Inserting new media into a DVD template

Is there a way to insert new media into a previously created custom DVD template complete with menu? My specific problem is that I often spend a great deal of time making the menus look pretty, and then when I need to reedit the footage and slide it back into the dvd project I have to recreate all the chapter buttons. I tried to slide it in and use the old buttons but it says broken link. There must be a more efficient way of doing this.

Have you tried keeping the video name the same for your edited footage -- it's been a long while but I think DVDA just uses the new vid on project load if I remember correctly.

You can save/load chapter points for the vid, but AFAIK chapt. menu buttons refer to a set time rather than the chapter number you set it to. If your editing includes changing chapter points you *might* have to edit/repair links.

Geez. don't I feel stupid. Your suggestion is simply the most simple and efficient way of achieving what I wanted to achieve. Thanks!
