Difficulty creating chapter menu that works correctly

Post by CKNewman »

I hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I’ve been trying to burn a Blu-ray disc consisting of one film with 16 chapters. I can’t advance down a column of chapters by just pressing the down arrow because it skips the next chapter so I have to use the right arrow. Trying to get to other chapters I find I must use all of the arrows on the DVD remote. It also presents the same issue when I try Disc-Preview in Arabesk 7. Has anyone had a similar experience? There doesn’t seem to be any documentation on Arabesk 7, neither release notes nor a manual. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Lou, thank you for your input.

The template that I used has this problem to begin with. I used the red rose template. When using the Assistant, the template itself loaded with alternating chapter buttons flush left and then slightly indented. I did not suspect that this would create a problem so I used the mouse but did not execute a thorough check with the Disc Preview. Michael Heubmer was able to duplicate the problem and said that the mouse will work but a normal remote will not work.

Now my new rule is that I will manually check every template with the Disc Preview!

Also very important - I found that testing with Disc Preview although the chapters may advance going down in a vertical line, they might not go back up in sequence! They really have to be in a perfect vertical line.
