DVD Studio Pro Menu button pointing to 2 targets- why?

I'm creating a project in DVDSP4 but having an issue that the menu button's functions are not following what I have programmed.

The workflow of the DVD is this:

FirstPlay- Track 1 - to play a short clip and then endjump to Menu 1 where the main menu has the buttons are targets.

If I select any of the buttons on menu1, the simulator goes to the correct location, but if at any time I press the menu button, the DVD starts playing Track 1 for some strange reason.

I made sure that in the main DVD preferrences in DVDSP4, I've made sure that the remote control buttons are set correctly - Menu should go to Menu 1, but it's not. It goes to Track 1. I have no other settings in the workflow that set where the menu jumps to.

I think I've notated everything I've done.

What am I doing wrong in programming the menu button. please help. Thanks.

You've described exactly what's going on.

I think instead of looking for a work around for the resume feature of the menu button on the remote, I'm going to look for another way to play this first video and then jump to the menu. Perhaps put the video as part of a background.

I really appreciate the fix. I may try the script and see how that goes before I change the layout of the DVD.

Thanks for the help.

I've been using a video as first play, with the end jump to main menu, for years. Never had an issue with thousands of discs in circulation. This video is the copyright and threat warning. The viewer lands on the main menu, generally with the Play button highlighted. Resume isn't an issue because very few people stop and start in the middle of the copyright video. You can even set the disc parameters so you cannot stop or pause this first video.

(Currently I have mine set so they can skip to the main menu. We figured that it works like accepting a software license/copyright. You can't get past it accidentally. You either watch it or conciously skip past it. In either case you cannot claim that you were unaware.)
