Kudos for the effort to make new templates but I'll say it again, we don't need more templates, we need a template/menu editor so that we can make our own designs. If VSO's coders are too strapped for time, post the specs and I'm sure some industrious soul will put together one. The same happened with batch processing. VSO, for reasons that are totally bewildering to me, fails to see the need for batch capabilities within CXD and so we now have multiple wonderful third-party batch producing programs.

Hey cmsoft,

If VSO offered you all you need to create a Menu Creator, generate your own templates, you would be willing to do a 3rd party (cmsoft) software ?

If you say YES, I will ask VSO if they would be willing to do that !

Gripweed -contact me by email (claire(at)vso-software.fr) I will send you the latest version of the batcher

not a lot of functions but does a minimum

If someones want this as a basis and continue it they can cannot VSO for "RAW" info

for anyone looking to develop tools along side with VSO please contact fabrice_meuwissen(at)hotmail.com by msn / yahoo / skype

You can discuss this live with him. VSO is not opposed to this idea at all.

hi

I know you want menu editors but for now we don't have it, everytime we add a new template it requires new functions, and these functions will be used ( LATER ) for the menu editor,
for now, we just added a menu CX2 which has the same look and feel than the old version 2 menu. but it required to develop a lot of new functions like dynamic position and alignment of items , something you will appreciate in any advanced menu editor.
so .. once again, we got the message about the menu editor, but at this time, the things are progressing even if you don't see them directly.

THE TEMPLATE "CHAMPETRE" DON'T WORK(VERSION 32). EVERYTHING IS BLACK.

Hi,

Everything is black in the preview window, or on your DVD (Output) ?

Yes, you see nothing on the preview, and I have opened a bug report for that.

I tested the output with PowerDVD and I see the menu.

Would it be possible to have a template like what windows movie maker has, where it playsclips of the movie in the background of the menu. Black mirror with video comes close, but i'd love to see clips of the movie in the background and the menu items in simple text on top of it.

the glossy templates have the video playing in the background as well.

For the title menu however, you need to specify what video should play though. The root menu of each files plays the file for which that root menu is for . . .
