The objective of this guide is to make improvements to the project we developed in the previous guides by adding advanced menu interactions and playback navigations. These features demonstrate the power and flexibility only a professional DVD-compliant high-end authoring package like Sonic Solutions Scenarist can offer to a DVD author regardless of cost.

We are going to create a Hollywood-quality chapter menu which contains a small number of menu pages to display a group of chapters. The last selected chapter by the viewer is remembered so that the DVD player can highlight the correct chapter each time the chapter menu is displayed. The menu navigation is designed so that the user goes to the next or previous available menu page automatically by simply pressing the up and down arrow keys from the remote control unit. The contents of this DVD contain video angles and multiple audio languages.

The angle menu provides menu items to choose the angle of video and the audio language. The title and root menu remember and highlight the last selected menu item. This guide helps you achieve the following advanced expertise:
