And jrazz for hastling it with me too. Thanks!!
OK:
1] 28 Scenes in a "Scene Selection" Menu
2] DVDA suggests too many for a single Scene Page, of course, and use 18 tops for a 16x9
3] I insert new page and split-off 14 and paste into page 2 (BTW this is still far far too many - I will redesign this anyway)
4] I then get told, during "Prepare", by DVDA, I have an "orphaned-page" - page 2.
5] OK, I need to make a link . . . . er . . . ?
After searching help files on links and scene selection and scratching head and futzing about I SKYPE my chums and Tom suggests I insert a button on Page1 and make the links - too obvious! Of course it works.
OK, I came away with 2 observations:
A] Auto Insert: Why didn't DVDA, by default MAKE an automatic link from Page1 to Page2 for me? At least, when it says "orphan" why not then go ahead and suggest I insert a link. But this way I was left kinda dangling.
B] Right Click Insert: Working in DVDA which in a sense, IMHO, IS a graphic design environment allow for a Right-Click Insert Link option? There are "other" insert options, I think this would be useful, as I am already primed AS a working graphically.
Look, these are my reactions/thoughts on what is an AMAZING piece of software. So often DVDA just does what I'd expect it to do (Maybe there's a clue here? Managing my expectations?), and in the simplest of ways too. Added to which, I also like the user friendly responses it gave when it informed me I HAD an orphaned page. Terrific!
I wanted to air my A] and B] above to possibly get your thoughts on whether this would be something that SONY might consider or think viable? - That, and thanking Tom too!
Grazie
