hello now based on
though last critics to DVD 3 guy I
have decided to make and many guides to
be
am used on YouTube about how to change
the background
image Emanuel and Emmanuel a
that you would create when converting
various video files
with the software ConvertXtoDVD
converting
AVI depicts move files and so forth to
DVD
and you can make a menu with the
software at Pearse nice menu
so let's go ahead and take a look at
those steps what we can do
to change the background image for
example here I have
am you can slide this preview
window which is on the side here if it's
not already showing for you
you can go to window and say video
preview and that while
show right here on the right you can
take drop and drag from this video
preview
outside the window and so that you can
move its
anywhere you would like so I am doing
this so that hopefully you can see
the preview of the menu they're making a
little bit more clearly
now I have Rd added a video file to
the project it can do so by track
dropping
and tracking file into this main window
and my file here it's
title September 1 the file name is red
skies
you could also do so by plane to file
added video for so I might save added to
file:
and nail we can click on their top
option which is DVD options and
we're gonna go ahead and jump down to go
directly to the point at this video and
change the background
image now there are multiple menus that
are made
and the first menu is your title menu
which means if you're putting more than
one video on your DVDs title menu will
be created
it will show the 3 are the three
example is three videos you attempt this
is video one here there
another video on that video and and then
went to click on that
it would be there start playing the will
be directly or go to the root manual
so we have a couple menus to personalize
hot sex so this is their
title menu we see here so I C title menu
promoters
going to click on the plus next to that
and already I see a text at title text
for 10 minutes so
I can change that's here we can see in
the preview on the right as my DVD
I can set this to you am video demo
and that will be changed right away
by clicking and sign and right
underneath that I can see back on
image cynically car mats and see what
we can you to personalize it now the
says template settings and
the template that has been selected here
cuz I've downloaded the latest version
it's the black mayor and you can go
ahead and change the menu templates
the only there are some templates you
cannot change the back on image
any of these via so classy templates you
can change the background
image on the house so I'm changing mess

custom file and it can be a video
plainbackground or still image

top here I can go
into the settings
