instantly returned to the main menu of the
DVD and the operating panel remains in the
foreground.
With the “Chapter” button you enter a selection
list in which you can directly access each
chapter so long as it has already been created
(see section 3.1, item (1) Edit chapter).
The button “Film” has a function comparable
to the button “Chapter”. With its help you can
move lm-by-lm through the menu.
With the two buttons in the bottom line you can
move chapter-by-chapter through the menu.
With the Stop, Play and Pause buttons in the
upper line you can abort playback, play the
desired lm or stop temporarily.
Note: At rst you see the trailer, assuming that
you have set the function “Trailer only” under
Control”. Then the menu is displayed. During
this time you may click the right trackball key
at any time to display the operating panel
without interrupting the running lm. The panel
disappears again when you press Play to start
another lm from the menu.
3.2 Info / Play: DVD
(6) Clicking on the button “DVD” causes the DVD
in the drive to be played. The DVD must be a
DVD that has been written with “DVD-Arabesk”.
If the DVD has been created under an earlier
version of “DVD-Arabesk”, then you will see
the lms represented not with icons, but with
the terms “Film 1”, “Film 2”, etc., which can be
selected.
3.3 Miscellaneous
In this section describes the three functions
contained in the third block named
Miscellaneous”.
This block provides additional options for using
Arabesk.
3.3 Miscellaneous: Read DVD
(7) With “DVD-Arabesk 2” you can make copies
of DVDs that you have written with “DVD-
Arabesk 2” or “DVD-Arabesk”.
To make a DVD copy, you Read the source DVD
to the hard disk and then write a DVD-R or RW.
The result is a 100% copy without loss.
This function is meant to let you copy your
own nished DVDs after you have deleted the
project from the hard disk and you still require
additional copies.
Copying automatically includes all menus,
chapter information, etc. You don’t have to make
these settings again.
Note: If you wish to make a 1:1 copy of your
DVD, you should not make any further changes
before writing (e.g. insert projects, change
background menu), because the DVD menu will
not be correctly displayed once written.
An additional possibility is to modify an already
existing DVD: Imagine that you have an old DVD
containing video material of a vacation spot you
have visited. Imagine further that you spent last
summer at the same spot and you would now
like to archive your new lm material together
with the older material.
With “DVD-Arabesk 2” you can read in
the original DVD, insert additional projects
(assuming enough space on the DVD) and write
a new DVD.
In doing so you should take account of the
following:
When you read in a DVD that has been created
with “DVD-Arabesk 2” then in the window
Edit Menu” you will see your original menu.
Moving backgrounds are an exception. These
cannot be restored but can only be represented
as gray xed images. If your original DVD has
been created with a previous version of “DVD-
Arabesk”, then it is not possible to restore the
original menu.
