Main Menu with no Sub Menus - How?

[keith J]

I am trying to create a DVD with the main menu as the only one. In other words, I am currently seeing my video name on the main menu. Then I need to go to its sub menu to see the chapters. I am interested in putting the chapters on the top level. I cannot find instructions in the online help.

I dont think thats an option?

you could split your movie into smaller files as the chapters and it would do it that way?

What version of MovieFactory are you running? In the later releases you can go int othe "Advanced" button in the MENU step, and uncheck the "Title Menu" option -- this should just create a Chapter Menu (as long as you have specified to create menus).

I was just coming to post that same info! I stumbled on it by mistake!!! However, NOW it is taking forever to render the videos to the DVD. In the past it would take ~3-4 hours. Now I get several hours into it and I am under 10% complete. Of course, I reinstalled the whole s/w package so I may have forgotten to flip a bot somewhere. FWIW, I am running 3.5. I am not sure if it is worth upgrading to 4.
THANKS!
