I'm trying to great menus for a project for a friend as a birthday present.
Is it possible to keep the main menu video that's on the background from not starting over after you choose a menu to go to.
Lets say I'm in main menu and I want to go "Episode List" atm after i go to sub menu the video start all over again... 
Hopefully anyone seeing this gets the idea and if possible could help me out.
I'm kinda new to DVD Architect so I'm not entirely sure if it can be done or maybe there's a better option for this.
 
a background video needs to be specified for each menu. So, a submenu would have a completely different background. If it is starting over, then you added it to both menus.
 
Yes I did add the same video for both menus. But is it possible to make the video from main menu to continue even after going to submenu? If not I guess I'll make a still image and add some audio for submenus..

No, that isn't possible. You can create a start point in the video, but it is a specific point, not a continuation of the previous menu.

Well that seems fine. I had a feeling that what I wanted to do was impossible, at least now I know. How can I make a starting point and continue from that point in my submenus?
 
You need to set a loop point. In your main menu action that takes you to that submenu, you can specify if it goes to the beginning of the submenu or the loop point

I'll try that and post back.
 
Alright so far so good. Next question if someone can answer.

1) How to make a menu for Audio that switches the audio track on all videos. I have 8 videos that use dual audio and would like to change between them from a menu like you normally would in a DVD/Blu-Ray.

2) Same as above but for subtitles.

Any detailed how to would be very helpful

EDIT: Got everything working, thanks for anyone that helped.
 
Anyone that knows more about the program could share some info!
Is there a limit on how many files you can open in DVD Architect? Program doesn't respond after I open more then 18 files, so until 18 I fine after that the opening process will stay at 100% and will not complete. Is my hardware not capable or is there some other factor in play? I've confirmed that all my files are working and I can open them all one by one. But at the moment there seems to be a limit of 18 on any project I make.

Hardware Specs: 8Gb Ram, i5-3570k 3.4GHz OC'd to 4.5GHz, AMD Radeon HD 7900 series.

I have not encountered that limitation. The Bounty Hunter project I worked on had more than 18 titles on the bonus disc.

May I ask what your system specs were? I have a feeling that I need more Ram, but I could be wrong.
 
At that time it was a desktop with an AMD 6-core processor and 8GB of RAM. That shouldn't matter much though. It's not like you are rendering 18 videos at one time. They are just being indexed in the project.
