Ah yes, of course.
BluStreak will give you more options to customize the image/folder than Toast will.

This problem has been documented for a long time. I thought maybe Adobe had addressed it by now, but maybe not? It happens on the Mac OS only, and happens with long BD projects only. The solution is to create an image file, then burn using Toast.

User operations do not work with Blu-ray projects. In fact, i’m surprised you were able to build the disc at all after changing them, normally it generates an error message.
Not sure what could be causing the problem with question #2. This normally works just fine. You are setting the menu button to return to last menu correct? What does it do instead of the desired action?

You can set it to go back to any chapter, and you can place a chapter at just about any time, however you still can’t avoid the fact that the player has to reposition the laser. Now, if your video is short, and the laser doesn’t have to move far, then the freeze will be minimal.

The preview is not an accurate representation of exactly how it will play after burned. The laser will have to reposition itself back to the beginning, so you will have to expect some kind of freeze or possible black frame while it does this. It is a limitation of the dvd/bluray format.

You should read this blog post regarding this exact problem:

Basically there is a very good method for downscaling on the PC, and so far no method on the Mac can compare. There are suggestions in the blog post that will get you better looking results, but none that compare to the PC method.

No you do not.
You simply have to use the very feared and misunderstood “Override” command. Actually, there are a couple ways to do this, but I will go over the easiest.
Set the end action of the timeline to go back to chapter 1 of the same timeline (so it loops over and over).
Then, the loop button on the menu should link to the timeline normally.
The Play button will also link to the timeline, however the ‘Override’ of the play button should be set to return to the main menu. What this does is override the end action of the item it is linking to, which in this case is your timeline. So instead of the timeline normally looping back to the beginning, the end action will be overridden, and it will return to the main menu.

Your background video should be the same length as the audio. Otherwise, you are having encore create a video that is the length of the audio… might as well do it yourself properly in an editing app such as Premiere or even After Effects. Your problems will disappear.

Does your computer have a software Blu-ray player such as Power DVD?
Does your shelf-top Blu-ray player require a firmware update to playback burned BD-R discs?

Are you talking about burning Blu-ray content on a standard DVD? Or are you talking about burning a Blu-ray disc?
I highly recommend using Adobe Encore for Blu-ray authoring, as it is the program of choice for our advanced Motion Menu Template products, which are designed for DVD and Blu-ray authoring on multiple platforms.
