[subject change]

I've been manually creating a DVD using the dvdauthor suit and ffmpeg, and have managed to successfully make a DVD that has a main menu and one chapter menu. (the goal to incorporate them into my own program)

However, my problem lies in the main vmgm menu.
It contains two buttons..one that should play the first video sequence and the remaining button..jump to a scene selector.

I've been able to compile the dvd xml file..yet i'm not sure on how to make the vmgm "play movie" button jump right into the video itself. (as of now it does the same thing as the second button, just to avoid warnings)

Qdvdauthors' xml file contains scripting (which I believe is the solution?) that is documented poorly on dvdauthors website; as to which am asking if anyone else has had this similar problem..with a simple solution.

Or at least can point me towards better documentation.

Thank you.


Here is the following xml file

<dvdauthor dest="DVD\">
<vmgm>
<menus>
<video format="ntsc" aspect="4:3" resolution="720x480" />
<pgc entry="title">
<vob file="video\intro.mpg" />
<post> jump menu 2; </post>
</pgc>
<pgc pause="inf">
<button> ?; </button> <-- am stumped here
<button> jump titleset 1 menu entry root; </button>
<vob file="video\index.mpg" />
</pgc>
</menus>
</vmgm>
