When I burn out my film to dvd the menu is missing the rollover buttons for two of every 3 chapters on each page.* they cant be seen but do work ' I have checked the file and it is ok. It previews fine but wont come out in the final product. Man............I really need some help on this if anyone has any ideas

By default one of the buttons is in the "Selected" state, the remaining buttons are in the "Normal" state and I suspect that the highlight color of the normal state of the subpicture is the same color as your background. Are you using Premiere to author the menus and did you replace the backgroundd?
Did you preview the menus in Premiere?

Mate, thanks so much for replying. To answer your question, the highlighted button is white. I have replaced the background, but it is a dark grey blue in colour. I just checked the file and 2 of the scene highlights colours were slightly blue white and not true white. Perhaps that could of been it. Not sure. Hope you can shed some light on it for me. Again, many thanks for your time.

Did you preview the DVD menu (while in Premiere) to a TV?
You cannot change the subpicture colors in Premiere, so you must either use the default background or one the will contrast with the Selected state subpicture.
Or use Encore.

No, I cannot view from premiere to a tv. I originally went into photoshop and manipulated one of the exisitng menus................bad idea huh? Yes I did change the colours. I looked at a video tut here on authoring and have followed how to use the exisitng menus. All I changed was the font and BG. The colour of the font is white and is clearly seen. One thing I have now found is that when I go to encode the file I get an error message. Same problem I had days ago. I found a transition that had repeated frames and fixed it. That sorted that problem fine . But now Im back to getting the same error after putting in the new menu. I did the encoded twice this morning and it stopped at differant times. Any idea on this one? I have to say thanks Mike for your help. This has been a huge project. Cheers
