Chapter menus are acting strange on this one....

Hi

When playing the chapter menus with a software player like Powerdvd it acts as it should.

BUT:

When I play it in my standalone, the chapter selection menu acts like this. If I choose the chapter selection menu containing access to chapters: 13-14-15-16
then I can't jump from the hightlighted bottons 15 and 16 and down to the chapter toolbar in the botton of the screen. It simply does not highlight any bottons in the toolbar???? Its like its invisible.

Same strange behaviour if I step to the right in the toolbar in the bottum of the screen. You know from 1-4 to 5-8 to 9-12 etc. etc. then it jumps
past some of the selections.

Eventually burn this archive to a RW and see for yourself. The botton directional commands are ok it seems. So something else must be wrong

Files are here:

****Removed*****

Please tell me what you think

Thanx in advance

The problem is viewing in the letterbox mode. You won't have this problem when viewing in widescreen mode. Some of the buttons at the bottom are out of order in scene 1-4. And in scene 13-16 the button positions are way at the bottom; that's why you don't see any highlights.

I couldn't see anything wrong when viewing in DVDRMP, but it is apparent in PgcEdit when choosing the letterbox mode (group 2). Apparently, this is a bug in DVDRMP that it only shows the wide screen menu in the Preview window. It doesn't show the correct button number and respective positions when switching to Letterbox group in the Buttons pane. Maybe this is not implemented when switching to different viewing mode.

There's also another thing wrong with the main and chapter menus. The Wide tab in the Buttons pane is showing "Wide, Pan/Scan". There is no Pan/Scan. So to fix this, you would export the buttons and change the groupID from 5 to 1 so only "Wide" is shown.

I took the liberty of fixing the menu scenes 1-4 (correct button order for letterbox mode) and 13-16 (button positions at the bottom), and all the menus with the groupID adjustments. Simply unzip the file and import each button file to the correct menu (select "Import buttons" in Preview window for each program). The file is self-descriptive.
