DVD Menu Editing

This unit is equipped with a number of DVD menu layouts that are selected with the Function Menu’s EDIT section = [DVD Menu] command, and associated with a recorded image for convenient production of DVD-Video discs.

The constructed menu will be the same TV system (NTSC or PAL) as that currently selected. Opening clip and idle clip can be set only for HDD projects. A total of 1GB (about 10 minutes at highest rate) can be set. However, even if the same clip is selected, the total will be computed as separate clips.

The DVD menu data set here is reflected in [Make Disc], [Make Image] and [Finalize] command.

Also, by using the save to default menu and read commands, the menu data for the currently selected project can be saved to the default DVD menu, or read from the default DVD menu.

The default DVD menu is always used for new projects. A standard menu can be registered as the default DVD menu for efficient production of DVD discs without having to edit menus each time.

The preview and disc emulation functions can be used to confirm the contents before burning a DVD disc. Also, if the playback mode is field playback, output will be for one field only, and menu characters may not appear correctly.

DVD Menu Type Selection

Use the Function Menu’s EDIT section = [DVD Menu] = [Menu Type/Font] = [Menu Type] command to select whether to make the DVD menu a title menu, chapter menu, to add no menu or a title & chapter menu.

Regarding the title and chapter menus: when a title is selected on the title menu, that title‘s chapter menu will be displayed. In this case, depending on the design, a button may be added to the chapter menu for direct access to the title menu. However, if only one chapter exists within the title, no chapter menu will be created.
