Hard to say, pr. It could be that something is up with the template you're using. Or the font.
FWIW, in my experience, the Premiere Elements Movie Menu templates as a rule don't allow for very long names on the scene menu. I always end up resizing or moving things around to prevent overlap.
I'm not sure about the black bands. I'd have to actually see a screen capture. I've not experienced anything like that.
On the other hand, I've been using DVD Architect Studio for years as my disc authoring program. I'm familiar with the Premiere Elements' disc authoring system, but I rarely use it. DVD Architect is so much more intuitive. And, for $39, it's paid for itself many times over! I just output the finished movie in a DVD-ready format from Premiere Elements (we've got a free tutorial on our site that shows you how) and then import that into DVD Arch.
But that doesn't excuse problems you're having with Premiere Elements. It should work also. But we'll need a bit more detail -- and some screen shots -- before we can say what's up.
Meantime, does this same problem occur if you use a different Movie Menu template?
