Rec 709 is HD. sRGB or SMPT should do. Or try to save as TIFF from Photoshop.. 

Or duplicate all your text layers into a new single layer, change text color to black. In dvdsp, designate as overlay layer and turn off in menu background.

I've restarted the program and refreshed the project several times. But I'll try the unflatten approach and see what happens. There is a big color shift. DVDSPRO sees the flattened PSD file as a "Quicktime Picture" and an unflattened file as "Photoshop." The "Photoshop" file looks like is entirely too bright. Using Rec 709. Maybe I can try something else to get it back to where it should be. But if it worked, that would a start.

Thanks again.

Two more things to try:

1 Might be a corrupt dvdsp project. Happens often with weird results. Try in new fresh project.
2 Rename "background" layer to something else (unflatten) and after reimporting designate  that as your menu background layer in dvdsp

Last resort, I suppose. Thanks. What's the best way to go about that – trashing all DVDSPRO files I can find?

Reinstall, then.

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.

You mean a flattened file with black text against a white background? Without alpha? That should work as an overlay..
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.
