Setting the link for the Title button of a remote control


    DVD remote controls have a Title button. You generally set this button to return the viewer to the beginning of the DVD, which is either the link specified for First Play or the main menu of the DVD. Therefore, at any point in the DVD, the viewer can exit the current feature or menu and start over. As with other links, you specify a menu and the button to highlight, or a timeline and starting chapter point.

    Note: Do not confuse the Title button with the Menu button. The Menu button is a more local setting, rather than a DVD-wide setting. The Menu button should take you back to the menu for the current feature, whereas the Title button should return you to the main menu for the DVD. You specify a link for the Menu button in each timeline. (See Setting timeline navigation.)

To set the link for the Title button of a remote control:

  1. Click the Disc tab to activate it.
  2. Note: If you plan to use the pick whip to select the link, you can instead click the Timeline or Menus tab in the Project window. The tab you choose depends on whether the link is to be to a timeline or menu. Then click anywhere in the blank space below the list of assets so that Adobe Encore DVD deselects any selected elements and displays the disc properties in the Properties palette.)

  3. Click the Properties tab to activate it (or choose Window > Properties).
  4. In the Properties palette, select a destination for Title Button by using one of the following methods. Adobe Encore DVD displays the new link in the Properties palette using the format Menu:Button or Timeline:Chapter.
    • Choose a menu or timeline from the Title Button pop-up menu, and then choose the button or chapter point from the submenu that appears. (Choosing Default for a button leaves the default button highlighted on the destination menu.)

    Note: The Title Button pop-up menu lists up to 20 of the most recently used menus and timelines. If the menu or timeline you want is not listed, choose Specify Other from the pop-up menu, as described below.

    • Choose Specify Other from the Title Button pop-up menu. Then open the desired folder, and select the button or chapter point. (To leave the default button unchanged, select the menu name rather than a button.) Click OK.
    • Drag the Title Button pick whip to the destination menu or timeline in the Project tab; or to the chapter point in the timeline or Timelines tab; or to the menu or button in the Menus tab. If you drag to a menu or timeline, rather than to a button or chapter point, Adobe Encore DVD sets the button to Default or the chapter to Chapter1.
