Linking content to menu buttons
DVDit Pro HD provides many ways to create menu button links. Usually you’ll want to
create all the button links on all the menus in the project, then tweak individual link
attributes where needed. For links to other menus, you can force a specific button on the
linked menu to be selected.
For links to titles, you can force a specific audio track to play or force a subtitle track to be
displayed, overriding the viewer’s own language preferences. To force-select audio and
subtitle tracks in a playlist, see
“Creating and editing playlists” on page 128 .
This section includes:
