1. Re: video gets sent back to main menu after first chapter
Stan Jones Mar 12, 2010 8:36 AM (in response to computerskillme)I can't zoom in on your images, so while we wait for someone to analyze them, let me ask:
did you have this preview problem before? The "drawing" error sounds video card related. I would burn again (after checking the idea below) to see if this problem is a performance issue on your compute or in encore.
Is there an override set on chapter one? (If so get rid of it.)

2. Re: video gets sent back to main menu after first chapter
computerskillme Mar 12, 2010 8:47 AM (in response to Stan Jones)No, there is no override on chapter one. It says 'not set.' I tried deleting it, but still, same problem.
Would it help if I posted the project file, minus the media?

Stan Jones Mar 12, 2010 9:14 AM (in response to computerskillme)I would wait for somone to post who can review your screen shots. Those can be very helpful.

computerskillme Mar 12, 2010 9:54 AM (in response to Stan Jones)I know that you're trying to be helpful, but please don't write, "wait for someone to see the screen shots" as it marks my discussion "possibly answered". Some people then might pass over my discussion.

5. Re: video gets sent back to main menu after first chapter
Stan Jones Mar 12, 2010 10:13 AM (in response to computerskillme)That's cool that you can set the item back to "not answered." I doubt that "possibly answered" would slow Jeff or Bill or others from looking to see if they can help. But I agree that a "hey, dude. anybody helping?" response would be unwelcome.
The post you're referring to, however, was answering your question regarding posting the project file. I have generally found that helpers here do not want the project file, but the screenshots.
I was able to view them, and I do not see a problem there. But I am not as adept at reading the project flow as Jeff. You highlighted the properties on chapter 1, and that was the likely suspect for me.

computerskillme Mar 12, 2010 10:52 AM (in response to Stan Jones)Since I guess there's a problem viewing the screen shots, the full screen shots can be found at

7. Re: video gets sent back to main menu after first chapter
Bill Hunt Mar 12, 2010 12:27 PM (in response to computerskillme)The Full Project JPEG is too pixelated to really tell much about it, and the linked version has a header error, and will not Open. Can you redo this JPEG, and maybe use a PS JPEG setting of about 9? It would also be helpful to have a closeup of the Timeline with the Chapter Markers.
Now, what are the End Actions for each of those Chapters?
For the Play All, have you looked into a Chapter Playlist? If you create one, with the Chapters in the order that you want, and then set the Chapter Playlist's End Action to return to your Main Menu, that will "override" any Chapter End Actions. NOTE: I am using the term "override" as a verb, and not the noun "Override."
With regards to Overrides, this sounds like there might still be one lurking about. They can be applied in so many places, and it's a bit of work to check out all Buttons, Chapters, Timelines, etc. They can literally be anywhere, and should not be used.
Looking forward to the new screen-caps. Might well be something obvious there.
Last question: how long is your first Chapter?
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - most of us disregard an "answered" icon, or similar and read nearly every thread regardless.

Bill Hunt Mar 12, 2010 12:29 PM (in response to Stan Jones)Stanley,
You highlighted the properties on chapter 1, and that was the likely suspect for me.
That's exactly where I am looking too. The Full Project JPEG is so heavily compressed, that even in Photoshop and on a high-rez monitor, I just can't read most of it.

Does all of your navigation work, as you desire?
Good luck,
