I would like to add a link (button) on the main menu which was called Chapters, and which would have a link towards the page of chapters. That is have on the main page a button to select the reading of the film in its entirety, and a button to select the page of the chapters of the film. Thank you
Cordially

I'm not sure about Video Studio.... I'll let someone else answer...

If it turns-out that you can't do it with Video Studio, you can do it with DVD Workshop. (I do it all the time.)

Take a look at
Authoring a DVD

I think you need to then rename the text under the thumbnail taking you into the chapter menu(s) accordingly

But I do not see exactly where you explain it? Your tutorial is very well, but I believe that it is not going to be able to help me. I I would simply like to be able to add a button which would have a link towards the page of chapters, and a button towards the reading of the film in its entirety...
Thank you

In the tutorial I demonstrated the creation of Chapters in just 3 of the 9 Video files namely:
1 - Getting to Know VideoStudio
3 - Adding Transitions
8 - Sharing Your Movie

Now take a look at the main menu as created in the tutorial:

You will see that videos 1 , 3 and 8 appear on the main menu no differently to the other videos.
In fact those 3 thumbnails are links to the scene selection menus.

What you would need to do in your situation is to alter the text below those three thumbnails to reflect the fact that they are scene selections.

In the example above this may be a little difficult as we have squeezed 9 thumbnails onto one Menu.
This does not leave much room for text. You would in this situation be better off creating a main menu with perhaps 3 or 4 thumbnails thus allowing more room for the accompanying text.

Yes all right, but I cannot make it. I had déja thought of making it, by resuming twice the same video, one the name of which was " The film ", and the other "LesChapitres". But however my film weighs more 3.50 GO. Thus it is not practicable...

Hi

Not sure what your problem is.

For each video you insert you will get a thumbnail in the main timeline..

If you insert one video you will have one thumbnail.

You can add chapters to this video clip (click the ‘Add/Edit Chapters’)

As a test select ‘Auto Add Chapters’—select Add at fixed intervals--OK

A number of chapter thumbnails are inserted to timeline-Select OK again

Now press Next

Select ‘Thumbnail Menu’s from the drop-down box (top left)

Click one of the templates from the gallery to select.

The main menu should display in the preview screen.

Below the preview screen select ‘Currently displayed menu’
You can now switch views from main menu to chapter menu.

Select a template from the gallery to set the chapter page.
If you have more thumbnails than the template supports, VS will create extra chapter menu pages.
Scroll the pages using the controls below the preview screen.

Select the Edit Tab to customise the menu’s

Press the Remote Control icon to the right to preview the menu structure.
When you play, the main menu will show first, selecting a thumbnail will open the chapter menu.

Using VS 9 allowed you to disable the main menu, playing the dvd would go to the chapter menu first. But I do not think VS 10 has this option.

Pressing the Project Setting Cogwheel (lower Left) will give you further Navigation options.

Hope this Helps

Trevor
