DVD Menu Work

Nothing like this has ever been shown off on here, so thought id be the first.

I was gonna make a basic DVD of FFAC for a mate because hes hasnt seen it and has not got a PC, then i thought id go all out and make it look good and make features for it aswell.

Just wanted to see what people thought of my DVD menu. The DVD is not finshed yet though, as you will be able to tell when watching it. Its a video menu so thats why the file size is 15mb.

Thanks for checking it out.

AC DVD Menu <----AVI VERSION
AC DVD Menu <----WMV VERSION

Sorry, my Win. Media Player isn't updated enough and needs a Codec thingy. Sadly, I have a restricted user profile on my computer and can't install the update. :cry:

However, I did get to hear the sound and I liked it. Sorry I couldn't watch the whole thing. :(

thats unbelieavebly great i mean crap thats fickin awsome i wish i could do that

Thanks ffxfreak, glad you like it.

Theres more features to be added, plus the DVD the menu will loop, but instead of playing right from the begging, it will loop back to the when the music plays and the menus appear.


Xaven, ive put a WMV version up now, so you can watch with no trouble.

umm, it says download, so wut do i get wen i download it??

Open it when its finished downloading and it will play.

The menu buttons dont work or nothing like that, just showing the menu off.

None of these are the real versions, the mpeg i got of it is the proper version and nearly 100mb, no one would wanna download it with a file size that big.

:bow:

:) Thanks again ffxfreak.

Might aswell says the things that will feature on the DVD...

The movie (of course)
Last Order
Prologue (On A way To A Smile & Case Of Tifa)
The Soundtrack
Anime Music Video (I made last month)

If anyone got things i could possibly put on the DVD just say.

If anyone wants a copy of the DVD whens its finished ill be hosting it on my server and it will be hosted ready-made to burn straight onto DVD region free.

ooh ooh i want one *begs*

yes but wont download such a huge file

It will be a big file, ill admit but if you got a good internet connection then it should take no time to download.

looked good. I approve.

he has cable and i have dsl

Cable, it wouldnt take him long then.

hope he goes along with it

Made more progress on the DVD.

All the works ive done so far. Ive setup the "setup" menu, but it hasnt been designed yet, so its not for show yet

Except the pictures of the AC album tracks, the menu are animated, before the the menu links become active.

"JENOVA AC VERSION" (my AC short version) play during the chapters menu.
"The Promise Land" plays on the Main Menu.
"Tatakau Mono Tachi" play during the "Special Features" menu.
"FFVII Main Theme [Piano Version]" plays on the menu of the first page "Music Od Advent Children" Menu
"Aeris Theme [Orchestra Version]" plays on the second page.

I'll be uploading Low Quality avi versions of the menu and they'll be quick and easy to download, so you can see for yourself.

awesome

Thanks, only 5 more things to do now.

Also forgot to mention, there will be an option for Surround sound or just stereo and will have a option to have english subs on or off.

Looking pretty cool. Can't wait to see how this comes out.

any idea on the size?

Ill look now...

EDIT: Where it normally says "DVD size", it hasnt shown up for how much DVD space ive used up so far, but im going for a 8.5GB DVD size.

I know your gonna think WTF! but i cant go for the normal 4.7GB size, all the stuff wont compress that small. The movie is over 5GB itself. Although anyone who has a internet connection over 1mb, will have to do about a day or so of downloading it. It takes me about 3 and a half hrs to download 1GB, so it wont take that long.

..........................................O_O

Big, but i kinda thought it would be for all that.

Here you go.
These arent encoded from the DVD, so there not actually how they will appear. The first and third just dont show you the highlighted navigation for when you move about through the menu options.

DVD Menu
AC Chapters, <--When the title drops down, thats when the the chapters pop up and start animating.
SF DVD Menu

The other screenshots i showed the other day, are not animted backgrounds like these, there just still pictures.

What you think?

awsome

Two more things finished.

DVD Setup Menu and the Last Order Menu.

OMG SO COOL!!!

Very nice work. I did something quite similar, unfortunetly, the actual movie is a lower quality. Also, I don't have the server space to upload my work.

Once again, very good work. I especially like the setup menu! ^^

Would love to download the whole thing!

BTW, is it in japanese with an english subtitle option or a japanese subtitle option?

Thanks, the prologue of the stories is going to take far too long and space, so im changing it to the 25 minute original of AC.

It's in Japanese and it's only going to have English optional, same with Last order. but you can turn the subtitle for both videos on both menus, so if you turn them on for the movie you turn them on the the OVA, but if you want them off it saves going all the way back if your planning to watch Last Order.

When the English dub is released, ill put both England and Japanese audio.

u have the special 25 min?!?!

yeah i do

can u give me a download of it pretty plze

Soz, its not for download, its not on my server yet.

:( is there anyway i can download it:(

Don't think so, mine is from the Advent Pieces limited Edition boxset.

can u jus remove that part into a sepeperate part, let me download it, and put it baq :cry:

If you want it, you'll have to wait. I only really want it to appear in the DVD, which hopefully will be up before xmas.

yes thanks

Whats the 25 minute special? Are there REALLY 25 minutes of cut video footage?

no.........jus a shorten version of the movie

I do also have short deleted clips and the making of Adven Children, but theres no subs for that.

wahh!?!? i must have the deleted clips!!!!

Soz, there not enough room on the DVD.

i meant.....as a download....

I'm only doing this stuff for the DVD, if theres no room, then it wont be available.

DAMM:(

Why would anyone want to watch a 25 minute version of the movie?
Is this like that long trailer thing shown at E3?

bcuz it came out bfor the movie?

Yeah but thats the point, I didnt know about it.

well now u kno

BTW Russielloyd, what program did you use to create this?
I only know of the one I used and nerovision express, which is crap.

I used Sony DVD Architect.

:whaaa: big words

huh?

OMG U HAVE DELETED SCENES AND SPECIAL 25 MIN TRAILER I MUST HAVE IT IMMEDITATLY

Deleted scenes only reach over 2 mins long and there about 7 of them, with no sound effects and voices only.

25mins is in 2 versions, 5.1 surround sound and stereo pro logic.

surrond sound:)

why no sound affects?

dunno, maybe because the voices are recorded before the sound effects but got cut from the movie before they did the sound effects. The only sound on them is the voices.

oo wells i still want it badly

Go buy the DVD then :P

:P cant cuase i dont have the money:(

i doubt were getting it today:(

Nope its not ready, i did have it planned ready before xmas, but had syncing problems with the movie, thats fix, i just gotta do the music now.

so how long now:(

Well, it being christmas, proberly beggining of the year. I got ther stuff im doing aswell. I'm a one man company here lol.

damm:(
