As an update I found a work around to the menu authoring problem. Using the wonderful tool known as Google I found other users with the same problem dating back to version 14. One of the sites found a solution utilizing Imgburn as the burn engine rather then Studio 15. The real trick though seems to be that you have to save the Studio 14-15 file as a Video_TS rather then an Iso. I followed the instructions and tried the DVD on Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba standalone DVD players. In each case it played flawlessly. Apparently Panasonic has trouble with the Iso version of the slideshow but can handle it when the file is in a Video_TS folder.

Thanks mufasaxx for the info. I never took the time to delve into all that you explained. I just trusted that the programmers knew what was needed to created a video dvd. Maybe I was lucky in pressing the right buttons.

I do have a stand alone .iso burning program which I use for other purposes such as burning live cds of linux. But as I recall, it also asks which kind of dvd I want to create.

Very interesting indeed. The default setting in Studio 15 was iso. I did not even realize there was a choice. Only stumbled on to it when I read the Artical. The original program I had been using for years never had an option and must have been set to create a video ts folder on the burn. the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Anyway I think I am ok now. I have been dealing with Pinnacal support and not once did they ever suggest switching away from iso. Oh well all is well that end well.

Glad you got it fixed up. Yeah, those support people can be trying at times.

As a followup I have been working with Avid regarding my problem. We finally have a solution. The CSR gave me a link to a zip file to download. The file contains a folder that is used in version 12. They had me rename the v15 equivalent folder and then replace it with the downloaded one. When I went back into the program and built the slide show with motion menus and burned it on to a DVD-R disk I was now able to play it on the Pansonic. Players. This coincides to the info I located on the web. Avid changed something from version 12 and carried it to version 14 and 15. I think they know what is wrong but for some reason never rectified it. I asked them about that but they never responded. Anyway I will keep the version 12 folder and go my merry way. I believe that the program is now fully functional for my needs.
