Adding A Button To An Existing Menu Structure

Hello All!

I have an existing DVD menu structure for a music video disc that I am making. There were originally 34 markers added in the video file to become positions for menu buttons in the final product. I have built a 6 page menu structure for this and it works fine on a completed disc.

Now I added a 35th marker (and video) for credits to the end of the existing project and re-rendered it. How do I add another button for the last segment to the page 6 menu? DVD Architect doesn't seem to realize that a 35th segment was added. I can add and format the button, but when I try to link it to the video, the last choice shown is the 34th segment.

I hope this question makes sense. Any help will be appreciated.

DVD Architect is not seeing the 35th marker. When you check under "Action" for the new button, the "Scene/Chapter list only goes up to #34. You can see the marker on the timeline.

In the DVD Architect Project Overview Window, check to see that the last video you added to the project is on the Menu where you intend to have the button. If not, drag it on to the target Menu. The button should be added automatically.

All things considered, the easiest solution may be to delete the whole Scene Selection Menu set, add the new marker and recreate the Scene Selection Menu set.

This is all one large video file, using markers to make Scene/Chapter buttons.

Today, when I opened the project, the 35th marker was not on the timeline, so I added it, and it then showed in the Scene/Chapter list and I was able to add the button. I have no idea what was going on with it yesterday.

So, it seems to have fixed itself. Thanks for the advice.

I had thought of that, and was going to do that today, but when I opened the project, I noticed the 35th marker was no longer present on the timeline. I added it again, and had no problem with adding the new button. I don't know why it would not work yesterday. I did the same thing I tried 10 times yesterday. ?????

Thanks for your assistance.
