I'm in the middle of a project using Premiere and then Encore for the first time to author and compile a DVD. I went crazy trying to figure out what I had done wrong, because when I tried playing the DVD in my Yamaha player, the minute it got to the menus it wouldn't allow me to select anything or do anything - however all the buttons and menus and chapter selection worked properly during the preview.
I was discussing it with a colleague who asked me to bring her the DVD to test as she has several different players at home - and it worked perfectly in all of hers. In the past I had authored my DVD's using Pinnacle Studio in Windows and never ran across this problem. I even tried a variety of brands in DVD mediat that I had available. I'm concerned that I may send the completed DVD to the several people who have purchased it and someone will have issues playing it as well.
Are there any tips or hints that someone can give me on how to make it more compatible? The format is there is a firstrun short slideshow, then it goes to the main menu which allows you to either play through the DVD in it's entirely or go to the chapter selection sub-menus.
Thank you for any possible suggestions.
