1. Re: "Return to last menu" malfunction.
Joe Bowden Aug 15, 2007 10:33 AM (in response to lchapman66)Did a menu come up before the timeline plays? Return to Last Menu only works if you visited a menu in the same session. Otherwise, it stops the player. -
2. Re: "Return to last menu" malfunction.
lchapman66 Aug 15, 2007 11:47 AM (in response to lchapman66)The flow is as follows:<br /><br /> <short timeline (FBI warning)><br /> <main menu><br /> <chapter menu><br /> <click on and play chapter> (playlist with one chapter from main timeline)<br /> <Press Menu on remote while chapter is playing><br /><br />Real DVD player hangs or Encore preview gets the "abnormal condition".<br />I changed the action to "not set", then in the same sequence Encore<br />completely terminates with no warning. -
3. Re: "Return to last menu" malfunction.
lchapman66 Aug 15, 2007 12:59 PM (in response to lchapman66)Ah, the joys of a knowledgebase! I fixed the issue.
I found the Adobe article about troubleshooting corrupt projects. In that it mentions not having more than 20 playlists. As it turns out I had done something the hard way and had 24 playlists. I had a single main timeline divided into 24 chapters. My customer wanted each chapter to play by itself then return to the menu. Initially I did that by creating 24 playlists with a single chapter in each. Functionally it worked, but a defect (I assume) in Encore doesn't like that many playlists. With a little investigation (not sure why I didn't see this before) I found you can set end actions on chapter markers. I removed all the playlists, added "return to previous menu" as the end action for the chapter markers and - voila - all is well.
