I've run into this problem since I started making Blu-rays a couple years ago and I'm finally researching... I'm creating the menus in DVDA the exact same way for DVD and Blu-ray and I get the exact same problem with DVDA Studio 5 and DVDA Pro 6.0.
I produce DVDs and Blu-rays for local high school choral concerts. I try to keep it simple so I create a main menu (top menu) that normally has a couple buttons to jump into the major parts of the concert. I then add a scenes submenu with links to each song in the concert. Building it and previewing in DVDA works fine.
The problem comes in when playing the disk on a set top player:
The remote for the player has two menu buttons - "Menu" and "Top Menu"
On DVDs I can select a song from the "scenes" menu, it plays and at any time if I hit the "Menu" button on the player's remote it jumps back to the last menu used. So, it goes back to the scene menu and I can select another song directly... If I hit the "Top Menu" button it goes to the main menu.
On Blu-rays if I use the scenes menu and select a song it jumps to the song but if I then hit the "Menu" button on the remote the player says "No Menu". The only menu I can get back to is the main menu using the "Top Menu" button but then I have to navigate back into the submenu to pick another song, extra steps!
So the question is, how can I get the "Menu" button to work correctly and return me to the last menu used instead of the player saying "No Menu"
