Bizarre glitch on DVD burned in DVDA 2

I use DVDA 2.

I created a DVD, and successfully burned maybe 50 copies over the months. No problems.

However, recently I got an order for more DVDs. Burned them, but when testing them, noticed a bizarre glitch:

On the opening menu screen, all text has vanished. This text includes the name of the video, as well as three links leading to submenus. However, the text highlighting remains and one can still (blindly) navigate to the submenus as usual. Submenu text has NOT disappeared from the DVD.

When viewing a preview of the video in DVDA 2, the text appears as normal. It's there, so why ISN'T it there on the burned DVD? What could have happened between the last time I burned a good DVD, and this time?

Any help is much appreciated.

Not that this answers this particular situation, but ... are you repreparing each time you burn? If you haven't deleted the VIDEO_TS folder that DVDA creates then there is no need to do the prepare step again. I'll make a backup copy of the VIDEO_TS folder and then always burn from this, often using Nero instead of DVDA because it has a 'verify disc' function.

It seems that the only way something could have changed is if you did the prepare again. Of course, it shouldn't have changed anyway. Hmmmmm.

Well, I'd imagine you either stored your project rendered to DVD on a hard drive, disc, or other storage media, or you saved your project files and re-rendered each time you needed/wanted a new copy.

If your stored DVD changed -- file(s) became corrupted etc. -- then it'd just be a matter of copying them from a good, burned disc.

If your project files changed -- again corruption etc. -- might want to work off a good, burned disc if you don't have a backup of your project files.

About the only other thing I could think of -- & it's just a guess -- is if you're re-rendering the DVD each time, & if you changed the font on your system that you used, or accidentally changed the colors to 100% transparency.
