If you have only one button, it is already the default. Just link that button to the timeline of the movie you want to play.

Don’t rely on Encore preview to determine how a DVD player remote will work. This “should” work if you set the default button on the menu to the timeline you want, then just press “play” or “enter” on the remote.
Burn to a rewriteable disk to test.

We still don’t understand the problems with this, but they changed the optional functional content install, and it installs only a few full templates (no separate buttons, backgrounds, etc).
And was no method in the beginning for getting the “old” content. There is now an announcement on the forum for this that links here:

You uncompress twice (a zip and a 7z), then put it in the right place or point Encore to where you put it.

I have always assumed that Adobe paid a price for not creating their own DVD system and using Sonic. But now that CS6 is 64 bit, and it has been so many years, you wonder. But I still assume that the rendering and Encore based transcoding (i.e all menu stuff) is the old system. And the change to the “correct” pars made calculating highlight positions in non-standard menu sizes (and up- or down-rezzing) an issue.
As long as you use correct menu sizes (and apparently downrez without relying on Encore) it does not appear to be a problem.

I have not done this enough to make a recommendation, and wonder whether other users and successfully going BD to SD with Encore doing the rescaling.
My guess, particularly since you have problems, is to do as “save as” of the BD version, then use “edit in photoshop” and rescale to the SD size. I’d look particularly at how the highlights line up.

Curious: is the DVD 16:9?
There have been issues with Encore not scaling menus well from BD to SD (or the reverse). But not a consistent pattern. I have not tested in CS6.

I turned the composition into a time line, “
Don’t do that: that makes it an intro movie. You want it to be the motion background of the menu, setting a loop point that will repeat when it has played the first time.

[Trey Yancy] “Cache (folder)
Project Name).ncor”This indicates that your project file “Project Name).ncor” is inside the project folder. The folders “cache” and “sources” are also inside that folder. Move the .ncor file to the next level up and give it a try.

I hear you, but the links are all relative to the project file location.
You probably tried this, but if you are opening Encore and then picking that file from the recent list, try selecting from the Open Project button.
