DVD2: "next chapter" behavior

Just started playing with DVD2. Bought the Vegas+DVD2 upgrade.

I created a simple DVD with two separate MPEG2 files + associated AC3 files on the Main Menu.

Each MPEG2 has about a dozen chapters. When I use the Next button on the remote, I can skip each chapter, as you would expect. However, when I get to last chapter on the first MPEG2 file, pressing Next jumps automatically to the first chapter of my second MPEG2 file.

I see this behavior on my Sony set-top DVD player. Haven't tried other players yet.

Any way to change this behavior in DVDa2 so that it either jumps back to the main menu after skipping past the last chapter or simply have it ignore the Next button when there are no more chapters in the first MPEG2 file?

The files are completely separate, so can't see why I would want the next button to jump to the next title.

Thanks. All ideas, suggestions welcome.

Yup.
1. In the project overview window, double-click your first MPEG2 video
2. In the properties window, set 'Remote Buttons | Title play' to 'Off'

Some DVD players' next button jumps between titles when on the last chapter of a title. Turning the title play operation off disables this behavior.

Thanks. Also just found it in the troubleshooting section of the help file!

I was reading the PDF manual, though, and didn't see it.
