Jump to Menu:)

Post by lukee »

HI!I made a pop up menu what I would like to use between chapters so it shows when I press the button to change chapter, but when I compile the jar It says "Can not jump to the menu"!Anyone has any idea what's wrong?

Can you make a intro menu and for it to automatically jump to the next menu.
Example

Intro menu with Video
Main menu with text links to play movie/chapters etc (would be a continuation of the intro menu like intro menu is chapter 1 and Main menu is chapter 2)

You can use "Inactivity timeout" and "Inactivity action" to automatically jump to another menu.

Thanks

Do you need to specify the time for the inactivity timeout, so intro movie only lasts 5.5 seconds etc.

I was guessing that it would jump automatically when the info movie ended.

How I have created my menus is in devinci resolve, so all the video background, animation of the text for chapters etc and the audio is made in devinci resolve and the video split up to individual intro and menus and converted to X264 and ac3 files.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood you. If you need a menu with intro - you can take a look at the 4th project from https://blu-disc.net/download/examples/Simple.zip
And we do not recommend using DaVinci https://blu-disc.net/features#video_codec - you need to re-encode its output using x264.

I seen in the one tutorial you create a intro movie and than make a intro menu with the intro movie as background.

Is it possible to asign a chapter to the intro movie so something like.

Intro movie
Chapter 1 asign to menu 1
Chapter 2 asign to menu 2
Chapter 3 asign to menu 3 etc etc

So menu 1 would would jump to menu 2 when chapter 1 has ended and menu 2 would repeat x times, menu 3 could be for scene selection and repeated x times.

No.
You can use movies + popup menus instead of main menu. But this is not easy. Example: https://blu-disc.net/download/examples/EndersGame.7z
