You still need to modify the button/subpicture highlight - this is the main reason for the partial highlight you're experiencing.
I missed the fact that the highlight section is separate, and I cannot fathom what I have to do, presumably yet another piece of software required - that is five so far I think.

How do you guys who do this all the time manage without having a properly designed integrated package? It is like having a 15 year old version of MS Word and needing five extra packages to change the bold, underlining and colour and to insert tables and columns!

I have no idea, I raised that point several days ago.

Last sentence I do not understand.

It is the first three seconds of the original recording and is unwanted

For your case, the easiest way is to use method 2. Then reroute First Play PGC pre-command to jump to the Root menu (VTS1/Menus/PGC 1).

If you're still stuck, I need to see your files so I can help you walk through a lot quicker as you're on this project for a few days. As for the files, I'd like to see 2 sets.
1) --snipped--
2) --snipped--

Upload 2 these files here. I'll take a look.
They can be found here http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/albertd/zips.htm, along with the graphic of the new background.

I think that for any others I do, I will adopt a simpler, I hope, process and make separate (a few seconds overlong) copies from the VCR, for each of which the DVD Recorder should set up a button, then just change the backgound and blank the top and tail of each bit of video. Does that sound a better overall approach?
