Menu: Project - Generate Report

Often it is useful to share some of the project information with other people. An example could be a "How to" document or tutorial, a bug report or a quick project explanation over internet (for example forums or E-mail)

There are three different Reports that can be generated from a project. First two are pure text reports while the third one uses images.

File Overview

A simple overview of the used audio and video files in project. This Report will report data on used audio/video files in Movies. It will only report a number of menus but nothing more.

Example:

VMG Menus: VMG Menu 1

VTS 1

Menus: Menu 1, Menu 2, Menu 3

Movie 1: MPV 720x576,25.00,4:3,00:04:02,PAL,6162 kbps

Audio 1: MPA 48.0 kHz,224 Kbps,00:04:02,Stereo,224 kbps

This report can be useful when you having some problem compiling files and need to share the file information with people on web boards or in E-mail.

Links & Commands

This Report creates a description of the project layout and logic. All links and VM Commands will be included.

Example:

First Play: Link to Menu "Menu 1" (VTS1)

Title Button: Link to Menu "Menu 1" (VTS1)

 

VMG Menus

-none-

 

VTS 1 Menus

Menu: "Menu 1"

PRE Command:

Button 1: Link to Movie "Movie 1", Chapter 1

End Link: -none-

 

VTS 1 Movies

Movie: "Movie 1" Chapters: 1

End Link: Root Menu

This report can be useful when examining the flow of the project or debugging complex layout. It can be sent by E-mail or post on web boards. By looking at the report someone may build a project that works similarly to the original

HTML with images

A full Report that not only combines the two previous reports but also adds images to illustrate the visual part of the project. This is a great way to make a tutorial or explain how some project looks and works. Everything that is needed to understand such project is included in the Report and by looking at it you can build a project that looks and works just like the original.

Such Report can be placed on a web page as a tutorial. It stores the images in "images" subfolder.

note Note: This above is obviously very simple project that has only one menu, one button and one movie. It is here for an illustration.
