5/28/2023 0 Comments Manual dvdstylerI've only had time to briefly try it out. From a brief look at the docs it seems to be quite powerful. Quote: No, I'd be interested to have your impressions. Windows 7 Prof 64-bit, PD 9 Ultra 64, PD 13 Ultimate 64 Intel Core i5 Quad Core 3.3GHz, 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333MHz,Īsus Nvidia GT440 1GB, 2 x Western Digital WD10EARS 1TB, 1 x Seagate ST1000DM010 1TB, I don't think it can handle Blu-Ray but I'm not into that at the moment. There must be other equally capable software around but this one fulfils all I need of it so I haven't looked further. I haven't even scratched the surface of my Studio version but I'm not bothered about incuding fancy effects in my menus, even motion and/or music. I started off with Standard and eventually upgraded to Studio. There were three versions, Standard, Studio and Pro with different levels of capability but I think the cheaper versions are no longer available and you may find the Pro version is more than you want to pay, as well as having much greater capabilities than you'll ever use. It's been around a long time and there hasn't been any further development since I started using it. I guess what they're doing is producing a high quality single file of a project, then importing it into another program of their choice for constructing menus. If they did offer complete flexibility and a box of tools to be used in any conceivable way, then PD would no longer appeal to the average consumer, its rating would plummet, reviewers would say "Too hard to figure out."īUT I've noticed a number of long time PD users who are much more expert than me, often say that they don't use PD's menu program at all, since it's the worst part of the program, with too few choices, a clumsy interface, and with funky results. There's less flexibility than in more sophisticated editing programs, because with more flexibility comes more complexity - and that's not Cyberlink's aim with this program. I don't need "fade in" because the opening of the music is usually already the exact way I want to hear it.īut it's like a lot of things with PD - There are simplified, locked in ways that things work in order to make it all fast and easy for the average consumer to whip together their home videos. I always make sure the "fade out" option is checked so the looping transition is smoothed out. And the music's time limit really is annoying too - You said 90 seconds?- Seems like I'm only getting 30 seconds. I'm also rather sure there isn't a way to prevent the music starting over when you move from the first screen to the chapters. My solution has been to just skip having music after the first splash page. But the fancier ones do keep re-triggering the music. With the simpler ones, the music doesn't re-start like that. Do note that this behavior depends on the menu template you use. The worst problem is when you're on a chapter menu, and the music starts over every time you hover over a new chapter's button - ARGH!-awful. I am almost positive there's no way around them. Well, Paul - All these issues you describe about music in a DVD menu are exactly the same for me. Quote: Having at last mastered (almost) DVD menus, I now have issues with the sound.
