I've been working on this project for several weeks and need some help.  When I started it, I was going to try to insert this one video into an existing project, so I created it without a menu.  As things went along, I discovered the length was not going to fit onto the original project for a quality DVD, so I made this menuless video a separate project.  Now, I have two problems with it.
1.  Since there is no menu, it starts playing automatically as soon as the DVD loads.  I need to manually start it.
2.  I've been asked to add a separate subject to this project, so now I need to add menus.  I've tried clicking on the Menu tab but everything under it is grayed out and not available.  So, how can I add menues to a project that started out without menues?  If I can do that, I'll solve the first problem./

Thanks for any help I can receive.

Sorry but you cannot switch project type [e.g., DVD with no menu to DVD (with menu)] once you already started the project in MyDVD. You have to start a new project type.

As malatekid has posted you cannot switch one to the other.

One workaround:
copy the Video_TS folder from the DVD to your hard drive.
Launch myDVD and select the DVD with Menus porject type.
Add the movie in the Video_TS folder plus any other video. Each "Add" should create a new menu title.
