I've just started to use Encore and have a main menu, with a sub menu with six chapter points.
On the timeline I have just one long clip and I've linked each chapter point on the timeline, to the corresponding chapter point on the sub menu.
When I preview the sub menu I can select each chapter point and it will play OK.
What I am trying to do is to select chapter one and whilst it's playing, use the next arrow, (next to Exit Here) in the preview window, to go to the next chapter point but it continues to play chapter one and doesn't move on. (I'm thinking that someone watching the DVD might play Chapter One and then decide to move on to another chapter point without going through the sub menu.)
Is there a link I'm missing somewhere?
Any help gratefully received!

Hi Peter,
From how you have described it, it should work. Have you any "overrides" set for the menu buttons or "end action" for the chapters? If you have I would delete them and see if that works. I am using and describing CS3. What is your "end action" for the timeline?
Glyn.
Thanks for the reply Glyn. I've checked the menus and all the chapter points and they don't have any overrides. The end action for the timeline is return to sub menu.

Hi Peter,
All looks OK and I would expect it to work. I have had things work in preview but not once the DVD is built so it might be worth trying the opposite and building the DVD on your hard drive and playing it from there and seeing how it behaves - it might just work!

Thanks again for replying Glyn.
The project I am using in Encore is Blu Ray. I thought I might try one in SD and see if that works. Perhaps the fast forward in preview can't handle the blu ray picture. I'll let you know.
I did another project in blu ray and found that when I pressed the "next chapter" in the preview window, the first frame came up momentarily but then disappeared and it continued playing the same chapter.

I've done some testing and found that the problem with moving to the next chapter point in preview only occurs in a blu ray project. SD works OK.
Is anyone else experiencing this in a blu ray project.
I burnt the blu ray project to disc and it works Ok, you can forward to another chapter point.
