Blu Ray Pop-UpMenu With Chapter Playlists

[iblamegod]

hey all! i’ve got what i assume is sort of an advanced issue and i’ve spent two days researching a solution to no avail:

i’m authoring a concert bluray with a menu containing a ‘play all’ button that links to my timeline as well as chapter selection buttons that return to the menu after the selected chapter finishes. (i accomplished this part using individual chapter playlists for each track wherein i’ve set the end action to that track’s corresponding button in the menu.)

the problem i’m having is that there’s also a pop-up menu which functions as it should when i link to the timeline with the ‘play all’ button but it doesn’t work when i jump to a chapter using the playlists.

is there a better way to achieve the desired result (chapter selection/return to menu) that will support the pop-up menu or am i simply SOL? i’d like to avoid having to reduce the bitrate of my video to accommodate two separate timelines as my content almost completely fills the bluray as it is and it would look like hot garbage if i had to reduce it enough to fit it on there twice.

thank you in advance for your time and attention.

I see no option to add a popup to a playlist or a chapter playlist.

Sorry but I suspect you are just SOL to borrow the phrase.

It smells like a bug in Encore though, as popup menus should be associated with their playlist and should be available no matter how you enter that playlist - unless Encore turns each chapter playlist into a sort of dummy playlist on it's own of course.

But like Stan, I see no way to do this in Encore - sorry
