Newbe Questions

[Jochim]

I run BDAuthor Trial, and have tried to create a first BD on the Basis of an existing BD created with Avid-DVD. I still Need some time to understand the functions within BDAthor.
I have two beginners questions which can definitely be answered by any of you experienced users.
1) Where do I find a complete Command-List, as the one in the help file covers Version 1.0 but does not contain all current commands?
2) How can I set-up an menu's Video/Audio file which run in a Loop, e.g. Video/Audio is 30s Long, and I want to jump to the beginning when the file played to ist end?

Hi Joachim,

1. IG Editor help + BD Author help should contain full command list. Some commans are restricted for using in MovieObjects, some restricted in IES menu buttons.
2. You can see several useful examples on our page: http://www.dvd-logic.com/easybd/examples.html. Just use "Import BD" function to open in BD Author.

Best regards,
Valery Koval.

Thank you Valery for your answer. I will follow your advise regarding published example Projects and learn from them.

I have another simple question: Do I need to explicitly control assets distribution on individual layers of a large project which needs a dual-layer BD ?

No, BluStreak Tracer CMF could set a layerbreak on M2TS-files that will cross the layerbreak-position.

No, it looks like there is only BluStreak Tracer CMF and only for Mac OS...

Jochim,
there are several ways to be able to run blustreak tracer CMF:

1. visualsation of mac os on a windows-machine ( please use google serch for it)
2. buy a mac mini to run the software
3. built up a hacintosh
4. look for someone else who has tracer CMF on a mac

if you are based in germany or nearby, I could probably do this for you.
