Is it possible to get this to work at all with a standalone player? I have been trying and to no avail I can not get it to work. I have had limited sucess with menuing in a plain VCD .. but none at all with SVCDs ..

Quick rundown of my setup:
Dual Pentium II 333
512MB RAM
Windows XP professional
HP 9150i 8x CDrw
Nero 5.5.6.4
Apex AD-600a standalone player

the details of my menuing experience with VCD vs SVCD:

when I am doing a menu with VCD it will load up and display the menu properly, but the first and second tracks seem to be corrupted and will not play; I also seem to not be able to select any of the tracks from the menu (e.g. pressing #3 on my remote does not bring up track 3) - others work fine there after.

with a SVCD it never loads - however the Apex will display the track #'s .. if I do a SVCD w/o a menu - it loads fine.

could there be a problem with the way Nero is buring the header or TOC on the CD?

Side note: I am converting the video files using the Nero SVCD/MPEG2 plugin I bought.
Also, I had problems with my Apex when I bought and had to send it in for repair so they flashed the BIOS to lock out the loophole menu - could there be a bug in the BIOS version they loaded to cause an invalid read of the header/TOC on SVCDs?

any information would be helpful.


P.S. I am looking for a (semi) easy way to do this -- have been advised to use TSCV (and I don't want to sound like a non-geek here) but it is a little more involved then I wish to invest in here ..
