Hi Flavio,

For your second question,I have been trying to do this forever and here is how I was finally able to do it.

1-I created my menu graphic. I could not find a way to do this using a template that was already there so I had to create one. So what I did is that in Photoshop (on any other image editing program, you can download Photofiltre which is good and simple if you do not have one) I made the picture that I want around my little video in the menu and I made sure that the area where the video would be was transparent.

2-Then I went in Power Director inserted my menu video and my image on top (on the PIP track I think..)

3-Then I produced a file of that little montage. (If I remember correctly, If I used the avi format I had problems later on but other formats are fine)

4-Then I went in my main project to Create Disc and created a new template. When you are in ''modify'' there is a button on top that lets you change the background image/video. So I clicked on that and selected the menu video I just created before and Voila! Then all you have left to do is select you font for the text and all that.


I don't know if there is a simpler way but that is the only one I found. Could not change the default video for the templates. If someone knows how to do that it would be great to know.

Hope this helps!

This is a clever solution , and knowing how the program works, the procedure seems right to me... i'll try just when i have some time to spend on!! I'm very busy at work now.

So... THANK YOU VERY MUCH... i'll write here the results of this experiment... :

Ciao
