spumux - highlight/select offset error

[Mike Martin-5]

Hi
The DVDs I am creating have a very wierd offset in the buttons

spu.xml file is

<subpictures>
<stream>
<spu start="00:00:00.00" image="/home/mike/image.png"
select="/home/mike/select.png" highlight="/home/mike/highlight.png"
force="yes"
autooutline="infer"  outlinewidth="2"
autoorder="columns" > <button name="ONE" /><button name="TWO"
/><button name="THREE" /><button name="FOUR" /></spu>
</stream>

INFO: default video format is NTSC
INFO: Picture /home/mike/image.png had 3 colors
INFO: Picture /home/mike/highlight.png had 3 colors
INFO: Picture /home/mike/select.png had 3 colors
INFO: Autodetect 0 = 70x140-323x352
INFO: Autodetect 1 = 70x360-323x572
INFO: Autodetect 2 = 390x140-643x352
INFO: Autodetect 3 = 390x360-643x572
INFO: Pickbuttongroups, success with 1 groups, useimg=1
INFO: Found EOF in .sub file.
INFO: Max_sub_size=4438
INFO: 1 subtitles added, 0 subtitles skipped, stream: 32, offset: 1.00

There is a shadow from previous buttons on all buttons after the first
on highlight/select

I attach a gzip of four pngs to show the effect

menu.mpg ,highlight.png, image.png, select.png are all 720 x568

The buttons overlap, which shouldn’t be a problem in itself.

I’m inclined to blame VLC. Did you try an actual consumer DVD-Video
player? I have yet to find anything else which reliably handled some of
the more advanced menu features. Except perhaps Ogle, which has its own
flakiness.

On on of my DVD players I get the same

Any idea why they are overlapping and what I can do to prevent it?

My heads hurting now, running out of things to try.

The menu.mpg created by spumux doesn't seem any different to the
source or the various heighlight etc pngs (which are all 2 colour with
transparent backgound)

You mean you don’t want them overlapping?

Maybe this is a limitation of the “autooutline="infer"” behaviour. Try
specifying explicit button bounds.

Making progress

Not to do with infer, it seems to be related to colors used

So far testing shows problem does not occur if

Only one of image/select/highlight is defined
all point to the same file
all three have the same colour

All three are generated on the fly by GD and the only difference is
the color ie

'image'=>[$blue,$black],
'highlight'=>[$green,$blue],
'select'=>[$red,$white],
(first color background, second foreground)

Can you post the actual PNG menu images, not screenshots? Then I can
try to match up the button images with the coordinate bounds you
previously posted.

I just thought, your previous log reported “INFO: default video format
is NTSC”, yet these menu images are 720×576 (PAL size). Could that be
the problem?

Which format disc are you trying to create?

I wouldn't have thought so
In my case its always PAL and defined everywhere as such, where possible

Also if the colors are the same for multiple files,the problem doesn't arise

You must have missed one, judging from the message you posted earlier.

I just used the three images and spu.xml you posted earlier to build a
test DVD-Video directory structure in all-PAL format, and tried
bringing up the menu in Ogle, and the highlighting looks absolutely
fine: blue for default state, green for highlight, and a momentary
flash of red when I select a button. Works for all four buttons.
