Cinema Menu template

[Laurice]

Just created my first blu-ray disc using ConvertXtoHD 2.0.0.33b and 'Cinema w/text' menu template. I watched while the program created the title and chapter menus at the end of the conversion. But, when I played the disc, there were no title or chapter menus. The log shows that it was set to not create a menu for a single title. (I purposely did not select this option - the program did.) When attempting to re-do the conversion and burn, I noticed that the option is already set and greyed out. If it is not going to actually create these menus, why go through the motions and display their creation? Can this be corrected?

Apparently, the issue does not pertain to any 'menu template', as it is invoked at the 'structure' level.
If you select "Movie - Best for single movies, can have bonus submenu" as your structure for your menu - then there is no way to create any menus with only one title!
Can anyone, please, fix the "Cinema - navigation with text" with a version that will allow it to operate under the "Open Style" structure? Ultimately, it SHOULD create menus for a single movie.

Edit -
The menus ARE created, they just don't behave as you would expect. You can look at them, you cannot select any given chapter, the only function that happens is that it begins play from the very beginning of the title. Regardless of which button you select. Thank you, Claire, for your expert help.

Hello,

In the menu editor you can click the remote control icon

you can navigate through the menu pages as the result should play on your living room player. Clicking on the "Play" button should start playing the video and clicking on "Chapters" should bring up the Chapters menu, where you can then select which chapter to play:

In the preview window/ simulator mode this works correctly for me, and when I play the output in PowerDVD I get the exact same behavior.

Can you tell me if you get "good" behavior in the preview/simulator mode of ConvertXtoHD?

Maybe you desire something the application doesn't offer?

If Open Style is working correctly for you but you do not like the background images there, then load the images used for Cinema.

navigate to
C:\ProgramData\VSO\ConvertXtoHD\2\Templates\Movie\Resources
and select: "defaultMenu_background.jpg"

You can change all the button and remove the thumbnail if you want too.
