Thanks Matt,
I think that I am going to do 2 videos with the different settings, and author them to a dvd and play on tv to see what the difference looks like. Thanks for all your comments. Always nice to have others steer you in the right direction. -

Jeff,
Looks like that may have taken care of it. I have played the main menu items, and they seem to be alright now. It’s almost 1am, so I will check everything on the ss menu later this morn. Thanks again for everything.Steve

I haven’t tried removing them yet, but yes you’re right. Before you suggested using the playlist route, I had already put end actions on the chapter markers. But by removing them, am I going to somehow mess up the scene selection menu, seeing that it is working properly now?

That took care of that problem, and now created another one. Remember that all of the items on main menu were originally fine. Now if I play the reception video from the main menu, it plays the bridal party entrance then goes to the scene selection menu, instead of playing all of the reception video and going back to the main menu. I am so sorry to come to you with all these problems, and I can’t understand why this is happening when everything seems to keep changing with every slight change in the menu setup.

Jeff,
Thanks for the help. That idea with the playlists for the scene selection menu helped. Now for some reason I have another problem. After I did the playlists all was fine. I added music to both menus, and re-rendered the ceremony video, because I added some music to the begining of the video. Anyway, now when I play the reception video from the main menu, it is supposed to play all of video and return to main menu. For some reason, now it ends and goes to scene selection menu, evem though the end action is set to go to main menu. When I do a build check only one thing comes up, and it says “End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point”. Not sure what this means, but all looks as it is suppose to.Steve

Yes, the “vows button” should link to the “ceremony” timeline, and the other 3 buttons should link to the “reception” timeline. In the ss menu I want it to play the vows (which is the end of the video), then go back to the ss menu. There is only one chapter marker set in the ceremony timeline, and that is where the vows begin. In the main menu,when playing the ceremony, I can scene select to the vows, and when they are done it goes right back to the main menu like I want. Don’t know why it won’t in ss menu.
I don’t have any overrides set. -
Jeff,
Got it figured out. For some reason I was taking the end action pickwhip to the chapter marker instead of taking it to the project window and ss menu. I appreciate your help. I’ve got your book on Encore 2.0, so I was going through that too. I think you need to do one on CS3, hmmm?
Thanks

Ok, I clicked on the chapter 2 marker,(the first chapter I want in ss menu)and set it as the end action for chapter 2, and it still keeps playing through the video. I have no overrides anywhere in the program. Also, why do I have a chapter marker (like a little house) for chapter 2, then I have a poster frame I set for chapter 2 which looks like a square box with the top half shaded, then I clicked to put another chapter marker for #3, and it looks like the poster frame box, not a chapter marker?

I have seen a ton on the internet, but they all seem to say they are for web sites, or building web pages.
