Multiple Menus with GPRM based button jumps

A recent comment in the Apple discussions prompted this new tutorial - how to combine multiple menus and GPRM based button jumps. The issue is that the viewer needs to go back to the correct menu when there are several that access the same track, and better still, land on the right button… generally the last one they were on!

So here it is, visit the tutorial page, and download the project files to take apart at your leisure.

Making an Easter Egg

There’s a lot of fun to be had making some hidden content on your disc. There are numerous ways to go about it, but probably the most popular is to make use of a series of buttons on a menu. This new article provides a bit of a twist to that theme by making the buttons over video instead of in a menu, and only making them available for a short period of time.

Have a look at the article here, and as usual you can download the project files to see how it was done and adapt it for your own purposes. Have fun!

GPRM Counters

Every now and then a particular feature is explored to see what you can achieve with it. Today the feature was using a GPRM as a counter. In effect, the GPRM can be used as a container, or as a clock. If you set them to be counters they count upwards in one second intervals - which is handy if you want to have something happen within a particular time frame (such as an answer to a quiz question). This article looks at that in more detail, and gives you a link to the project files necessary to explore this for yourself.
