I have successfully created a production and defined 34 chapters (and names), but when I proceed to the step of creating the menu for my DVD the menu only lists the chapters as "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc. all the way to Chapter 34. I expected the chapter names from the production to be carried forward into the DVD burning stage, but apparently not. How can I edit the text for the chapter names in the DVD menu? I have looked everywhere but cannot find this topic.
Thanks,
Editing DVD Menu chapter names

Re: Editing DVD Menu chapter names
In the menu edit screen (the second one after entering the create disc module) - RIGHT click over the chapter name and from the pop-out choose "Edit"

Re: Editing DVD Menu chapter names
Your experience also highlights the fact that, for many of us 'old time' users, making chapters during the editing process is risky. We prefer to do the editing in the editing process, and see the making of chapters as part of the authoring process, which is part of the burning process. So essentially we don't make chapters while editing, much less trying to name the chapters. The names just don't stick. Better to leave the whole thing to the end, when you know editing is done and you are in a better position to know exactly where you want chapters to go and what to call them. And have the names remembered!
