Full Stop Play doesn’t return to Main Menu
Hello,
My DVD player announces, “Press stop only once and DVD will Resume Play from this position. If you press stop twice DVD will Play from the Main Menu upon resume.”
Only my Encore DVD always plays from the point at where I stopped it.
Is there a way for the DVD Player to to discern between being stopped once and being played at that position upon resume, and back to menu on two stops on my Encore DVD (like professional DVD’s)?
Thanks.

I don’t know how your DVD player can make such an announcement, as that is purely a function of how the disc was authored. I have several DVD players, and when you are in a Hollywood DVD title and hit stop twice, hitting play again most often restarts the first title on the disc. And menus are not titles on a DVD, although there are title menus.
You can set up a ‘dummy’ PGC which points to a menu. In Encore, titles are timelines, and are written to disc in the order in which they are created. So to do the ‘dummy PGC’ trick, you would create an empty timeline first in your project, then later link its end action to your title menu. When you fully stop the player, hitting play again will play your first title, which immediately jumps to your title menu.
Hope it helps,
