VCDXBUILD errors - Please help

[artbatista]

Ok, first of all I have downloaded and studied in detail all the guides and examples I found. To my untrained eye the following file looks good, but when I try to build I get the following errors:

-------------------------------------------------------

XML is case sensitive, e.g. Play-intro is not the same as play-intro

as a rule of thumb, just stick to lower case identifiers....

[hvr]

like already told you by email:

there's another error:

only <play-item> tags may reference <sequence-item>, <entry> or <segment-item> elements... all others must reference elements contained in <pbc>.

that's basically the distinction made between play items and PSD items. (see also manual)

and btw, the XML representation is based closely on the actual VCD structures.... it's not a limitation imposed by vcdimager, but by the VCD format... e.g. you can't directly reference a play item as selection target... you must use an intermediate psd item for that...

[timmy_boi]

im kinda new at this but hmm

i see that it says it cant find play-info not found

and i the reference name for the intro is jus called
"into" not "play-into"

could that difference reference name could be the cause of the trouble??
