Quote: Thanks to a lot of forum help I have successfully created and burned a DVD. My problem is that the buttons don't highlight on screen when I move to them. It seems to work in the preview but not from the DVD player on the TV. I am only using text for buttons and I have enabled text highlighting. Do I need to choose a button icon as well?

probably.

If you can make a contrasting color for the links and buttons. I.E Red on Yellow background or image.

Some DVD players do not show the links clearly. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

I am using yellow on dark blue.

I added a "ball" to designate the button and still nothing shows on the TV. I have to blindly navigate between the two videos. I now have 7 discs that don't work. Still trying. Keep thinking - I appreciate your efforts.

I just tried one of the discs in a different dvd player and it works perfectly. The original player is old but it plays and navigates through other DVDs just fine. The disc worked in a player that is part of a TV/DVD combo. My new question is whether there is a setting when I burn the DVD that would make it more readable in an older player.

Hi, Puzzled2!

Some older DVD players tend to act a bit "funny" when it comes to playing home-made DVDs on them, but the fact that you got your disc to play correctly on another player(probably newer, thus of a later generation of such players) means that something's working correctly in the making of the DVD, at least. As for "a setting when burning a disc to make it more readable in an older player", I don't think there is such a setting. How well the disc plays in the older player depends entirely on the older player itself.

Cheers!

In Addition to what Neil.F.1955 said, you can try burning your DVD at a much lower burn speed.

You can find the Burn Speed adjustment in PD's create disk final window on the Disk Options.

Sorry, I am not following you. I am not finding the disk options area or any area where I can set a disk speed. I did find an area where I can set the recording speed. Is this the same and if so what would be a good speed to try?

If you click on Carl's download, you'll see it says "recording speed". Slower is better. It takes longer, though, so once you find a speed that works for your older DVD player, just keep increasing the "recording" (i.e., burn) speed until it no longer produces a usable DVD. Regards,

Thank you. Sometimes I miss the obvious. I clicked everywhere except on the word "download". Now I got it.
