Making a Chapter Menu

Toppler · Post by **Toppler** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:51 am

Hello so i was going to make my first version of my movie and i relized that it has a button to start the movie and it has a menu that shows all the chapters but i can not figure out how to make another button to go to the chapter menu? I have added my chapters in the first step of creating dvd. And then for the template i am doing Thumbnail movies but i can not figure out how to add another menu button to go to the chapter screen instread of starting the movie. Anyknow can help me would be greatly appreciated!

It should be done automatically. Except if you checked out the Menu setting on the Creat Disk first screen.

The first button you get is NOT starting the movie but brings you to the chapters menu. There you get one button per chapters.
Each of the button starts the movie, from the selected chapter on.

Thats what i thought but i mean the menu for all the chapters is there and setup but when i burned the movie there was no button from the main screen to go to that menu to look at the chapters. the only button on the main screen takes me to the movie not the chapter screen

You mean there is nothing down in the bottom centre or bottom right of screen that looks like a double-headed arrow or something similar to that?

Thank you sjj1805 that will come in handy later, but i still dont understand my origianl question. On my main menu i have the beach theme going on with the unbreallas. So i have the title which is fine and under that it has a square button with a picture of my first scene of the movie and when you do preview that will take you to the chapter menu when you click on it. But then the only way to start the movie with outt hat is that little arrow on the bottom of the screen. But here is what i am trying to do. I want to duplicate that square preview button that goes to my chapters screen/menu and make one exactly like it but one that starts the actuall movie. And ontop of that is there a way to add text i could not figure it out so that i can title the buttons and so forth. How do i do that i did not see it in the tuturial that you pasted on here i dont think.

Thank you for the help this is going to make me look good for my office video
