The dialog box icons, like C1, are chapter links, which connect a menu's button to an instant of the video project below to play it from. A red icon may appear in a corner, indicating that the menus are linked with none, so they are not reachable or usable.

Drag all of them in the bigger track on top. So, let's suppose to create an introduction Menu, and two other menus. The links are represented as small icons between the Menu track and the A/V Tracks more at the bottom. Your project works with these menus, fully customizable, that admit buttons that lets you jump to different parts of your project, which is described through the A/V Tracks more at the bottom. To add them, simply click and drag them on the bigger track on top. Each menu has two clips: one used as introduction, and the other one to select what to see. Pinnacle Studio gives you different Menu templates. So that, if you click on them, you can move through the menus and choose to see what you like most. Disc Menus are clips on their own, that can accept inside interactive objects called buttons. You can add them going to Navigation and then to Disc Menus, under Content. A bigger track appears on top of the other standard tracks, accepting just DVD Menus. To make things easier, keep on the third button on the left, fixed on DVDMenu. You can add different menus and chapters. With the Author mode, you can build a DVD interactive menu, that acts depending on what you click on the screen.

Or, if you already have a project ready, you can switch from the Edit mode to the Author mode to import all. You can create a project there in the same way as seen with the Edit mode, adding new tracks and working on your clips. The workspace is more or less the same, with the Navigation panel on the left, the Preview on the right, and the same kind of timeline with its tracks. The Author mode is used to create CDs and DVDs with your project, instead of exporting it as a video file in your computer.
