Paul,
You are basically at the beginning of 'building' your DVD
and its menu page. At the style screen, you can edit tht
title, by clicking to edit the text. Then on the left,
click on GET VIDEO. You'll choose the video you
presumably edited in MM. A button will appear which is
what you would click in your DVD playing software on PC
or DVD player. After the button appears you can edit its
title (it will have the filename). Then click on Preview
at the bottom if you want to view the video. And as I
said, I make smaller movies that fade in/out to black
and 'GET' them separately so that I have multiple buttons
(pseudo chapters). I just make sure that, if I remember
correctly, that when you click burn, a window pops up
that has a check box to "PLAY ALL". That allows the whole
DVD to play continuously. Otherwise, I think, the
inidivual smaller movies will only play one at a time.
Even with Play All chosen, you click on your DVD remote
MENU button and you get the screen with all the buttons
and you can jump to whatever chapter you want.
