Roger,

Did you also update to the new Bogart OS v2.4c ? It's my understanding that you must update that as well. And this new OS update also adds a couple new PowerKey functions that will speed up the work-flow a little for lots of folks. I will be covering these at the end of the Members Only Webinar at 10AM Pacific . Since you are a member you can register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/897512074

Regards,
Chet

Sorry for my lack of clarity Roger -- you will find the DVD Preview button under the 'All' button in the 'Info/Edit/Play' section of Arabesk 4. Once you have created the DVD Menu, you can view a virtual preview of the menu and actually launch the films by clicking the playback triangle '>' beneath create.

Chet

Thanks for the help Chet
Under the title "Info/Edit/Play". It only shows Info/Edit. The word play is missing.

The buttons under that title are.

Films,Chapters,Menus
All
Then a blank area, no button.

Under settings I have 4.6 and my OS is 2.4C. The OS was a update

You're welcome Roger -- but I should have said you accessed this virtual playback/preview button inside the ALL button, not under it. By clicking on it, you should then see this new preview button (new to Bogart OS, been there a long time for Smart Edit/Arabesk).

Chet

Hi,

the virtual DVD preview only works with the single monitor (DVI/Video) mode.
I'm not sure it works with a single VGA monitor...

So, to use it, go to system settings, screen, and choose the single monitor mode.
Then, go back to Arabesk and the play button will now appear...

Thanks for catching that nuance Vincent! I did go back and read the Release Notes which indicates this option is not available on a VGA Monitor.

Regards,
Chet
