Return to button in menu

I was wondering if there's any way to make DVD Architect do this.

I'm used to the way DVD Workshop 2 returns to the last button you pushed when you hit menu on your DVD player's remote. This is nice since you know exactly where you were in the menu.

In Architect, I can only get it return to the same menu page that you were last on, but it always goes to the first button, instead of the last button you actually selected on that page.

Any way to do this?

Thanks.

Double-click to select the video and, in the Media Properties, go to the End Action page and set the Destination Button to the button on the menu page you want it to land on.

For the End Action method, you go to the End Action page for that media item, change the Destination from "Most Recent Menu" to the specific menu you want to return to. Then you change Destination Button to the button you want to have selected. Until you change the Destination setting, Destination Button will not be available.

But it's not going to work for the situation you cited:

I'm used to the way DVD Workshop 2 returns to the last button you pushed when you hit menu on your DVD player's remote.

End Actions are not activated until the end of the media item is reached. If you press the Menu button, the end of the media item isn't reached, and that end action is never read. So whatever it says to do...isn't done.

I don't know what DVD Workshop, is doing, if anything, to make the disc behave the way you describe.

It may be able to be achived in DVD Architect using scripting. Maybe a script can be created that remembers what button you left and another that highlights the next button when you get back. Sorry, haven't done enough scripting to know if it can be done or how it would be.

Yeah, it's OK, it's not a big deal for me. But thanks anyway.

I'm not sure what DVD Workshop 2 does to make it possible with chapters, it's just how it works by default.

The method you guys described would work with separate titles to do what I described, but not with chapters.
