Don’t use custom size in the Build panel…select dual-layer DVD.
Other than that, what’s going wrong?

Convert the mp3 to uncompressed 16 bit 48 kHz WAV, and use that in Encore.

Tell us about the format and settings of the song and the video.

I’ve never seen this problem with Encore (I use Premiere Pro and After Effects assets). Something else is at issue.

You are awesome.
Overrides aren’t usually necessary in Encore 2.0 or later, and are the number one cause of navigation errors. Avoid using them if you can, and use them only when you fully understand them and they are absolutely necessary.
If you ever find you need to use an override, consider whether a chapter playlist would be a better choice.

Here’s a bit of advice that may help. Don’t use chapter end actions. And in case you are and it hasn’t come out yet, by all means do not use overrides.
Let me take a guess and state that you basically want two functions from your menus: to play all chapters in a timeline, or to play individual chapters only.
Is this correct? Let me know, then we can go from there.

I don’t understand all of the details of your project, but it sounds like it’s doing what you told it to do: when the chapter playback ends, go to the main menu, default button.
What do you want it to do?
-
Easy…in your example, create two menus, each having the image you want displayed. Then on the original menu, link each button to the correct menu. Then set each button on the original menu to auto-activate.
The result will be when the viewer selects a button, it will automatically go to the next menu.
The only drawback is that on a software DVD player, the user will have to click the button to go to the next menu – but this is the common drawback to all workarounds limitations of menus in DVD-Video.

Have you got an end action on the last chapter?
-
You can do this using multiple menus, using the button auto-activate feature.
