The menu build section has 3 pages:
Start up MuxMan and open the project
If you made your own menu and saved the project open it, otherwise open the "demo2.mxp" file
We're going to add content first, so create a new segment for the clip by clicking "new"
You can change the name or take the suggested name
We're going to start with video. Click the video "Browse" button and navigate
to a video clip.
In this example we are using the extras from Coyote Ugly.
Since there are several clips in this vob we need to set the run time.
and close the multi-file manager.
Now do the same with the audio except there is no need to set the duration, the video will limit that
Now we need to make some changes to the associations between PGCs and segments. Click on the "Spreadsheet" tab.
Ordinarily we would need to create a PGC for our new title, but this project has already had default
navigation added. That made our menu segment into a title, so we need to change what segment is played by
the title PGC. First remove the menu segment by clicking on the intersection of segment_1_scn1 and the title PGC.
Then click "X" to remove the cell.
Click on the intersection of segment_2_scn1 and the title PGC
Then click "PTT" to add the scene as a chapter.
Or you can click on "Add Segment". This segment has only one scene, so the two buttons do the same thing
Now we have to be able to see the menu PGC to assign the menu segment to it. Open the "column" drop
down list and click on "unspecified_root" in VTS01 menu
Click on the intersection of Segment_1_scn1 and the menu PGC
Click "Add Segment" or "PG" to add the menu content to the menu PGC
Now switch back to viewing all referencing PGCs
And you will see this. The last thing we need to do is set the cell still time of our menu so that it
doesn't just flash onto the screen and disappear, but hangs around for the viewer to use.
Click on the "Navigation" tab
Navigate to our root menu. Click + on VTS01, + on menu, + on Unspecified_1, then click on "Unspecified_root".
Then click the "Cells" tab.
Set the cell still time to some value, 255 means forever. In this example we will wait 15 seconds
Our content is now viewable, but on the next page will see that the navigation isn't what we want
