Solitaire Menu

Post by CuChi »

After loading my films in Arabesk and in "Control" I checked "Menu" like most of the time it shows up normal and works like it should except when after burning the disc and I try it on a dvd player and the computer the menu does not show up. It goes directly to the first film like I picked "Trailer only" in the "Control". This has never happened before. Anyone have the solution?

Thank you in advance

The only thing I can think of would be to delete Arabesk and re install it. I suppose it's possible your DVD players are having trouble reading the menu and so it skips over it. Does the menu appear after your first film finishes playing? What about DVD-R vs. DVD+R? Sounds like you've been doing this for awhile on the same componants and suddenly the problem started so the reinstall sounds like the first thing I would do.

Well..............I did delete Arabesk and reinstalled it and I was really hopin' it would work, however the same thing - no menu after burning a dvd - it goes straight to the first film. %$#%&*. I'm open for other suggestions.

Does this happen in both a standalone DVD player and a computer, or only in the computer?

Not that this would fix your problem but what about adding a second short clip (like company logo or other) and inserting it as the first film. Then select "Trailer only" in "Control" under "edit Menu". Then it should play your first film then go to the menu where you should see your second film? If that works great! But won't really solve the issue.

Thanks to all who responded. I got it to work with the help of the Casablanca Expert (Chet) membership well spent!
He told me to check under Control menu and under films - check "individual" instead of "play successively" It worked!! The confusing part is on my other Solitaire I had "play successively" on other projects and the problem mentioned above works fine...............go figure!! On all projects from now on I have to check those menus and the Action menu under Buttons or Stamps (depending on the ver).

Thanks again
