Understanding DVD Main Menu Markers
You manually place DVD Main Menu Markers to indicate the beginning of each movie
that you want listed on the main menu of your DVD. If the Main Menu template you select
contains extra buttons (buttons other than the Play Movie or Scenes buttons), those buttons
will link to the Main Menu Markers and play from each marker until reaching a Stop Marker
or the end of the media in the Timeline window. If the main menu does not contain enough
Main Menu Marker buttons, Adobe Premiere Elements duplicates the main menu and adds
a Next button on the primary main menu. If you have no Main Menu Markers in your movie,
Adobe Premiere Elements omits the buttons in the main menu.
Important: The Play button on the main menu automatically links to the starting point of the
time ruler, so you don’t need to place a Main Menu Marker there.

Understanding Scene Markers
You can add DVD Scene Markers automatically or manually where desired. Adobe
Premiere Elements uses Scene Markers to create a scene submenu, which is accessible
from the Scenes button on the DVD main menu. If you have no Scene Markers in the
Timeline window, Adobe Premiere Elements omits the Scenes button and the scenes
submenu.
Scene Markers map directly to buttons on Scenes submenu.
