I created a slide show in Photostory 3 and it looked great so I decided to make a DVD. I purchased MyDVD 8 Premere last weekfor the sole purpose of doing this. After struggling with it for a week I found the hot fix that resolved my issue burning the DVD at all mentioned in several threads here). Now I have several small hinderences I hope someone here can help me with, before this project drives me to drink (more).
1. I cannot add an unlinked button: It's on the drop down menu but grayed out. I changed to project view like the help section says. At the top of the help section it also says that you may have to purchase a software upgrade in order to use all the features...I thought MyDVD 8 Premere was suppose to have that feature. Im I wrong, I'm I just missing something?
2. I got the DVD built (without the buttons I wanted) but for some reason when you use the preview feature and after I burned the DVD the tab order is off. You have to dance all around with the arrow keys to select the item you want. Is there a way to adjust the tab order mannually? What controls the tab/arrow key order? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
3. Finally and most frustrating: I got the DVD burned. Got it home (this is a project for work) and popped it in the DVD player...after dancing around with the buttons mentioned in #2 above. I pressed play...the movie looks great, except for this very small yellow line across the very bottom of the page and the bottom of the page also periodically disappears and then comes back with the yellow line.
HELP Please!

At the top of the help section it also says that you may have to purchase a software upgrade in order to use all the features...I thought MyDVD 8 Premere was suppose to have that feature. Im I wrong, I'm I just missing something? Yes, you are wrong. The only product that has all of the functions enabled is EMC V8 deluxe.
2. I got the DVD built (without the buttons I wanted) but for some reason when you use the preview feature and after I burned the DVD the tab order is off. You have to dance all around with the arrow keys to select the item you want. Is there a way to adjust the tab order mannually? What controls the tab/arrow key order? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there are any overlaps in the buttons ao their name, you will have a problem. The tab order is across then back just below the first and then across again.
3. Finally and most frustrating: I got the DVD burned. Got it home (this is a project for work) and popped it in the DVD player...after dancing around with the buttons mentioned in #2 above. I pressed play...the movie looks great, except for this very small yellow line across the very bottom of the page and the bottom of the page also periodically disappears and then comes back with the yellow line. Sounds like the file from Photostory 3 may have a problem. Did you try buying the add-on to Photostory to burn the projects one at a time from there? What screen resolution did you use for the project, the burning and then playback. Did you use a stand alone DVD player (where you may not see that line) or on your computer's DVD player? If you watch that DVD on a stand alone player and TV, chances are that that yellow line will be outside the TV safe area and you won't see it.
