Hello,

We like to use our names in our posts as you see by glancing at this post from me, this helps us maintain our atmosphere of the "friendliest place on the web". Also if you fill in your profile information by going to the "User Control Panel" and fill in what editor you are using and what operating system and what add on software etc. then when there is a question being asked... we can give you an answer that is correct for the equipment you are using. Other wise we will be guessing and perhaps give you the wrong answers by mistake.

When using Arabesk, go to Control then click on Trailer + Menu. This directs the software to play the trailer ( the first film ) automatically when the DVD is loaded in the player and then go to the "Main Menu" where you can select which film you wish to play next.

However in your question you mentioned "Chapter Menu". This is a different animal all together. The main "Menu" is where you add each "Film" and the action button must be set to "Start Movie" When you click on an icon for the second film it will then play it to the end and revert back to the main Menu again.

If you wish to further divide you films into "Chapters" .....each film may have up to 99 chapters and there can be a second menu which will have control over which chapter your playback will go to.
If you wish to build the separate Chapter menu, when you place an icon in the main menu to lead to it ( the chapter menu.....the action button must be set to "Go to Chapter Menu".

So, in answer to your question, it depends on whether or not you want a main menu with a few films to be available to playback after the player is finished with the "Trailer" or first film and then select a film from the main menu to play next?

Or do you actually mean a separate Chapter menu located after the main menu? I hope this will be of some help to you. Please ask more questions as we are all anxious to help.
