Hi,
First of all my apologies as I've asked this question in the authoring forum also and only just realised it may come under this forum instead.
I'm authoring a dvd using TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6 and noticed that there is a facility to use an mpeg for the root menu. I created a WMA file using windows movies maker which consists of 8 frames and transitions repeated while an audio file plays in the background. I then pushed this through AIMONE Video converter to convert to an mpeg. The mpeg is approximately 40mb.
My main problems are:
1. WMP10 only shows the 1st frame of the background mpeg in the root menu with no audio (PowerDVD works fine). If I attempt to play any scenes from the DVD, WMP hangs indefintely.I have tried burning the same DVD without the motion menu and it plays back fine in WMP.
Is there something I need to download for WMP?
2. My standalone player plays the menu perfectly with the motion menu upto a point where the mpeg loops back to the beginning before completion.
The boxes are ticked under Menu Display Settings > Motion Menu >
Use Motion Menu
Additional Pictures for background, etc.
Use audio of the backround video as the menu BGM.
Length of motion menu....Originally set for 10 secs which I thought was causing the the loop problem. Subsequently I changed the setting from 10 secs to match the length of the mpeg. Which inturn pushes the size up by 2.5 gb. ??Very confused as the whole file is 40mb?? If having the original setting of 10 secs only took a snapshot of the file to play then why when I adjust the time setting to match the full length does it increase overall file size by 2.5gb??
Any ideas on how to fix these problems are greatly appreciated.
If somebody could help me out or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
GC2
