Oh, interesting to hear you've seen it too. Yes I've tried new projects, new menus, non-text overlays, everything I can think of and the problem persists. I've even reused Photoshop files that worked in the past. I really like the Photoshop approach. I like having the text itself be the button, instead of an arrow or something small. Also, I can expand the area the button real estate so it goes across the menu, which is nice if you're playing the DVD on a computer.
What annoys the hell out of me, if this is a bug, is that this is an end-of-line program, so there's no hope for improvement. Where do we go from here? Encore? Can I do the same sort of thing in that program?
Thanks for the reply.

I have had this happen. It is probably just a bug, so have you tried re-creating this menu as new menu in the project and in a new project? At least that would let you know if the photoshop file is the problem or not.
I find photoshop menus in DVDSP very buggy and avoid creating menus that way whenever possible. I will gladly take a small hit on what I can do graphically to avoid the bugs.

Yes – black text on a white background for the overlay, no alpha. It works on some buttons but not others. I've been testing like mad and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for when it works and when it fails. I haven't changed my methodology and created several DVDs over the last few months with no issues. All of a sudden I have problems.
Thanks.

Mouseover should show the finger icon on a computer within button areas. Does that work?

Save a separate flattened file of just the alpha. Also 720 X 480.
