Adding a First Play Video
Use this option to add a video (or an existing CyberLink PowerDirector project) as
a first play video to your created disc. The first play video plays automatically when
the disc is inserted into a disc player, before the disc menu loads. No navigation
buttons are available during the first play, and viewers cannot fast forward past
this segment. In a professional production, this is usually a copyright notice or
warning. However, you may prefer to use a personal introduction or other video
clip instead.
To set a clip as first play, do this:
• click and select the video file that you want.
• click to remove the video file set as first play.
• click to preview the first play video.
Setting Playback Mode
Click the button to set how the disc plays back in a disc player. Select from one
of the available playback modes in the list.
Note: select the Auto menu time out option in the Playback Mode Settings window if
you want your disc content to begin playing automatically after displaying the disc
menu for the specified duration.
Specify Buttons Per Page
When creating a disc with multiple titles or chapters, you can select the number of
thumbnails you want to display on the menu or chapter page. Use the Buttons
per page drop-down to select the number you want to display.
Note: once you select the number of thumbnails you want to display, you can move
the thumbnails (and any menu text) anywhere you want on your menu.
Select Add thumbnail index to add numbering of your thumbnails to your menu
page.
