DVD Studio Pro 4 Problem

[ramsaur]

So I have everything ready and it's logged and everything is A.O.K. but it's not burning all the menus and other videos like features I set up. After I hit burn, it burns, then when I put it in my dvd player to check it, it opens up and starts the movie as if I only wanted to burn the movie it self. The first play is set to the main menu. I go to the end of the film and it just starts the film over. The menus I made and other videos as special features are not on there. What am I doing wrong in DVD Studio before I hit burn to make it burn the whole DVD?

Check everything in the simulator.

Check what your "First Play" is, and check your connections to make sure things are going where they are supposed to be.

I simulated it and the log turned out fine. The first play is set on the Main Menu. I even un-did it and set the main menu to first play again and still doing the same thing. This is kind of my first time using DVD Studio. Last time I used it I just messed around learned how to make DVD's and it worked out all fine, but now something is wrong, and everything is set. I've checked every video and menu and everything else and still the same result. I might have to do some research and see what's up.

edit: I just read my first post and there are a few mistakes that didn't need to be said so please look at my first post and read it again.

Read lots of good info about DVDSP here - http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/fcp_homepage_index.html#dvd

You say the log turned out fine, but when you use the simulator, does it first play the correct menu? Is it performing correctly and giving you access to your "other videos like features"? I want to be clear on this since you say it's your first time using the software.

You could try to do a build (as opposed to a burn) and then take the _TS folder it creates and drop it onto the DVD player application. Be sure to play from beginning, and not resume from last time played. See if it works there.
