Hi,

Just trying to put together a simple DVD with a menu. Movie is a continuous piece to which I have added chapter points every 5 minutes.

When I preview this project, clicking the button on the menu screen takes me straight into the movie as I would expect. However, once I have burned the disc and try to play it on a DVD player, the button does not work.

I have added a screenshot of how the project looks. Any ideas as to where I am going wrong?




Thanks,

Adrian.

We need to do a little trouble shooting.  Go back to the project and instead of burning to a disc, select the option to create an ISO (image) file.  Name the file and select where you want it to be placed.  Once it finishes encoding you have 2 choices.

1) Copy the ISO file to a rewritable DVD and try that. (You can use Creator Classic for that copy.)
2) Create a virtual drive (home page, top menu) and load that ISO file into the virtual drive.  You can then play it on your computer just like if it were a real DVD.

Also, if you want only one title on the DVD, you can make a DVD, No Menu.  The movie will start playing as soon as the discs is read by the player.  It will also repeat at the end.

Edit: Did you do anything with the navigation settings for the DVD?
