DVD Architect Highlight Chapter Menu Selection at DVinfo.net

David Jasany · February 7th, 2013, 04:02 PM

After playing a selected chapter from a DVDA menu, is there a way for the chapter text on the main menu to remain highlighted after the chapter is played? The default operation will highlight the first chapter in my menu selection after a chapter is played. I've never liked this operation when playing individual chapters so I thought I would finally look into it. Thanks.

You can change the end action of the video to point to any menu and any option on that menu.

Thanks Edward. I've tried setting the end actions for a menu item but I can't seem to find a way to create the action I described.

After choosing and playing a chapter, I want to return to the menu with the chapter text/button that was just played still highlighted.

I must be missing something so can you give me a little more detail?

Got it! I was overlooking the "menu" choice in destination.

Yes, you have to set both the menu and the item on the menu to be selected. Glad you found it.
