About to give up on Pinnacle
This shouldn't be too hard...
I have 37 separate AVI files of about 3 minutes each. I want to create a simple menu with each AVI as a chapter. Pinnacle works fine, except when it is writing the final ISO file, I get the dreaded Compiling failed, please try again. Is there a simple program I can use to create a simple menu with an entry for 37 chapters? p.s. I have previously created several hundred different movies with Pinnacle (ver. 12) |

Re: About to give up on Pinnacle
I assume that your DVD menu is widescreen?
If so, and you have a button for each chapter, I think that you will need a three-page menu for 37 chapters - you are exceeding the limit on the number of buttons on a single menu page. For DVD, this limit is 36 buttons for 4:3 menus, but is reduced to 18 for 16:9 menus |

I'm using one of the standard Pinnacle menus that has 6 buttons to a page This means there is a 7 page menu with 6 buttons on the first 6 pages, then one button on page 7 I will combine the last 2 chapters and see if it will compile with just 36 chapters on 6 pages |

So my original question remains: Is there some simple shareware program that I can throw together to have menu with 37 chapters? The menu can be several pages long |

Re: About to give up on Pinnacle
Well, as usual, many problems in Pinnacle are solved by removing and then re-installing the program
