I'm quite new to PD9 so excuse me if this is a basic question..

Assume I want to create a Blu-ray disc with FullHD clips.. The menu it creates by default seems to contain a root menu and one scene-menu.
I don't want a root-menu but only the scene-menu. My disc will be full of different clips and I don't one extra click to get to the scene-menu, I want the clips on the first menu, if you get what I mean.
All templates I've checked out on directors zone, looks almost the same, one root-menu and one scene-menu. Is this a limitation of some sort?
Hints anyone?

EDIT:
I want a single-color background, no animation (doesn't seem possible)? How do I do that? I've tried adding a fullscreen image but it keeps getting transparent and animated with the default background animation.

The Menu system in Power Director is what it is.

PD always makes a Root menu and a Scenes menu.
Except when there is only one chapter and no subtitles.

The Root Menu contains one to three items, depending on your project configuration.

If you have more than one chapter you have a Scenes Menu.
If you have Subtitles you have a Subtitles item. And you selected to make subtitles for a DVD/BluRay.

If you add another video or project in the Create Disk module, you get a Scenes item.

If you do not have more that one chapter and you have not added another Video in Create Disk, you do not have Scenes.
If you do not have subtitles, you do not have Subtitle.

Lots of conditions of how the menu works in PowerDirector.

Can not be done. PD always uses an animated menu.

That's pretty stupid.

Yes, it is.

Members of the forum have asked Cyberlink for a Text menu for the last several versions of PowerDirector.
