1. Re: Best way to play Audio only on a DVD with video?
Soshman Sep 13, 2013 11:52 AM (in response to Soshman)If there is not a way to do it without adding black video
What would be a good way to keep the black video at the lowest use of space for the .m2v to put into Encore?
Thanks!

Stan Jones Sep 13, 2013 12:58 PM (in response to Soshman)Below is what I wrong before I tested the obvious. Just "import as timeline" the audio only (make sure there is no m2v with the same name); Encore happily builds a disk with black. Mediinfo shows the video stream, but it appears to be at a very low datarate. So, give it a try. I did not burn a disk; just build to a folder and used a software player.
Other options: Encore slideshows have odd problems, I'd play with making a single slide (just black, right?) slideshow, maybe set to manual advance with no advance - or a very long duration to match the audio length.
If an m2v works better for whatever reason, Encore has a minimum bitrate, I think around 2.x or 1.x. So I would try exporting from Premiere,10 seconds of black video using CBR 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and see if it matters.

Soshman Sep 13, 2013 4:29 PM (in response to Soshman)Stan i have one more question please.
If someone falls asleep during the video...i dont want it to go back to the menu with music
Is there somewhere i can get it to go at the end... so the screen stays black and no audio?
Thanks!

Stan Jones Sep 13, 2013 5:56 PM (in response to Soshman)Just create an all black menu with no motion/audio, no buttons, no link anywhere. Set the end action of that audio only timeline to that menu.
The remote control can always get them back to the menu.

Might be best to include a "continue" button. Someone wakes up and sees a black screen, they'll likely be confused.

Soshman Oct 16, 2013 3:51 PM (in response to JSS1138)Hey Jim!
I like the "continue" idea and will use it.
just enough to see it but not too bright to wake them up
Thank!
