If the Evenly entry is selected, Nero Vision divides the number of titles or chapters equally over the menu page. For instance, a total of eight titles are divided to four on a menu page.
If the Standard setting is selected in the default settings, then the titles and chapters are automatically distributed so that the maximum number of selected menu templates per menu page is achieved. For instance, in the case of eight titles, and depending on the capacity, six might be positioned on the first menu page and the other two on another.
