DVDA scene selection navigation problem
I have a strange problem with a scene selection menu in DVDA 3. I have 2 rows each of 3 scenes. The scenes are to be underlined only. I have set the navigational buttons for the right button to go from 3rd scene on top row to the first scene on second row & visa versa. By using just the right or left buttons the user doesn’t have to tell the DVD to go up/down from one row to the next. This all works perfectly on the workplace screen & with the navigation overlay I can see that the correct thing is happening.
When I go to the preview screen things are different. The first scene top left has the underline displayed correctly. If I press the right button it goes to the second & third scene on top row correctly. Then when I press the right button when on the top right scene I’m finding the both the first scene on both top & bottom rows have the scenes selected by the underline, & as I continue pressing the right button the 2 center scenes then the 2 right scenes are selected. Press the left button the same thing happens.
The only clue that I have as to what’s happening is that when I get sets of underlines displayed at once the lines are of DIFFERENT thickness. I have also noticed that when I select links I sometimes have 2 choices for any particular scene. One choice has my scenes name & the second has the work auto in front of the name. Just what is auto? Is it just DVDA’s guess as to what functions I am likely to choose?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what my problem might be & how to correct it?
Thanks in advance

I think it may be because your buttons are overlapping – try either reducing their size or moving them further apart.

Reducing the size fixed the problem. I still don’t see why it would display correctly in edit mode & not in preview.
Thanks once again
Thanks in advance

PW nailed it! Have seen this problem before, overlapping menu elements. If the preview screen (PC) has the screen resolution set too low to support the screen real estate required by the preview this can happen. Despite the fact that all appears ok on the edit screen. Also found it was best to have the preview mode set to ‘High’ if you want get previews that come close to the desired end result.

Yes it was great to get a solution to that problem. At least the program is now on disk pretty much as I had intended it. I had 2 other things in mind to try before burning the disk but they were mainly just to see how it happens. Well neither of those 2 extra things happened but I can’t see myself wasting more time just to get 2 extra things that I didn’t really mind.
Just for the record they were doing transitions between 2 menus’ & adding an extra option to my menu so that you could have had the option of seeing just the highlights of the disk.
Thanks in advance
