MacroSystem Digital Video DVD-Arabesk 2 Manual Do Utilizador

instantly returned to the main menu of the 
DVD and the operating panel remains in the 
foreground.

With the “Chapter” button you enter a selection 
list in which you can directly access each 
chapter so long as it has already been created 
(see section 3.1, item (1) Edit chapter).

The button “Film” has a function comparable 
to the button “Chapter”. With its help you can 
move film-by-film through the menu.

With the two buttons in the bottom line you can 
move chapter-by-chapter through the menu. 

With the  Stop, Play and Pause buttons in the 
upper line you can abort playback, play the 
desired film or stop temporarily.

Note: At first you see the trailer, assuming that 
you have set the function “Trailer only” under 
“Control”. Then the menu is displayed. During 
this time you may click the right trackball key 
at any time to display the operating panel 
without interrupting the running film. The panel 
disappears again when you press Play to start 
another film from the menu.

(6) Clicking on the button “DVD” causes the DVD 
in the drive to be played. The DVD must be a 
DVD that has been written with “DVD-Arabesk”. 

If the DVD has been created under an earlier 
version of “DVD-Arabesk”, then you will see 
the films represented not with icons, but with 
the terms “Film 1”, “Film 2”, etc., which can be 
selected.

In this section describes the three functions 
contained in the third block named 
“Miscellaneous”. 

This block provides additional options for using 
Arabesk.

(7) With “DVD-Arabesk 2” you can make copies 
of DVDs that you have written with “DVD-
Arabesk 2” or “DVD-Arabesk”.

To make a DVD copy, you Read the source DVD 
to the hard disk and then write a DVD-R or RW. 
The result is a 100% copy without loss.

This function is meant to let you copy your 
own finished DVDs after you have deleted the 
project from the hard disk and you still require 
additional copies.

Copying automatically includes all menus, 
chapter information, etc. You don’t have to make 
these settings again.

Note: If you wish to make a 1:1 copy of your 
DVD, you should not make any further changes 
before writing (e.g. insert projects, change 
background menu), because the DVD menu will 
not be correctly displayed once written.

An additional possibility is to modify an already 
existing DVD: Imagine that you have an old DVD 
containing video material of a vacation spot you 
have visited. Imagine further that you spent last 
summer at the same spot and you would now 
like to archive your new film material together 
with the older material.

With “DVD-Arabesk 2” you can read in 
the original DVD, insert additional projects 
(assuming enough space on the DVD) and write 
a new DVD.

In doing so you should take account of the 
following:
When you read in a DVD that has been created 
with “DVD-Arabesk 2” then in the window 
“Edit Menu” you will see your original menu. 
Moving backgrounds are an exception. These 
cannot be restored but can only be represented 
as gray fixed images. If your original DVD has 
been created with a previous version of “DVD-
Arabesk”, then it is not possible to restore the 
original menu.
