Problem with creaing Menu in VCDEasy

[haris]

hello friends!

I am trying to create a vcd with movie clips and a simple menu where I can press 1, 2 or 3 to jump to the clip. Chapters do not matter for the time being.

I have VCDEasy.

But I am having a strange problem. After I burn the cd, on my pc power dvd player when I press any of 1, 2 or 3 the menu disappears for a sec and then reappears and now pressing any button takes me to proper sequence.

My standalone sony's dvd player is showing different behavior. Whichever number I press it takes me to the first sequence.

I have tried these guides but getting same behaior:

What am I doing wrong here?

EDIT: I have attached the XML file which has been created by VCDEasy in the same folder where it created BIN and CUE.

Maybe your $ony dvd-player simply sucks
And how about trying VCDImager

but it is not working properly on powerdvd as well. As I said I have to press the button twice to open the sequence.

VCDImages is a console based tool which i think is beyond my capabilities.

VCDImager does have a GUI --- no need to mess around with the CLI. 8)
In fact, all we have to learn about it is understand the XML-formatting and the PBC
structure of the disk-image --- that really is worth the time and the effort.

Anyway, you might start by dropping the chapter points from the authoring
and check whether that makes some difference (for better, I hope). Another change
that might be interesting is:

[s:fa0f7cfc2a]return ref="Selection-end"[/s:fa0f7cfc2a] <-- drop it or replace with return ref="Selection-000"

Having two distinct values for the same instruction might be confusing the
playback virtual machines of Power DVD and of your $ony set-top.

HTH. Good-luck

it seems that vcdimager does not support menus. All it does is take input of mpeg files and create bin/cue files.
