Scenarist creates the first subpicture layer for the still scene page0-t-scn. The DVD specifications allow the creation of up to 32 subpicture layers. The default language for this subpicture layer is "Not Specified". We should select an appropriate language code so that the language choice is displayed by a standard DVD player (when the Subtitle/Subpicture button is pressed on the remote control unit). In this example, we choose English as the language code for the first subpicture stream.

To create the root menu page, we drag the data item page0-t-scn from the Tracks pane of the Asset Manager window and drop it into the root PGC as following.

Scenarist automatically creates the required program and cell to hold the display for the root menu page (as a still picture). The root menu is not operational until we add the menu items (commonly known as menu buttons) and assign the appropriate playback actions to these menu buttons. We can see how the actual root menu page looks like in the Simulation window by double clicking the cell icon as shown in the following screen capture. We can also display the Simulation window by clicking its icon from the tool bar.
