When I have made the menu and the music to go with it I create the dvd. The problem that I have is when I put in the dvd it will start in 5 seconds so I can't access the menu and chapters. What do I need to do to get it to run longer and not start unless I want it to.

I get the same, it starts just as the intro finishes (the cute multi-media display on the right) If you can't solve the problem - Change the problem

Can I keep it from starting automatically at all? When you watch a movie the menu on it won't start until you push play (at least it never has for me).

On mine the preferences (bottom center spanner icon)
the menu motion is settable from 10 secs. to 99 secs.

Set it to 99

No matter what I set it on it only runs for 5 seconds. I must be doing something wrong. I go through all of th steps and go into create disc mode. I go down to the preference section right next to the create disc without a menu box. I go into menu and put 99 seconds in the box. I go up to preview and it only goes for 5 seconds and that is what it does on the finished products. Am I missing something else???

When I set it to 99 it did run for over a minute in the preview, but I did not create a DVD

Ok , I just went back to PD and tested again.
By the way I have PD version 6.00.1604a What do you have?

Go into Create Disc.

Click on the Spanner Icon at the foot of the page

In Create Disc Preferences - Menu
Uncheck Enable Video Thumbnail and then click OK
Goto Preview
There should be no animated preview (this might be what you want)

Go back to Author
Click again on the Spanner

In Create Disc Preferences - Menu
Check Enable Video Thumbnail and
Set the time user-defined menyu to 40 seconds
and then click OK
Goto Preview

It should run the animated menu for 40 seconds and then re-cycle

In the Actual DVD when burned I bet it runs for 40 secs and then runs the Fisrst Chapter of your video

Please check the patch updates. 1731b corrected this matter. The latest patch is going through a re-build so you need to look again in a few days time.

I have 6.00.2120a
What you did does not work for me. I guess I will wait for the patch.
