Thanks for reporting back with the good news. That is a relief.
I was starting to worry that you may send "the hounds" after me, because of the previous instructions that didn't work.

Hi there, [again]

Following your instructions and they WORK PERFECTLY! had to watch you video 6-7 times for it to sink in though.

A Couple of LAST [i promise] questions. 
My concerts are in full screen BUT the final disc is in LETTERBOX!.
AND some are in 1080p BUT the render is in 720p
Is there a way in MSP or DVDA to rectify this?

I promise i won't be on you arse again after this!

Please upload a copy of your .dar DVD Architect project file to the forum.
I will then be able to open it and check your settings.

Thanks for the files - that makes everything crystal clear!

Are you making a DVD or Blu-ray disc ?
DVD only supports 720x480 Standard Definition video.
If you want your disc to use 1920x1080 high definition video, you need to set your DVDA project to Blu-ray and burn to a Blu-ray disc.

In DVDA, here are the settings you need to change
If you only have DVDs and are not burning to Blu-ray disc, change this setting.
Go to File/Properties
Set Aspect Ratio = 16:9

 

You also need to set the Preview Window in DVDA to 16:9 Aspect Ratio
Go to Options/Preferences/Preview
Set Aspect Ratio = 16:9

 

If you are making Blu-ray discs (HD video), change your Project Properties to this:
Go to File/Properties
Set to Blu-ray disc

 

Regards
Derek

Upload a copy of your .dar project file, so that I can inspect your Menu structure.

You have your Blu-ray disc set to start with a video and not a menu.
As soon as you start playing the disc, a short video called "Bootintrodemo" should play - you have it set to play for 10 seconds and then it should stop and open the the Main Menu.
It works OK in Preview mode on my computer.

If there is something wrong with the intro video, that is the only thing I can think of that might cause a problem.
