help me get this project done, please

Chapters by definition are start points, not end points, so to achieve what you want you need to –
1. Create the second menu by “Insert Submenu” rather than Scene selection
2. On this submenu add the whole movie separately for each chapter, double click to open the timeline then drag the yellow arrows to make that instance start and end where you want. DVDA will realise that it is the same movie and not double/triple etc the space used.
Ths way, when each chapter plays it will return to the submenu, or wherever you set End Action to go.

For Photoshop, do a trial template, import to DVDA and check safe areas, then adjust as necessary.

Audio levels cannot be adjusted in DVDA, so you need to set these when encoding, in Vegas or whatever you are using. If you are finding ac3’s are sounding quieter than you expect, create a custom template – I call mine “Maintain Levels” – with the following changes in settings (courtesy Edward Troxel) to the default ac3 template:
Audio Service / Dialogue normalization: Set to -31dB
Preprocessing / Line mode profile : set to None
Preprocessing / RF mode profile : Set to none
