You use the Button tab to configure the buttons to add to the subtitle.
• Name: By default, buttons are named “Button _,” where “_” is the button number in
that menu. To reduce confusion when viewing a list of the menu’s buttons, it is helpful
to rename the buttons based on their functions.
• Default: Choose the button to be selected when the subtitle appears during playback
of the title. This setting can be overridden by any element that jumps to this subtitle’s
marker, based on its jump setting.
• Target: You can use this pop-up menu to define a button’s action when activated. (You
can also use the Connections tab or Control-click the button.) Often you must set the
connection later because what you want to jump to has not been added to the project
yet. The pop-up menu contains all possible elements you can jump to.
• Highlight: Select the color mapping set (1, 2, or 3) to use for this button.
• Angle/Audio/Subtitle Streams: Use these three pop-up menus to have a button select
specific angle, audio, and subtitle streams to play back. For the subtitle stream, you
can also choose whether subtitles should appear. These settings are only active if the
target is set to “not set.” You can set the target to run a script if you want a button to
jump to a specific stream in a different track.
• Remote: This area lets you set the actions that take place when the viewer uses the
arrow buttons on the DVD player’s remote control to navigate through the title. Because
this is the typical way the title will be viewed, it is important to spend some time
configuring the navigation in a logical, predictable way. See
for information.
