Here’s what you do. After filling in the title attributes, etc. and Encore opens with your loaded project,
1. Click “Project” This will clear things from previous projects. It will give two lines in the box beneath.
2. Click in a clear area beneath the last line in the box. This is important. Clicking in an open area anywhere will place you in the layer you need.
3. To the right, you should see in the Properties “Disc.” Under “Disc” the first line is “Name: Untitled Project.” Give your project a name. Anything will do. This is for your information more than for Encore. It will separate this specific project from other Encore projects.
4. Come down to “First Play.” To the right of “First Play:” click the arrow on right, select the name of the file, select chapter 1. This tells Encore to begin here.
5. Move down finding “Title Button.” Click the right arrow. Select “Stop.” This is simply asking you what to do with the “Title” button on the remote control. This is the error I struggled with for so long.
6. Click the top line in the Project box to the left. The Properties box on the right will change from “Disc” to “Timeline.”
7. Come down to “End Action” and set “End Action” to “Stop” if you want the DVD to stop playing when finished, or select the file name and “chapter 1” if you want the DVD to loop.
6. Click “Build” in the menu. The Build menu pops up.
7. Click “Check Project.” The “Check Project” menu box comes up. Click “Check Project.” If everything is set as above, the “Problem” box will be empty. Close the “Check Project” box.
8. Make certain a DVD is in the drive. Click “Build”
Your DVD will burn.
