3. Even if Yes to both, I'm not surprised you're having difficulties. A proper step-by-step tutorial, with practical examples, would help me a lot, but has never been forthcoming from Magix.
4. Another rich resource is our old UK forum at http://support2.magix.net/boards/magix/index.php?showforum=113
Although Magix shut it down, happily they ensured that you can still search its archives. These include many posts about DVD menu setup (and quite a few bugs and design flaws). For example, a search on authoring listed 112 posts, of which a fair number could be useful reading for you.
6. Or you could just tackle a simple menu or two and ask very specific questions here, providing full details of the steps you're taking and what you see. For a start, you might say what MEP version you're using!
Terry, as we say in Missouri "The Show Me State", you showed me and you were "spot on". I appreciate your help, video gave me the exact help I needed for creating and editing video menus before burning at http://www.aaproductions.net/mep/tips/tutes.htm. The other site has deleted all videos.
