Re: Eliminating Scenes Screen at Beginning of Movie

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

scenes/chapters are terms used when creating DVDs, not the movies that MM2.1
in XP makes. As Movie Maker doesn't make DVDs, you might be asking about
other software.

Maybe I need to ask a different question. How does one use
scenes/chapters? Where do you select them? How do you set them up? etc.

Thanks,

bj

Thank you for your response.

I had checked those options but they don't really do what I want.

I just want a plain opening where I can hold the start of the show until
everyone is seated, quiet, and ready to see the show ...and then press
"PLAY".

With the options available #1 shows several of my slides as it randomly
runs on ...#2 starts the video right away, when I would like to hold it
until I'm ready....and #3 also starts the show before I'm ready.

#1 would be fine if I could limit the number of scenes or not have any at
all.

Thanks again,

Anyone else got any other ideas,

Thanks,

bj

In Windows DVD Maker there is an "Options..." link that gives 3 playback
setting options: (1) start w/ DVD menu, (2) play video & end w/ DVD
menu, (3)
Play video in continuous loop. The link is on the first screen you
encounter
- to add pictures/videos to DVD. It's in the bottom-right corner, above
Next/Cancel buttons.

If you've already passed this part and are in the menu editing area,
there
should be a blue back-arrow in the top-left part of the screen. This
arrow
should take you back to the Add screen, where you'll find the options
link.

Best of Luck

I have been creating some movies using a series of still
pictures....basically a slide show, but with effects, transitions,
music,
etc. When the movie is published and burned to DVD there is screen at
the
beginning with a 'play' button and a 'scenes' button and the background
is
running through a series of slide/pictures from the show.

I want to eliminate this screen all together or at least just have a
'play'
option showing on the introductory screen without it showing several of
my
slides as it goes through this scene process.

I hope someone understands or has seen what I'm trying to describe and
can
help me eliminate the scenes view? This could be something added as
part of
DVD maker and not Movie Maker but either way I'd appreciate some help
to fix
it.

Thanks,

Brian
