The work around I have used is to add the completed videos you want on the DVD into another project. eg 3 separate videos back to back on the time line (easiest in storyboard view).
Go to chapter room and use the option of auto chapter at start of each clip.
You now have 3 chapters at the start of each video.
In the create disc module you can't get rid of the chapter menu but now it has a chapter or link to the start of each video. I change the "play" to something like "play all" and then change the "chapter" button to "select one" or the likes.
You must remember PD is not a DVD authoring programme and hence the authoring side of things is not too flexible.
