Excellent!

Try the Encore export to flash build. You can use their templates or create your own. It added functionality and flexibility at each version, so CS6 maximizes your options.

By character control is difficult, if it works. Save yourself the grief, even if you get it to work: use “edit in Photoshop” for menu modification.

Do you have an override on the button that links to the timeline?
Do you have an end action on a last chapter marker?
If not, as a test, start a new Encore project and see if you have the same problem.
This simple end action should work?

Adobe says it is because disk media is not the future:

This blog post shows how to use Encore CS6 with Premiere CC.

I think it is ultimately that Adobe does not want to invest the money/programming resources to fix problems. It is absurd to say that Encore is not being brought into CC because the future is somewhere else. Many professional videographers MUST deliver DVDs and Blurays.

By photo background, I assume you mean a still, non-motion background.
The error makes no sense. What is the exact wording?
You might post a screenshot, but I’m not sure what to suggest: flowchart? Project panel with sizes?

DVD-ROM has nothing to do with timeline or menu content on your disk. All menus, including motion, must be under 1 Gig on disk.
So what kind of menu and menu motion content do you have?

You can put multiple videos (and dynamic links) on one Encore timeline, but I think it is asking for trouble. Put each video (and dynamic link sequence) from Premiere) onto its own timeline. Make a Play All by putting them into a Playlist.
BUT I don’t understand what you are doing when you talk about transitions. So I assume you are actually trying to get one video with short clips connected by transitions. Make that one movie in Premiere and dynamic link it to Encore (or from Encore).
Start a new Encore project for that timeline.
If that is what you already did, and something seems broken, that is possible, but we need more info to sort it.

For DVD, since it will be MPEG2, just use the MPEG2-DVD preset.
The problem is that it is all about bitrate, and that depends on other content on the DVD and the content length.
If it is short, you can just use CBR (constant bitrate) at a high level.

No batch for multiple DVDs, but a single DVD is no problem.
You can add multiple sequences to an Encore project from the Encore side: in Encore, File -> Adobe Dynamic Link.
Keep each set to “automatic” transcode. Do all menu, etc, authoring. Encore will then fill the disk.
I set Encore to use AME for the transcoding. Go to “Edit -> Preferences -> General.
Sometimes it doesn’t get it right, most often with downrezzing HD to SD for DVD. But give it a try.
If you can’t use automatic, from Premiere, just set each export to “queue” rather than “export.” It will line them up in AME. Start it running, and it will do them all.
You can also use that if you are doing one sequence per DVD.
