Let's get started:

  1. Create a new canvas (Ctrl+N) with the following settings:



    2. Width: 480 pixels
    Height: 234 pixels
    Resolution: 72 pixels/inch
    Color Mode: RGB Color/8 bit
    Background Contents: anything you want

  2. Be creative.

  3. Once your custom graphic is finished, select Save As (Ctrl+Shft+S), give it the appropriate file name, change the format to bitmap (BMP), and select Save:

    4. File Naming Conventions:
    • Version 6.11C = Opening1.bmp
    • Versions 6.55 and higher = OpeningBase.bmp

    The filename of your background MUST be given the appropriate filename that corresponds to you DVD version number, otherwise your background will not work.




  4. Another screen will appear. Select the 16 bit radio button and select the Advanced Modes button:



  5. Yet another screen appears. Select the R5 G6 B5 radio button and select OK:



  6. That's it, you're all done! Keep in mind that the graphic you just created will only be viewable in MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Adobe Photoshop, and Gimp...just to name a few. This has to do with the color palette required for the Navigation System.
