Well after much troubleshooting DVDLobby Pro Version 1.21 is now ready for the public. (Don't be fooled by the version number - it really should be V1.5 but was left as 1.21 to match Larry's Menu Maker program)
For those of you who are unfamiliar with DVDLobby Pro - here are a few links:

Here is a list of the new features and changes found in DVDLobby Pro Version 1.21:
- DVDProfiler support (import data and DVD covers from Intervocative's DVDProfiler) This feature requires DVDLobbyPro Menu Maker Version 1.21 which is available for free.
- User option on startup to change main movie image action to PLAY MOVIE or WEB PAGE when clicked
- Display thumbnails on startup
- Display Action Panel on startup
- Display up to 10 different skins instead of 6 on startup
- Change background skins using new keyboard shortcuts directly from within DVDLobby Pro. No need to load the setup program and then reload DVDLobby Pro.
- Moved movie images to a separate images directory
- Movie images now use a four digit sequence in an effort to display them properly in numerical order. (you'll be able to rename them easily with a batch rename program) ie dvd0001.jpg, dvd0002.jpg, etc.
- Batch files are also named with a four digit sequence but remain in the fscommand directory
- Only numbers can now be entered below the Movie Poster frame
- Screen no longer flashes black for a second when closing thumbnails
More features are still being worked on and will most likely be free in future updates:
- Screen Savers
- Motion Background Skins
- Additional buttons incorporated into the draggable Action Panel
- More great free background skins
- etc.
