Need To Create Chapters Button?

[JRRKAR]

In Roxio Creator 2011, MyDVD, if you create chapters within the movie (and want to have them available on a menu), is it necessary to create a "Chapters" button to access them....or is this something that is automatically created when the chapters are created?

 

When I created the chapters I did see them listed and a menu screen popped up that showed the chapters, I was just wondering how you access that menu.

 

Thanks.

I did already see that post and I understand the scene, chapters and titles. My question is that if you include chapters and want to have a menu available to scroll through the chapters, do you have to create this menu link, or is this something that automatically gets created? I saw a Chpaters Menu created, and it showed the four chapters I created, but I'm trying to figure out how to access that chapter menu from the main menu....if that explains it better.

 

I did a production last night but ran out of time to burn it to a DVD to see if I could access the Chapters via a menu, or if you just hit the next button it would go to the next chapter.

The chapter menu should open when you select the Title from the main menu page if you have created the chapter correctly and generated the chapter menu pages.

The chapter menu pages and correct links are automatically generated if you had the "generate chapters" check box enabled in the "Edit Chapters" window

AFTER you save, click the Preview Button in MyDVD (lower right) and take it for a test drive...

OK, I think I understand. On my production on the main page I labeled the button "Play", but that took you to the Chapter menu. So I relabled this "Chapters" and created a new button for "Play Movie" and linked it to the entire production. So everything is working as anticipated. It makes sense once you figure it out the first time. Thanks!

Well, you never told us you wanted a "Play Movie" button and a "Chapters" button

It's all good! Thanks.

Not a problem, being relatively new at this, you don't know the names of what you want to ask about

 

Don't let that stop you from popping in to ask questions or just to see what ideas may be out there for something you want to do...
