How to make the BD start by pressing "Play"?

Along with an issue of making the Next / Prev buttons work in a BD project, I find that while the disk will start by pressing "Enter" it doesn't start by pressing "Play".

How do you tell DVDAS that you want it to start by pressing "Play"?

I've made many DVD's with Pinnacle Studio, the Play button always functions identically to the Enter button to start the disk playing.

The version of Pinnacle I have doesn't do Blu Ray and the whole reason I migrated to Vegas and DVDAS is that it's supposed to be a much superior app to Pinnacle.

DVDAPro is a much superior app, and because it does do Blu-ray. The functionality of your Pinnacle Studio was built on canned-in parameters. It has long since been outmoded by "progress". You may have "enjoyed" that canned feel - that is a personal issue along side of where tech is going.

Now, that is not to say that DVDAPro does not have a few bugs that need tweaking. You are in for discovery. OR you can simply return to the old app....create DVD video and play on your Blu-ray player.

All that aside, this is a very simple functionality that *should* work and if it's part of the coding it was a ridiculous oversight.

agree with this, the customer absolutely should be able to hit "play" on their remote to play the DVD -- I've gotten complaints about this, having to explain clicking enter instead of "play", which is counterintuitive
