MENU Does not appear. Video begins playing

Post by glswank »

Forgive me if this is very basic but I must be missing something that is very important no matter how simple. DWS 2.0

I have a very simple project that is suppose to play two videos.
I loaded both videos into the library.
One of the videos is only 28 seconds and I want to use it as a button which will then play the MAIN_Video when pushed.

On the menu I created two buttons. Button #1 is the actual 28 second Motioin Menu video that loops while waiting for an action.

Button #2 is just a simple arrow button which is suppose to also play the MAIN_Video when pushed.

I dragged the MAIN_Video from the Library to the First Play title and the other video remains in the library (being used for Button #1)

For both buttons I then dragged the First Play video into the Button Playlist and it shows up there as MENU. I double click on the MENU and it shows either button 1 or button 2. One of the button is set to AutoActivate the other is not.

That's the set up - now for the two problems I am having.

ONE - After I burn the DVD and open it with my DVD Viewer - The Main_Video (First Play) starts to play right away and I do not see the MENU.

TWO - If I stop the movie in my viewer and select "title menu" the MENU then shows up. BUT - If I click on either of the buttons it does not Play the MAIN_Video (First Play)

There is something very basic here that I am missing. Daaahhh...!

The problem was having the Main_Video file in "First Play" I removed the First Play file and simply added the video to the Video List and then dragged directly onto whatever button I wanted and VOILA...!

Hope this helps someone else at the "newbie" level (grins)
