I ran the test again, this time using the X0 Audio for both versions of the crawl and the clip from the main film. This time, something went wrong with my buttons that allow you to select which branch to choose from (they still work, but they appear and disappear) I could fix it, but it’s all just temporary.

In any case, both the audio and the video transitions are now as smooth as silk. (Note: this version of the 81 crawl is missing one frame which I looped to keep it in sync). And again, I know the video and audio quality are not all they should be, this is just a test of the Seamless Branching system…

I’d love to have some professional looking menus. If anyone here wants to come up with some nice buttons / menu graphics / motion menus, etc., that would be fantastic. Buttons should come in three states - Active, Selected and Normal and should be PNGs. Ideally we’ll need a main menu, with the branching options - just 77 & 81 - and links to the other menus, which would include: chapter menus, Audio / Subtitle Selection Menus. I doubt there will be any room on the disc for any bonus features, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a menu for some extras just in case we end up going the DL route, or create a 2nd DVD5/9 disc of Bonus Features… Oh, and of course popup menus!

If that sounds like a lot of work, well just imagine how long it will take me to wire it all up…
