Are the video and audio exactly the same length?

I don’t have any idea if you get the same thing when you add only an Encore library button. I assume your custom button has a non-highlight layer that is full frame.
Try adding an Encore library menu, then add your motion assets to that.
Don’t forget to render the menu each time you make a change.

Yes. You will see the option for BDROM in the build panel. You must add a folder (not files). The Encore build will rename that folder to “Data,” and the files in the folder will be inside this Data folder on the BD. It is at the root (same level as BDMV and Certificate, so easy for a user to find.

This is usually due to exceeding the button max:
For a DVD 4:3 menu, you can have no more than 36 buttons. For a 16:9 menu, 18 buttons.

In Encore, build panel, you will see that when the “Format” is set to Blu-ray and the “Output” is set to Blu-ray disc (i.e. you want to burn a disc), the only “Create using” options are “current project” or “disc image” – no folder as source. You must build to a disc image, not a folder.
For DVD, no problem, with format/output set to DVD/DVD Disc, you have “DVD Volume” as an option.

What program are you burning from? Encore? ImgBurn? Toast?
If Encore, what do you show as the source?

That’s it!

One option: Menu duration set to 30 seconds. Menu end action timeline 1. If you don’t want it to loop when Timeline 3 returns to the menu (if the disk does not “stop” at that point), create duplicate menu (duration forever and end action “stop”), and return to that one.

Great advice for a relative newbie would stop at “no” (you can’t do it)! I see I forgot to add it: Autoactivate won’t work on rollover (if viewed on a computer using the mouse to click).
Enjoy giving it a go! Let us know if it works.

In a standard menu navigation, just remember that DVD menu highlights are limited to 2 bit color. Anything fancy will get jagged. but try it like that and see what you get.
Sound, no.
Fancy versions: set the plain button version on Main Menu 1 (let’s call it), to “autoactivate.” When it is selected, it activates (even though the user does not click it, it activates). It is linked to Main Menu 2, with that button image with the lights on and a motion menu audio with sound. Or even better, just use a background movie in Main Menu 2 with the truck button image not in the button but in the background (it looks like it is the button) with the lights flashing on and off and the horn beeping.
