just downloaded Movie Factory and need help

Post by rmsscans »

After hours of trying to get files to import into DVD Factory 2010, I downloaded MF SE 7. I haven't been able to locate a tutorial. I am trying to make a simple menu with an imported image and navigation buttons. I do not want the default gallery menu - but I can't get rid of it. I tried to select the elements and delete them but they will not delete. The image that I imported is behind the menu elements. I finally chose a text menu but, once again, could not delete the text items. At least you could see the background image.

So I moved the elements off the screen and went ahead and burned the disc. When I played it back, the menu came up and when I hit Play, it kept re-playing the menu. It finally started the movie. The first 6 chapters worked but it hung up on the 7th. Also, it looks as though two menus were created (the drop down list under the menu viewer), but I can't delete one. Can anyone tell me what to do? I have until tomorrow to get this project done.

In the event that I can't get this working, I finally decided to use just the video, which is edited to the point that it makes sense without a menu. But I do want chapters. So I created chapters and burned the disc. The video plays but the chapters don't work. Do I have to have a menu to have chapters?
Thanks.

You should be able to disable the "CREATE MENU" option and be able to click on the ADD/EDIT CHAPTERS.
