I made a movie with 3 chapters, then I select the second scene...
the movie start exactly on second scene but doesn't stop at the end of this scene, it´s continue playing to the next chapters until the end of movie.

What do I doing wrong on my ( room chapters ) ?

This FINALLY cleared up a very frustrating mystery for me. Would STRONGLY suggest that some kind of appropriate notation on this be incorporated into the programs prompt and help text to save others from time-wasting annoyance. Of course, an enhancement that would permit chapter markers to dictate the desired DVD return would be the ultimate fix. Your chapter set-up function is VERY well thought out, bu I have older software from other manufacturers that could incorporate chapter markers in burning on a one-step basis.

Hi, Zoner1! Chapters are really only there to cut a long-ish video down into digestible "bite-size" portions! I've upgraded from PD7 to PD8 about a year ago and one of the first things I noticed was that I could bypass the editing stage and go straight to the create DVD stage and add clips(that might be of, say, 30-minute length) and, if I desired, add chapters to them! Effectively sub-chapters, if you like!(I could set chapters manually at points where I wanted them, or automatically in two options: chapters spaced evenly or a given number of chapters) The video would still be 30 minutes in length but the option I was then given was: 1 - start from menu and play all items sequentially, 2 - Start from first title then play all sequentially, and 3 - play the selected title only. The last option would return to menu after playing each title. This wasn't a feature of PD7 but now, with PD8 I have made good use of the feature, especially when each video is unrelated to the previous one(a video scrap-book, maybe!).
Cheers for now!

I'm using 13, and discovered that as well after my initial post. Also found references to the fact that return to menu only works when you import separate PROJECTS, rather than rendered videos or projects with chapter markers into the DVD setup. Not a one step effort, but not a particularly onerous one either.

Thank you for your input.
