I just remember the method that our digital guru Jim used to add a dmsm file in MyDVD. In the current version of MyDVD, choose "Add Title". In the window that pops up, navigate to the folder where you have your Videowave production (dmsm file). Then in the File Name input box, type *.dmsm. Select the dmsm file that you want as an input. That's it!

In Videowave, create a video file of your production (Output|Export As). Then use that created video file as an input in MyDVD.

As far as I can remember, the Menu Title/Sub Chapter are always in MyDVD (never in Videowave). The Videowave is used to assemble and put together photos/videos/audio. Unlike in the previous versions, it appears that you can no longer directly drop in a Videowave production (dmsm file) in MyDVD. I just started using the NXT 7 Pro yesterday and created a video file of my Videowave production (in Videowave menu ==> Output|Export As) . I then used that video file in MyDVD. In the old version of MyDVD, it would allow you to use a Videowave production as an input file and even let you make edit to that Videowave production while in MyDVD. The other feature I miss in the current MyDVD is editing the Menu (changing menu title, chapter titles, editing background photo and audio) in one place.

I think you're looking to play the slideshow automatically when you insert the DVD and just keep it looping once it ends. I was also looking for that functionality today (using MyDVD of the NXT 7 and sadly I couldn't find that option. It used to be an option - "no menu" option? - in older version of Creator).

First time to use NXT7 today to create a slideshow and burn as a DVD video. I'm totally disappointed with MyDVD. Editing titles/chapter names/etc are done in several places. I tried changing the background photo in the menu but I am unable to undo it. The other thing that really surprised me is unable to add a dmsm file as an input.

Brendon, Good to know you're fine. Jess

Try to rename the *.m2ts file to *.mts. Let us know if audio is present now using that renamed file.

I copied this reply from another post (ggrussell): Add your movie file to the main menu. This creates a default button. Rename it "Play Movie" Select it and copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C) Move it slightly. Then Paste (Ctrl+V) the button back. Rename this button "Scenes" or "Select Scenes". Right click on this second button and choose Edit Chapters. Add your chapters and make sure the option at the bottom is checked to create a submenu. You now have two buttons on the Main Menu. One button plays the entire video. The second takes the viewer to another menu where they can choose the chapters.

It's been a while since the last time I used NXT2 but I know there was a known issue in prior versions when saving a project with custom menu longer than 30 seconds. When you reopen the project, the project defaults back to 30 seconds. You will need to reset the menu length when you open the project.

Got this even without typing the quotes.

Take a look at this article: http://corel.force.com/roxio/articles/en_US/Master_Article/Error-80004005-Error-While-Encoding-Menu?&page=1&topicCategory=NoFilter&keyWords=800700e&sb=new&source=kba

Does the link to the post below help? http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/75459-recording-pal-format-dvd/#entry377933

I haven't gotten that error message for a while but I remember defragmenting the drive did the trick for me.

I don't have Windows 8 but it may help people with the same OS to reproduce your error if you can provide detailed steps of what you were doing as well as description of the movie. What type of movie, a video clip or a DVD movie? If video clip, what type of file is it (wmv, mpg, etc)? Which application in the suite were you using?
