All broken links should be identified in the project overview screen. Just delete those items OR define where they are supposed to point.

thanks jetdv. here is my problem. i rendered a set of music vidz (18 to be exact), rendered with transitions as mpg-2. downloaded tutorial from www.wideopenwest.com/~wvg/dvd-a%201.htm
opened dvd2a and followed directions from tutorial. created menu, sub menu with scene selections as per tutorial. created page 1, 2, 3 with 7 buttons on each page, page 3 has 4 buttons which all represent music vidz. i then end up with broken links on each page, and cant figure out how to link one music vid button to the other. i tried looking through the button properties for a link beetween video 1 to video 2 and so forth, but there is none, all i see is : comand: link (which i set as link) destination : music vidz (thats what i named my menu) page 1, most rescent menu, parent menu, next page , previous page, music vidz, music vidz page 1, music vidz page 2, music vidz page 3. and by the way, this is all under my button properties, i pretty much figured out how to set the properties from page 1 to link to page 2 and then to page 3, which is set as: for the arrow that leads to page 2, destination is set at next page, for the arrow that points up, is set at parent menu, and the arrow that leads to page 3, is set also to next page, with also on every page , the up pointing arrow, leading to parent menu.
funny thing however, when i go to preview with these setting, it always takes me to page 2......meaning if i click on the arrow that will take me to page 1, it will take me to page 1 fo 2 seconds, then bring me back to page 2, same goes with page 3, it always brings me to page 2. if i click the up arrow however, it stays in the parent menu.

can you help?

thanks anybody

Sounds to me like you've got a problem with either menu timeout or menu duration. Normally once you go somewhere in a DVD you stay there until you reach the end of the thing. In the case of a menu unless it has motion it's normally got a duration of zero.

You might have to post the DAR file somewhere we can all see it to load it and try to diagnose the problem.

You upload the file to some internet space and then post a link. If you prefer, just e-mail it to me and I should be able to take a look at it before the end of the day. You can find all my contact information here
