    End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point

      I will be referring to this video:

       

      http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-encore-cs4/creating-an-event-dvd/

       

       

      I followed this exactly, except for the slide show (and I made a DVD instead of flash), but when I checked the project, I get the error message "End action will not execute because of end action on the final chapter point".
       
      I don't understand.  I did not change any end points except for the one specified in this tutorial.  (About the Max footage for the very beginning, before the menu).  If anything was added, it was Adobe's doing.
       
      I do notice that in 00:04 in the tutorial, there's a downward arrow on the very end of the timeline.  My timeline does not have this.  How was this done?
       
      In the Encore software, after the timeline is loaded, there is no arrow at the very end.  Mine doesn't have that either.
       
      I'm finding Adobe/Encore's way of making menus rather difficult.  With Pinnacle Studios (at least through 8-12), making menus was easy, and it set up the chapters for you.  Why can't there be an automated menu feature in Encore?

       

       

      Anyway, here's my project:

       

      Main time line has 9 chapters. When clicking on their chapter points, all say End Action: not set.

       

      When I click on the white bar above the lite purple footage of the time line, where the chapter point's bottom rest, it says, End Action: Not Set AND Menu Remote: Return to Last Menu.

       

      All 9 chapter points are white.

       

      In the flowcart, there is the DVD icon --> my few seconds opening credits --> menu that has a Play All and Scene Selection button

       

      Play All goes to first chapter of video

      Scene Selection (submenu #1) goes to 6 scenes, a next, previous, main menu.  All seem to be linked properly.

      Scene Selection for scenes 7-9 are in the #2 submenu.  Has a previous button and a main menu button.   All seem to be linked properly.

       

      Can anyone offer any advice?  Help?  I need to make this DVD and two others by the end of the week!

       

      If you need more information, please let me know that too.
