Default Settings:
8. Intern
Language: Actually
you can select either English or German (Deutsch). If anyone wants to
have another language (translate it) contact me in one of the support
boards... If language is changed, it is necessary to 'Save' the
settings (don't use 'OK' only) and restart GfD.
TV Safe Area Color: Color for the dotted frames
if 'Show TV Safe Area' is switched on. Click in the yellow
square
to change this color
Show point grid if TV safe area = on: If you have
'TV Safe areas' switched on, you may set this
option to show a point grid (with the given raster width).
Raster X: Raster width in X (horizontal) direction
Raster Y: Raster width in Y (vertical) direction
Use Raster: If activated, all elements (images,
text, buttons)
are moved in the given pixel raster (default = 16 pixel). Switch off to
enable any positions (if elements are moved with the cursor keys, this
setting is not used).
Auto Group: Is only functional for pure graphical
buttons. If
activated, buttons are moved together with the underlying image/clip
(only
if the image/clip and the button have exactly the same position and
size).
To access the properties of underlying images/clips, use Shift (or Ctrl
or Alt) and right mouse button.
Blur settings: Enable or disable blurring
for menus and set up the values for
X
(horizontal) direction and Y (vertical) direction

Defaults for Create Layout by Grid: Here you may set
your preferences for the 'Grid
menu layout' function.
Rows/Columns are restricted to 1 to 35, all other values are in pixel
and restricted to the menu size (PAL<->NTSC).
Subtitle Formatting: Defaults for font, position, character set... of text based subtitles. The button opens a
dialog for these settings. No meaning for MuxMan.
Adjust NTSC timecodes (dvdauthor only):
Dvdauthor creates sometimes 'strange' chapter timings (probably depends
on drop frame/non drop frame timecodes). If you use existing timecodes
(from chapterextractor or ifoedit or similar) these are probably
already corrected. In this case you should not use this option. If the
chapters are created with the extended
chapter editor ChapEditGFD, the timecodes may still need a correction. In case of doubt, just try it out.
Ask for save: If
activated you will be asked to save the project
in case of any changes.
Automatically accept Video and Audio files: If
activated the
Audio and Video files dialog is automatically closed with defaults
after 0.5 seconds. Useful if you have a bunch of ready video files
(like music video clips), where no special settings for chapters,
multiple audio streams, subtitles... are used.
Keep global gfd.log file: If
activated, all 'CreateDVD' runs are logged in the specified file (only
project name, output folder, contained video files and status are
written). New information is always appended.
Number of Frames for still menus: You may select the
number of
frames for still menus here (default=1 in version 0.99; in prior
versions 2 or 1); Some stand alone players (Pioneer) have problems with
only
one frame, PowerDVD has problems with 2 to 6 frames... therefore this
parameter is selectable since version 0.91
with a default of 1 frames. For maximum compatibility use around 15
frames. Should be fixed with version 1.00, but as I don't know all
players, the option is kept. For MuxMan this option has no meaning.
Use insnav for still menus with audio: Mplex doesn't
add navigation packs (except the first one) for 'single frame' MPEGs
with a (longer) audio file. Some users reported problems with this
behavior. The insnav program (from C. Patel) which is also used for
Audiotitlesets adds these additional navigation packs. This
seems to work fine if really only 1 or 2 video frames are there. It
seems to fail if more then ~ 6 Frames are there. Since this depends on
your setting for 'Number of Frames for still menus', it is up to you to
decide what to do. For maximum compatibility use animated menus.
Size indicator Max.:
Maximum of the size
indicator bar. Use 5 GB for normal DVD5 and 10 GB for double layer
DVDs.
