[ying0yang]

have try many things but no result.

it supposed to be a problem with the reference to mainmenu.

i have made the mainmenu file with vcdeasy mpeg still image.

so it is the menu of my vcd and i got 5 videos also.

the mainmenu file seems to be ok . have check the reference to mainmenu in xml file , and i cant see what's wrong.

please any help . im sure it's a dumb error but cant find it.

Hi!
You seem to have made a slight mistake in the XML.
You forgot that in the <segment-items> section you've defined the identity for "mainmenu.mpg" as "seg-mainmenu" where as in the <pbc> section you are refering the "mainmenu.mpg" as "select-mainmenu" and "segement-mainmenu" which obviously VCDImager cannot recognise since not defined anywhere earlier in the given XML.
That's all. Hope this helps you in the future too to avoid such mistakes.
