I am trying to author a DVD which has simple crossfade transitions between the menus. This is how I am going about it in Reel DVD 3.
1. Encode the main film.
2. Encode the Transitions between menus, as video.
3. Import the stills and menu overlays, which I prepared in Photoshop and saved as tiffs, into Reel.
4. Import the encoded film and the encoded transitions into Reel.
5. first play goes to the first still menu, which has 2 buttons. Button two
links to the chapter menu, via the "play to cahpter" encoded video.
6. Once I have authored the DVD and play it on a set-top player, I notice
that when i am on the play screen and i select the chapters button the
transition between the play screen and the chapters screen seems to jump up
1 or 2 pixels. So my problem is that changing from a still menu to a video transition then back to another still menu, the transition jumps up 1 or 2 pixels, then back down into the next still menu. I have tried using video as a background, instead of tiffs, but still have the problem.
Any suggestions ????

Kind regards.
Kevin
