Is this possible, and how would I do it?
Sorry if I don't know the correct technical words, but here goes.
Setting the Scene- this is what I have just now
Menu 1 (First Play) It contains a text similar to Copying of this DVD is not allowed etc. etc.
It is timed to stay on the screen for some seconds then it links to Menu 2
Menu 2 is the main menu. From here viewers can select further menus and videos etc.
All works correctly.
Except.............. If I use the remote controller on a DVD player and press "MENU" it (of course) goes back to the first play menu.
Is there a way I can have Menu 1 play on the first loading of the DVD......... but when a viewer uses the remote to go to "MENU" then it will select Menu2 - the main menu?
Like what I now have as menu 1 will play the timed sequence then when it jumps to Menu 2 - Menu 2 will act as a first play menu?
Did I explain that in an understandable fashion..... or did I just confuse you???

I've used "first play" videos in most of my DVDs without any problem. The difference is that you used a "menu" as your first play which is why the remote returns to it when you choose "menu." To avoid this, in your NLE make a video of the warning you want to display and make it the length you want it to remain on screen. Then in DVDit select it as your "first play video".
