“I fail to see…”
Since I’ve never heard of this issue (and I’ve heard of a lot of issues), I thought I’d try eliminating as many possibilities as come to mind.
If your monitor’s not calibrated, then calibrate it. If your working color space in Photoshop isn’t matched to your current PS task, then fix it. That’s sound advice even if Encore didn’t show this problem.
Check the white balance on your camera and on all of your photos.
Open the good and bad Encore photos in any and all applications on your system that can view a .jpg image, including After Effects and whatever Apple puts on their systems these days.
Call Adobe Tech Support.
Good luck.

I’ve never heard of this, either.
Some things to check:
1. Is your computer monitor properly calibrated?
2. Can you open them in any app and have them not look blue? Is that app color profile aware?
3. What is your working color space in Photoshop?

The OP’s original menu was static. I was replying to him.

The behavior of Next/Previous buttons when moving from one timeline (VTS) to another is unpredictable and is different on different brands and models of DVD player.
In your current situation, Encore puts the timelines on the disc in the order that they were created, which will probably let you figure out which timeline will come next.
The trick with Encore 1.5 is to put a “dummy” chapter marker at the last GOP of each timeline. When the last “real” chapter is playing, pressing the Next button will navigate playback to the dummy chapter, and then the end action for the timeline will execute. Unfortunately, the Previous button won’t work the same way.
Did you try letting Encore transcode the complete video?

Your static menu doesn’t require rendering, but your animated menu does. So the problem manifests itself once Encore flattens your still image menu and converts it to a video clip.
I would investigate possible PAR issues and/or possible interlacing or cropping issues.

Resize your video in Avid to 720×480 before exporting. The frame size you are using will always be interpreted by Encore as Blu-Ray.

Can you create a brand-new project, import a video clip as a timeline, set the end action of the timeline to itself and get the timeline to repeat?
If you are successful, can you then add a menu, make the menu first play, link a button to the timeline, change the end action of the timeline to point to the menu, and get the timeline to return to the menu?
What you are trying to do is common and should work without any problems. Procedural error is the only cause that I can think of, which is why I am asking you to set up these basic tasks.

Why do you want to do that? Unless you are making a special menu with some kind of Easter Egg, that will only confuse the audience.

You are correct – you don’t need a menu.
Add your video clip to a timeline. Set the timeline as First Play and then set the end action of the timeline to itself. It will loop forever.
