Hi,

Is there a way to tell PowerDirector how long the DVD-menu shall be?

I have created a menu with background video and music (both 2min) but after about 15sek it always restarts.

Please help!

Thank you very much!

If you are talking the "root" menu duration, it can be controlled as shown in the attached pic. If submenu duration, "Chapter" that's a little more complicated but can be done.

If a 2 min intro why not consider a "First play video" which plays prior to menu display?

Hello, Imod!

JL_JL's suggestion is quite a good one! I sometimes make a few of my own to drop in as a first-play. It can be anything at all, perhaps even a piece-to-camera by yourself, explaining what the viewer is about to see, or it could be just your own little animated intro, could be anything, really, it's limited only by your imagination!

Cheers!

Neil.

Hey,
Thank you very much!!
The length of the root menu is limited to 99sek but that is ok for me.
