Re: how to create a first play in the DVD?

SKMAMI,

If you have, let's say, 2 timelines in an Encore project, Encore will label the first timeline you create as "Title 2" and the last one as "Title 1". This creates a problem if your first timeline you created was the one you wanted to have as first play... because now it is labelled as "title 2". Plan your project so that the timeline you want to auto-play is the last timeline you actually create in Encore. This is a known Encore "problem" and you can read about it on Adobe's forum.

Also note: If you burn a DVD-RW to test your project, the auto first-play may not play without you pushing the play button on your remote. Nonetheless, when you actually burn to a DVD-R, the DVD=R may autoplay just fine. This is precisely the case for me, burning TDKs on a Pioneer A04 and testing on a JVC XVS500 deck.

Good luck, Douglas Dailey
