How to have a "static" menu with DVD Workshop

[DigitalGreg]

One gripe I'm having with this program is that I burn a dvd, and i have a "first play" clip, then a menu, then the dvd feature. The menu only stays up for about 5 seconds then the movie starts playing.

How do I make it so that the menu stays up until the user clicks on the play button or a chapter button?

If you look under the menu tab while authoring the menu, DVDWS defaults to a timeout of 20 secs. Just uncheck it. This will let the menu remain on the screen.

Another tip, make sure you rght click on each video you have inserted into the project. The Next Play option defines that after the video is done paying, it goes back to the last menu, or right to the next video.

These are the two things I ALWAYS forget to double-check.

Thank's for the tip. Every time I think I have found them all I discover a new one. There are many features in DVDWS but you have to poke around to find them.

Another thing I don't get-- no tutorials or user guide with the downloadable version? The help files are pretty bare.

Did you download the Extra Content Package at http://www.ulead.com/dws/esd.htm ? There is a User's Guide but it does not cover all the features.
