Start menus go
No it's not. Still protection error appears and if I try to force menu, "start movie" and "chapter selection" don't properly work.
I use the US version and i , all of a sudden, get no start menu on 4 of my last 5 back up copies. I have same "keep menu" checked on first page and no other bypass or start on insert in any of the 3 or so Win7 or PDVD10 ultra places. I have used the Clone/AnyDVD combo for many years. The one which kept the start menu (all plain DVDs) no BD or HD dvd, was one i opted for the "clone " from the 3 boxes. I used the top, copy title for the others.
It was probably connected to the new options for eliminating the annoying clips, but i did not think this would include the start menu as well since i had the keep internal menu box checked. I concluded that the clips would have been the little intro and outro things in wb, Alpha or a&e/pbs 10 to 30second useless things.
It did just that on the 'clone' option which was a multi episode tv show dvd.
worked just as expected. but on the 4other titles the movie just starts up on both my pc and stand alone player.
One of the dvds was a WB 'Night at the Movie" "Undercurrent" with the short, cartoon, news reel and movie. and they got attached to the end in a string. no other way to access them via menu but wait until the end, not the beginning even.
through pdvd , of course, could get to them via the title;chapt but only after the movie had begun to roll.
the stand alone dvd/bd player always gets the dvd rolling , normally to the start menu or advetrs. in this case, the preview ads were gone, which was great but so was the start menu, which was very small in that, "The Big Bounce" from 1969 first. the 2nd one also jumps to the movie as well, from 2004 i think. didnt really spoil anything for me, only it was the first big change in operation from my normal routine for the past 400 back ups.
just my 2¢ which turned out to be a bit more
