Having Problems with scene selections menus in DVD-Lab

[Pakled]

Hi there everyone! Just wondering if anyone out there has had this problem. I create my main menu and it works fine. Then creat the scene selection menus and here's where the fun begin:
1) The auto scene selection menu function adds a stop for the start of the movie even though my first chapter point is 5+ mins into the movie.

2)After I get all the menus adjusted (minus the start one I delete) I make sure all the links are correct and everything, I compile the DVD. Program says it's finished but I notice it doesn't seem to be creating the BUP/IFO files for the menus.

Any help with what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

I ran into this same sort of problem when I forgot to do a couple of things...

Make sure that all the links from "menu 1" are correct..ie "play" (or "Play all"...etc) goes to movie start, and "chapters" (or "chapter selection", or "whatever" you have) is linked to "scene selection menu".

After I get all the menus adjusted (minus the start one I delete)

make sure that this isn't your culprit???...maybe deleting the "start one" is causing the problem.

Since DVD-Lab creates the first chapter point at the beginning of the movie...

just a thought...

Thanks for the help. I'll try it tonight when I get home. Actually what I've been doing is changing the link point of the first button on the first scene selection page, then since I had 17 chapter points(inlcuding the one DVD-Lab created) and an eight chapter menu I just deleted the last page which only had 1 chapter point on it.

I was also wondering if my GOP settings in TMPGenc had anything to do with it? I read on another forum where people sometimes get menu problems based on it. Any mor help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Gave it a try one more time. Just loaded the mpv and mp2 files. created the menus, made sure all the links were there & compiled. Same problem as before only the play button on the main menu would work, none of the scene selection menus did anything execpt play the audio in power-dvd no video, which is what happened before. Gesshhh I'm about to pull my hair out on this one!

Well if anyone out there has anymore ideas I'd sure love to hear them.

Thanks in advance,
