Look in DVD Preferences and change your auto run setting.
PD does NOT return to menu on each chapter.

Dafydd

Thank you for the reply. I am willing to purchase version 7 do you know if it is capable of doing this?

I like to put multiple short movies on a dvd but after each one is watched, I like it to return to the menu, if possible.

Thanks

Power Director 7 does not have a "return to menu" capability.

Dafydd stated "Look in DVD Preferences and change your auto run setting". Where are the DVD settings exactly? All I can find are "Create Disc preferences" which include 'Enable video thumbnail' and 'Auto Menu Timeout'. I can't seem to find the DVD preferences which include the 'Auto run' settings?

Help anyone?

Apologies, don't know why I was considered anonymous as I signed up previously. I'll just repeat the question for reference.

I just previewed this message and I still don't see my name previewed... hmmm. There is a 'logout' option available so I am assuming that I am logged in.

That's what you want.

If the “Auto menu time-out” checkbox is unchecked, the menu will stay on the screen until you choose one of the options, i.e. Play or Chapters (or Sub-titles if you are using them).

If the “Auto menu time-out” checkbox is checked, then the menu will remain on screen for the number of seconds you entered into the “User-defined motion menu duration” (which must be between 15 and 99 seconds – the default is 15 seconds) and will then start to play Chapter 1, unless you choose one of the options before that time limit is reached.
