - handbrake » Go to message
Hi All,

I have been converting some DVD's to file for my apple tv (m4v) format using handbrake. While doing this I have been include a number of audio channels as well as subtitles.

However I have observed that PDVD13 doesn't seem to see anything other than the primary audio and none of the soft subtitles. I can see the subtitles as an option in itunes and VLC. And I can see all the available audio tracks in VLC as well,..

Can anyone confirm if PDVD supports these functions or am I missing something..

Cheers Gareth
PowerDirector (previous versions) » PD8 DVD Creation » Go to message
Hi JL & Tony,

Thanks for the information, I may have been thinking of the wrong template when I said 3 (I wasn't infront of my PC) I do remember 6. Its great to know that PD8 supports up to 14 chapters per page.

Could I ask in regards to a "chapter" could this be a slideshow which returns to the top menu or is it like a movie in that you can select the point you wish to start from?

Sounds like PD8 is well on the way to what I'm hoping for just like you comments on this last point - if I can do the slideshow return to top menu I'll be purchasing asap.

Regards & thanks

Hi All,

I'm a current PD7 owner, however have found it DVD creation features to be sadly lacking.

I was wondering if PD8 offered any new functions, the two areas I have found frustration is the limitation of only 3 menu items per page (before having to move to change to next page) and the inability to play a slide show and return to the top menu.

I have to create a DVD for the daycare, which ideally would be just a basic introductory page and then a number (upto 16) buttons / names of each child leading into a slide show with music.... returning to the top at finish of slide show.

Appreciate any feedback if this may be possible now in PD8 (I have my fingers crossed)...

Thanks Jeff

That's a real pity, I have been given some other suggestions, which I will check out - hopefully this might be considered moving forward....

Hi All,

I have been trying to understand if the following DVD menu could be created - all the templates / examples I have found seem to follow the same pattern. A top page, then chapter page with a max of 4 chapters per page...

We're doing a DVD for the daycare and would just like to go straight to a menu page with all the kids names (16) from there clicking on a name would take you to a video / photos song chapter per child, returning to the top menu when finished.

I thought PD or PP would be able to do it easily, however I can't find a single example of this type of simple menu or if it is even possible...

Appreciate any help.. Gareth

Hi,

I was wondering, is it possible to configure a DVD so once its finished playing some video / audio it will automatically return to the top menu? I have to make a DVD for the day care and we're looking to configure it for each child however after viewing want to return to the top menu...

Hi All,

This is my first posting, I have a copy of powerdirector and have been asked to create a end of year video for the kids daycare. Basic layout would be a menu system (16 kids) where you'd select the child then get a short video and then into a slide show with music (selected song per child), once finished you'd return to the top menu.
I have been looking through the powerdirector help information and have a couple of areas I'm still a little unclean:

1. I have observed that when you select the slideshow option with pictures it will sometime repeat pictures once it has shown everything once. If we take a 3-5sec display per picture we can work out an approx number but would prefer not to see any repeats. Would I need to therefore do a manual matchup of pics to time of song?

2. My earlier DVD's I have created have had chapters but not a return to top menu option. Is it possible to drop down this one level and then back ot the top menu again once finished?

I am not sure if power director or power producer may be the best option.

Appreciate any help / suggestions.

Regards Gareth
