    When adding an audio file to my menu it only plays like 10 seconds and keeps looping. Is there a way to make more of the song play?

    Also is there a way to get rid of the "play all" and "return" graphics and just use clickable text in the font of my choice?

    Thanks so much for any help...I've been stuck for hours before finally resorting to asking!

    Not exactly sure what are you after, but if a DVD has a motion menu with audio, the menu will play as long as video and than go back.
    If menu is static, than it will play the length of audio and than go to beginning.
    To your other question. It is possible, but you will have to edit menu and insert text(button) with highlights and commands.

    thanks! I got the audio track to play like I wanted. Now I'm only having issues with the play all button. How do I create and text button with highlights and commands?

    I use TMPGenc 3, but 4 should (I suppose) be the same: when you go to set up your menu, on the page where you choose how many items to put per menu page and whether they are text or pictures, if you click on the "Play" button, to choose which image to use for it, one of the options should be "Text". You will, then, have the same options for it as you do with any other text link (font, color, size, effects, what it actually says, etc.).

    TDA3 and TMPG Authoring Works 4 are virtually the same, for the DVD aspect, yes.
