question about creating menu in TMPGEnc DVD author

[namsilat]

I was trying to create a series of tracks on the DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author. Under the menu option, I selected for track to go to next track after this track is finished. But when it finishes the final track, it just "stops". I like it to go back to the main track menu instead. Where in the options should I set this?

The option below where you set the action to take after each track, there is a dropdown box with "Action to take after all tracks have been played" or something like that. Set this to "Display Main Menu" or wherever you want it to go.

Under Create Menu, then Menu Display Setting, then Genera tab, on the second half of the screen, it has two options, one says "firstplay action", the second says "action to take after each track has been played". There is no other option there where I can set option for after all tracks have been played. I am using version 1.6.

Take a look at the bottom half of this image



and choose the option most appropriate to you.

Well that's the problem. I read the exact same information you posted in the help file, but under the actual menu, the second option is not "after ALL track", but "after EACH track". I tried treating that option as "after all track" and set it to "display main menu", but after each track is played it goes back to the main menu, when I only want that option for the final track. I must be missing something in the program.

Would it be due to the theme I picked for the menu? I don't think the menu options should be different pending on the theme selected.

I just assumed it was a typo in the GUI

[namsilat]

yeah, I thought it was a typo too. Something is screwed up in this program. It says if "play next track" option is selected for "action to take after each track", after finishing each track, it will go to the next track, if it's the final track, it will go to the main menu. Unfortunately, the DVD just "stalls" after finishing the final track, not going back to main menu.

[jimmalenko]

Do you have both a track AND main menu in your menu set up ?

[namsilat]

yup. but that option doesn't seem to be affected by what's on the top half part of the page.

Try selecting the option NO, I will create chapters manually. Then you can put the set return where ever you want. I found that to be the most successful.
