I'm new to using DVDStyler. I'm using it to make a DVD for a short horror-comedy film.
For Special Features, I want to include the trailer and 77 short videos that we made as Thank Yous for our financial backers.
I set up the menus as shown in the screenshot. The five submenus in Titleset 3 are an alphabetized list of all the individual videos, plus a Play All button. I set up those menus and everything seemed to be fine.
Then I hit BURN, asking for a Preview and an ISO file. The export FAILED on the last menu. Here's the log.

I tried removing this eighth menu, and the export proceeded without a problem, so therefore I thought the problem probably was in that last menu somewhere.
So, I put the eighth menu back in. But then I discovered that several of the text buttons no longer worked. Anytime I clicked or double-clicked on them, the entire program crashed. This seems to consistently happen in the area of the screen that I circled in the screenshot, and has now spread to all five of those menus.
I have tried saving the project with different names, but the problem seems to be migrating now to other menus. When I click on various buttons, they first turn out to be uneditable, and then the program crashes.
When I was initially constructing these menus, I received an error message saying that only a maximum of 18 buttons was allowed in a given menu, so I kept it 18.
Trying to troubleshoot this, I reconstructed the whole menu system from scratch, and got a DIFFERENT error message saying that only 12 buttons are allowed in a menu.
So I kept it to 12, and it seems to be working fine.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Maximum number of buttons on an SD-based DVD 4:3 menu: 36
Maximum number of buttons on an SD-based DVD 16:9 menu: 18, unless Pan Scan & Letterbox is selected, which then sets the maximum to 12

I need some help here.

Turns out this might be a bug.
When I was initially constructing these menus, I received an error message saying that only a maximum of 18 buttons was allowed in a given menu, so I kept it 18.
