A DVD Architect "return to" question at DVinfo.net

Marcia Janine Galles · February 19th, 2004, 02:57 PM

Is there a way to set up DVDA so that someone watching a selected scene/chapter returns to the sub menu with the scene/chapter choices by hitting "back" or "menu," instead of the initial opening menu, which it's doing now? In other words, my layout is: main menu (with "play video" and "select scenes" buttons) > sub menu (with six scenes/chapters to choose from). If they're watching Chapter #6 and they want to switch to Chapter #4, but they hit menu or back, it presently returns all the way to the main menu (with the "play video" and "select scenes" buttons), not the sub menu with the listed choices. Anybody know how to change that?

You currently have no control as to where any chapter or video will return.

Rats. My wish list grows...

Believe me, your wish list has been heard. This is another of the items that has been bandied about for months. This along with end actions, multiple audio tracks, subtitles, etc...... I know the engineers have heard the requests AND are working on the next version. Only they can say which features will be implimented. Their #1 goal is stability and it SHOWS.

What I would really love is for a good not too expensive program
to have multiple video angles as well as mutliple audio angles.
Why? Because I'd like to make a DVD of project with different
versions of the movie on it for reviewing (raw footage from
camera, letterboxed, color corrected, special effects. etc.).
