TMPGEnc DVD Author - question on using multiple tracks

[MJDore]

I am trying to put a short clip in as one track so that it will play upon loading the DVD. I put the main movie in as another track. Question....how can I remove the Intro track from the menu? I don't want to see it on the menu as it's just an intro. I am using the option to "play first track" so that it properly plays. Now how can I remove that stinking button on the menu????

Go to the menu edit screen and click on the button you don't want. Shrink it as small as it will go by holding the mouse button on the edge of the button. Finally drag it to a corner as far as it will go. It will still be there but on you tv screen it will be in the over scan area and you will not see it.

You got to somehow specify to play the first track first before playing the menu. To do this, while you're in the 'Create Menu" screen, on the upper right corner, just below the options button, click on the drop down menu and select "Play only first rack". With that option selected, the first track would be played first, then the menu. Maybe you should not link the first track to the menu at all.

Thanks, hudsonf. It worked perfectly. I appreciate your help.

This is driving me nuts... obviously you must "Create new theme" in order to be able to move the icons/tracks... so WHICH layouts do I chose in order to "hide" track#1?
The reason I ask is that they all seem to create an entirely NEW page for this intro track#1, and you can't exactly hide an entire page...

I use the layouts that match the number of tracks and menus that I have. If you shrink the link to the track you don't want and drag it to the over scan area you won't see it on your tv.
