Where are the menu templates?
[Post New]
I thought someone from Cyberlink uploaded some "sample" menu templates and instructions on how to install them but I can't seem to find them now. Any ideas where they are?

No, someone from CyberLink or someone in the CyberLink forum. I think I must have been delusional; in the 9th hour of editing a menu and searching in the forum for help.

Actually, I was looking for a down and dirty, very simple menu without all the whistles and bells, particularly no motion video thumbnails, just text links. I'm trying to get a menu down to a smaller size to fit it and some videos on one single sided DVD. The DVD I'm trying to make is running just over the 4700MB limit even though I have Smart Fit turned on.

This one posted by JL.........not me......seems to meet your needs;

You might try this. I created a simple menu that has a main page of just the "Play All" and "Chapters" with a black backgound. The chapters page has 6 chapters (max allowed per page) and chapters highlight with a simple red checkmark. Nothing fancy. It is VERY important that when you define chapters in your video, your use a black chapter picture for every chapter. Do that by putting a black color board in your project and all chapters use this color slice as the picture. Also make sure that the "enable video thumbnail" is turned off. If you don't use a black color board for each chapter you will see that chapter thumbnail in the menu pages and my understanding is you dont want that. Keep in mind the black color board in the time line can be really small, like 10 hundreds of a second so you really don't know its there during playback. Just put one at the end of your project that all chapters use.

KISS (keep is simple sam) menu

Amazing! One would think that if "enable video thumbnails" is turned off (unchecked), it would not play the video thumbnails in the menu.

How do I time out the menu when I click "Play"? the menu shows up in the background after the video starts for a few seconds.
