Adobe Encore - Override not working on my first DVD???

[franco]

I burned a DVD-R with a play all button and 6 timelines. Timeline 1 end action is timeline 2. Timeline 2's end action is timeline 3 and so on. I used the override to default back to the menu when any of the individual timelines are selected, but this is not happening.

Instead, my DVD gets to the end of a timeline and freezes. I have played it in WIN DVD and Windows Media player, but it just won't return to the menu and then WIN DVD and Windows Media Player tell me there has been an error. The menu and footage look fine on my PC, apart from the footage freezing when I used the fast forward facility. On my sisters PC the fast action was very jittery, but her DVD playing software is from 1998 and her PC is old.

I am burning onto Verbatim DVD-R discs and I have checked again and again, but cannot see what I might be doing wrong.

Also, I'd like to know if I need to set an end action for the menu if I only have 1 menu??

and do I need to select anything for "menu remote" under the timeline properties if I only have 1 menu???

Check this out to make sure you implemented your override action properly:

Thanks for that. Great site, but it has only confirmed I am doing everything right which leaves me even more confused.

I have just realised that even in the preview prior to burning the override is not working. When I select a particular timeline it seems to do what the end action says by playing the next timeline and is ignoring the override command.

No, correction. It proved I was making a mistake in setting the override under the timeline properties instead of button properties. Thanks for that
