Re: [Dvdauthor-users] RE: Perplexing problems with spumux

[joel c. <jo...@gw...>]

 Andrew,

The unofficial DVD specs (http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/menus.php) says=20
that you can have up to 36 buttons in a menu.
However, i have not tried to use spumux with such a number of buttons,=20
nor to dig into spumux code to see if there is a limitation (rather poor=20
programmer, and no time)

Cheers
Jo=EBl
