HDMV authoring
This document uses some terminology that is commonplace in Blu-ray Disc parlance but may seem
peculiar or confusing if you are new to Blu-ray Disc authoring. This document also uses some terminology
that is specific to DoStudio Authoring:
n Subpath segments: A list of HDMV menu subsegments.
n HDMV menu subsegments: HDMV menu-based segment lists that can be applied to any playlist.
n Movie object: A collection of HDMV commands that controls the navigation of your disc.
Using HDMV Menus
DoStudio Authoring EX Edition can reference HDMV menus (.pes files) in the same way that DoStudio
Authoring can reference subtitle and audio files. Each HDMV menu reference can be associated with a
language if you choose. This allows you to create one HDMV menu per language.
HDMV menus are grouped by HDMV menu segments. To create an HDMV menu segment, right-click the
Subpath Segments node in the Playlist tree and click Add HDMV Menu SubSegment. Within the HDMV
menu segment, you can create one or more HDMV menus. To create an HDMV menu, right-click the
HDMV Menu Set node and click Add HDMV Menu.
