Chapter indexes
About chapter indexes
A chapter index is a series of linked submenus that contain buttons that link to all the chapters in a timeline or slide
show. Many DVDs contain an option for selecting from a list of chapters or scenes. If your video includes more
chapters than can fit in a single menu, it can be time-consuming to link all the submenus together. When you use
the Create Chapter Index command, you can generate the chapter submenus automatically.
For example, if your timeline has 18 chapter points, you can create a menu with six chapter buttons. When you
choose Create Chapter Index, Encore generates three submenus, each containing six chapter buttons that link to the
appropriate chapter points. Other navigation buttons, such as Next and Previous, are also updated automatically.
Automatically generated submenus

that comprise the chapter index. The key to creating a chapter index menu is assigning the appropriate button types
to the buttons. The button types identify the buttons so Encore can link them correctly when generating the index.
For example, Encore links chapter buttons to chapter points, but leaves normal buttons unchanged.
1 Create or open the menu to use as the chapter index menu.
2 Add the necessary navigation buttons, such as Main Menu, Next, and Previous, to the menu.
