Blu-ray "Next" Button Issue Workaround Found

OK,

I have a workaround that works for the issue discussed here and here and here.



It's not a solution, but it will allow users of DVDA to create compliant Blu-ray discs that they don't have to be embarrassed to sell to clients.

1. Create scene selection menu the normal way.

2. For each page of the scene selection menu ctrl click on each thumbnail and text and choose text only so the thumbnails disappear leaving only the text as a link to each chapter.

3. Delete the page title and the page navigation arrows so that only the text links are present.

4. Select them all and cut and paste them onto the Top Menu page. That will eliminate the scene selection page they came from.

5. Do that for each scene selection page and arrange them the way you like.

6. The result is a Top Menu page with lists of links to the scenes (chapters). ONE PAGE (Top Menu) for everything.

Plays normally in all players including the Panasonic. I tested it with two sets of 13 links and it worked flawlessly.

John, review your forum entry in the DVD-A forum and scroll down to my reply. I appreciate that your workaround achieves a compatibility with many set-top players- but does NOT touch the underlying causes of your frustration with this issue. I agree that getting burned Blu-ray disc to market is difficult because of this issue and others.
But I have been successful for over two years and each year gets better, so hang-in there.
