Ok, seems like it should be simple.. .I went to CREATE DISC, clicked on CREATE MENU to make my own menu, set a custom picture for the background. I don't want "My Videos" to be the title. I am unable to edit this text. Oh sure I can move the location, change the color, etc., but how do you EDIT the text? It allows you to edit this text when you change one of their exiting templates, but not under CREATE MENU. Why can't I select it and change "My Videos" to something different? Also, is it possible to get ALL chapters (I have 10) on ONE titles/chapters screen?

Thanks in advance! dinopet

Hi there -

When you're in Menu Designer, you're just making a template. After you've saved the template then applied it to a project, that's when you can change the MY VIDEO etc words.

This may help http://youtu.be/VSOEGMSjx6k

Yes - you can have up to 14 chapter buttons on a page. Just use the "Add Button" feature.

On this page http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/30026.page is a list of tutorials. The ones on menus (near the bottom) - especially Menu Making - might clear a few things up.

Hi jamebond84 -

In Create Menu, you cannot change the words. You can format the text, change alignment etc. but you cannot change the actual words.

In Create Menu, you're making a TEMPLATE only. This template can be modified after it is applied to a project in Menu Preferences - that's where you change "My Videos" to whatever words you want.

I'm not defending PD's menu system. I'm just saying how it is.
