Understanding the types of links


    You can set links and defaults for the disc or project itself, as well as for each menu, button, and timeline. These links determine what happens after the following events:

    • The viewer inserts the DVD into the player (called first play).
    • The viewer activates a button on a menu (called link).
    • A timeline finishes playing (called end action).
    • The viewer doesn't make a menu selection (called end action).
    • The viewer pushes the title or menu buttons on the remote control (called title button or menu remote, respectively).

    In addition, each link has an optional setting called override, which specifies a new end action for the link. (See Understanding end action overrides.)
