How I Hate Menu Buttons!

    How I Hate Menu Buttons!

    Yes, I'm new to Studio, but I have read their manual cover-to-cover and I've read several of the threads, but still can't get anywhere with buttons.

     I have a short 3 chapter 8-minute video created.  I have a menu at the beginning.  I used the corporate boardroom template.  Not that this is relevant, but I edited the background and text.

    When I go into title edit, I everything looks fine.  At the top of the editor is an icon that says Menu with 5 Buttons.  The 5 buttons are my 3 chapters, previous, and next. 

     When I burn the DVD, the menu is displayed, but simply plays for the 20 seconds I've designated for it and proceeds to playing the movie without any hint of chapters.  There is no option to skip to next chapter, select a specific chapter, etc. 

    Anytime I want to edit that menu, all 5 buttons are show.  However, when I watch the preview only my 3 chapters buttons are shown (even though they are not really buttons yet b/c they cannot be selected/have no destination).  Even the next and previous buttons are missing.

    I've tried editing the buttons and changing from thumbnails to normal to next to previous, but nothing happens.

     Any advice would be appreciated.

    What version are you using.

    In other post those with more knowledge than me suggest not having the previous and next buttons when using the standard menus provided, because they can cause problems. They suggest creating your own instead of the ones provided.
