No, unfortunately, the menus aren't text that can be read. For some
reason, they're graphical representations of the text, so reading
them isn't possible at this time. If I can swing it though, I do
plan to add an option that will allow you to select an entry from a
secondary menu, where it lists the name or number of the selections
on the disk, so that we don't have to deal with the inconsistent
design of most dvds menus, where some of them are in a list, and up/
down arrow takes you to the next one, and some where they're in
double columns, and right/left arrow as well as up/down arrow is
necessary to find all the selections. This will be a bit bigger of a
feature than a simple adding of keystrokes though, so though I do
plan to do this, it won't be right away.
I'll add it to the todo list.

I don't suppose the player will actually read the menus?

Subject: New version of SoftconDVDPlayer
Someone asked if I was going to add key command equivalents for the
buttons in the dvd player I posted the other day. The answer is yes,
and it's now available. It's been posted, and has replaced the
previous version, so if you've not downloaded it yet, now you'll get
the keyboard commands too. If you've already downloaded it, go get a
new copy, I think you'll like what's been done to it.
Some of the buttons already had keyboard equivalents, so those were
left as is, but those that had none now do.
You can fastforward/rewind (at 4x speed) move to previous or next
scenes, Set and go to bookmarks, Change camera angles, and go to the
menu on the current selection, or on the main screen. All key
commands are lised in the readme.rtf file, so have a look. Anything
else you folks want added, let me know.
I'm still working on getting the language and descriptive video
options to behave themselves.

Hope you find it useful.
