Root Menu = Menu Remote property for a timeline
Main Menu = Title Menu property for the disc -
Encore does not offer direct user input to GPRMs. However, Encore does automate many of the tasks a user might want to use scripting for, such as returning to the last menu, etc.
What tasks would you like to perform with Encore that you would normally use scripting for in DVDSP?

I would recommend that you encode your audio to Dolby Digital instead. Let us know if that works for you.

I’ve used Huffy many times…no problems yet.

Where do you see the problem- in a set top DVD player? If so, have you tried it in another player?
Are you transcoding Dolby Digital or MPEG-1 Layer II?
-
Are you using an AVI from PPro for the stills?
-
Try Huffy-YUV. Both the Discreet system and your Encore system will need the codec installed.
-
With the timeline selected, go to the Properties panel and set the End Action to chapter 1 of the same timeline.
-
One more trick (I’m running out here…):
Try holding down Shift+Ctrl while launching Encore. Hold these keys down until the Encore splash screen is gone and Encore has finished launching. Then try opening the Preview window.

A “soft” stop (press stop once, then press play) is a DVD player feature, which is independent of the DVD authoring tool. On these players, pressing stop twice renders a “hard” stop. If you then press play, the first title on the disc will play. If your player is behaving in this way after a single stop, then it does not support a soft stop, and nothing in the authoring tool can change this behavior.
In Encore, titles are written to disc by timeline creation orger, i.e., first timeline created = first title on the DVD. If you want more control over what happens when the user presses stop, then design your project with this in mind.
