Hi all
I’m putting together an information and support DVD for people who have recently discovered that they have failing vision caused by a range of eye conditions that can't be cured. That may sound odd - a DVD may not at first seem the best medium to communicate with visually impaired people. But actually it could well be far more accessible than a website or a leaflet.
This is my query:
I want to split the programme in to at least 5 parts – it’s an hour long. Is there any way I can create a front end menu that includes audio for spoken instructions?
Of the whole DVD, navigating conventional a menu is likely to be the hardest bit for this audience, partly because it’s harder to see, and partly because many of the users are likely to be older and perhaps less familiar with more than the basic functions of a DVD player. A “push-in the-disc-and it-just-plays” option would be my ideal, but I do need to include some way of selecting which section to view.
For example, could I make ia menu say “On your remote, press button 1 for part 1, 2 for part 2 . . . “ and so on. And can I configure the disc to get the remote buttons to work like that?
All suggestions gratefully welcome. Up till now I have always used Edius’s own DVD authoring features, but I am guessing this requirement can’t be done that way?
I do also have Adobe Encore CS3 but haven’t used it before.
