DVDRemakePro issues

[tsmr]

Hey guys, I am having some issues with the authoring process on two different DVD's using DRMP 3.6.3:

* DVD1

I decrypted the VOBs from a eng/ita dvd9 with Fab HD, imported the files in DVD Remake Pro and started slimming the disc down.
I removed extras, trailers and dolby digital credits.after that I edited the menus to remove the useless buttons.
until here, all seems to go fine.

but when I export the dvd, load it with shrink to make an ISO and mount it on a virtual drive, window's autoplay feature does not see the the disc as a DVD and instead of the usual "open with.." menu, I get a new file explorer interface.
there is another thing that I don't seem to be able to fix: when opening the disc with VLC (file->open disc->DVD (menus)), all I see is a black screen and I have to manually select the navigation options in order to get to the root menu.

what am I doing wrong?


* DVD2

same as previous for the decrypting part and I deleted more or less the same suff. additionally, I blanked also the last two chapters of PGC1 because it was the closing credits.
I exported the modified dvd files and fed them to CCE, where everything went smoothly.
I burned the dvd5 and tried to play it on my computer with VLC: autoplay and menus are fine but the movie has no sound! There should be both italian and english tracks but I tried everything, I just can't hear anything.
selecting any of the languages from VLC or from the root menu does't work
I am 100% sure I didn't mess with any audio setting in either DVDRemakePro or DVDRebuilder

again, what am I doing wrong?

If you use Remake and do not want to modify commands than do not delete anything, use "Hide" function instead.
This way all commands stay in place.
If you use delete, all commands in that section will be deleted also and you are in trouble, unless you modify navigation.
As for sound. DVD will always play first audio track by default, if there is no sound, most likely you deleted it by accident either in Remake or Rebuilder.
You can always load you final product back to Remake and see if audio track is there and you do not see any red marked VTS or PGC, if that is so, than the navigation need to be corrected.
