Can CXD make slideshows from a series of JPG files? Like display each for 5 seconds one after the other? I didn't see any way it could, but maybe I'm missing something.


Thanks!

I think it would be a whole lot easier if CXD didn't automatically name/rename projects AND the main page title at the top. I can see it doing the title page name by taking the first title set you put in. But, CXD automatically RENAMES the title page My DVD or whatever it calls it whenever you save ...

Unfortunately, the automatic naming process for projects is a bit wonky, I've discovered over the years. As far as I know, there's really no way around a situation like the one you mentioned. Is the first title set in the project called My Holiday, BTW? If it is, that may be why it's defaulting to a...

He's probably mentioning using the Merge function in CXD. Add a video container file to a job. On the right side, there's a sliding menu of options on the bottom like Subtitle and Chapter. At the very end, which you may have to scroll to, there's a film strip icon representing Merge. You merge title...

I don't understand why you don't put all 3 weddings on the main page and name each one individually. That way, when you access each one, you get new submenus that are named with the name of the title on the main page.

Thanks a lot!

Hee, I just noticed the typo I made in the Subject line. :)

Actually, I do disable this option when setting up a new install of CXD. Because I have noticed it tended to cause more problems than convenience. I was curious as to what actually is imported. Particularly, if chapter points from containers that support them are imported in metadata or not. If they...

What exactly does the Import metadata option do? What metadata is imported from files if they contain them? Does metadata include chapter points for containers that have them?


Thanks!

Does anyone out there still have a PS3? If so, have you noticed the same behavior I have with CXD 7 discs? On scanning forward or backwards, the PS3 randomly "pauses." It stops on a still image. If I press Enter, Play resumes at that point. I can then resume scanning the disc, until it ran...

Exactly what sort of hardware do you need for CXD's hardware acceleration option? For instance, do you need a dedicated graphics card like an nVIDIA? I ask because I enabled the option, but I doubt it does me any good. I used to have an nVIDIA graphics card in my last PC, but this current one uses U...

I never tried editing anything from the default template before, so I don't know if it's "new" or not. This is the first time I've ever tried to change the menu behavior beyond what I've been using for years. And this was after I did the full uninstall and reinstall with the clearing optio...

I discovered what was preventing me from doing it, but it may be a bug, or, at least, undesired behavior. I always change the default Menu Options setting for Don't create title menu for single title. I always uncheck this option because even if I only have 1 title, I want the main menu to always lo...

Yes, I'm familiar with that; I've done it before. I'll reply back with my results later.

I tried doing what you said, but it didn't work. When I tried to select the Duration options, like Use a still image, they never become selectable. They're always greyed out. This may be because you're using an older version. The newest version, these options don't appear to be selectable, which app...

I'm not entirely sure you can do it with a hard return, but a workaround might be to add trailing spaces between what you want to be the first line and the second. This will require a little trial and error to get the margins right, though.

Thanks! Those settings look like precisely what I needed. I failed to see the Still Image check box.

I'm sorry, I used the wrong terminology. By "animated menu," I wanted to remove the audio and video that plays "underneath" the menu buttons on sub menus. I thought that was what meant by animated menu. I see animated menu just means the animation that plays when you select a but...

I've often thought of toying around with the template editor. Basically, all I'd like to do is take the default menu and settings CXD provides for projects and change the menu option so there aren't animated menus. Can the template editor do that?

Ah, yes, another release bug where the button overlays don't work. When the initial gold release of 7 came out, the menu buttons didn't work either. Well, that option to disable the menu animations is a bit cumbersome. I'd have to remember to disable it on EVERY project I create. I'd much prefer a w...
