Selection Problems @ Disc Menu (v4)

Question

Hi, I wanted to create a new DVD Template to use for creating DVDs. I made sure that I previewed it on Premiere Elements 4 to make sure all the buttons, selections, and vice versa are perfect. Then, I burn my project onto a DVD+RW. However, when I load the DVD on any player, the cursor doesn't show at all. I've checked between the templates that came with Premiere Elements with mine, but haven't find any differences that I was missing in my created template.
Here's what my template contains...
File name
set name
layer name
(layer type)
Main Menu
Scene Selection
title
title name (text box)
(+>) next arrow
(=1) Highlight (layer)
next arrow (layer)
(+<) previous

previous arrow (layer)
(++) scenes

I made sure that the special characters, like (++) (^^) (=1) etc, are correct.
The question is, is this, so far, the correct way for creating a new DVD Template?
By the way, I'm new to this forum!

Answer 1

answering the questions...
1.) Are you testing your DVD RW (good policy to test with a DVD RW, BTW) on a set-top player, hooked to a TV?
Yes, I have one DVD player hooked-up to my TV.
2.) Are you testing on your computer with a software DVD player?
Yes, i'm using PowerDVD.
3.) Did you start with one of the Library Menus, and then build from that, or did you create this Menu from scratch?
I based it upon one Library item because Photoshop Elements and then replaces the old set with the new sets with the layers that I wanted to add to the template. (Notice that I don't have the "play all" and the "go to menu" button on the main menu)
4.) If you did start with a Library Menu, how did you change/edit the Highlight Layer. Exactly, how is it constructed for the "average" Button on your Menu?
I simply used a standard layer that carries a picture of a border that goes around the selected item. I made one for the menu and then the scene selection button via duplication (in the proper set folder), and one NEW ONE for the next button and then the previous arrows via duplication. (This is for the main menu)
For the scene selection, there is one border highlight for each video rectangles via duplication, one NEW ONE for the next button and then the previous arrows via duplication, and one NEW ONE for the "go to main menu" button. (hopefully this answers your question)
5.) Do any of your Sub-Picture Highlights function, or just some? Are they ON, regardless of which Button is navigated to?
For the menu, every set except the title and background can be highlighted.
Fort he scene selection, every set made can be highlighted.
I couldn't understand the last question.
6.) Is the visibility of your Sub-Picture Highlight Layers turned OFF (no "eyeball" in the first column)?
For the main menu, the next and previous button highlights are off, but the menu and scene selection highlights are on.
For the scene selection, every items have the highlight on.
Also, I forgot to mentioned that I used two DVDs to burn with: DVD-R & DVD+RW. Both was able to be written and the DVD players, computer and tv, was able to read, but still resulted the same issue with the cursor.
I'm not sure if I explained this already, but I used a template that came with Premiere Elements, and the cursor managed to work after burning.
