DVD lab

I have a question about DVDlab

I used reboot's dvd lab guide but
I'm having some trouble with the motions.
I have a perfect mpg file of my motions, but only if I import them in the program it gives a few remarks. And when I simulate, it turns completely black and only the selection of the first button is visible
How can I fix this?

Or isn't there like a way to import gif files? That would make it a lot easier.
All the rest works fine.

What does it tell you when you import it ?

Did you put the motion background onto the menu, or into the video track UNDER the menu ? (it should be the later)

Have you made sure all your buttons are above the background (bring forward), and that you have set decent values for your highlights ?

Are you aware that the Simulation mode only tests button movement within a single menu page, and does not show a true simulation of the menu (unlike, say, DVD architect) ?

Ok here's what happened last time:
I tried to import the mpg file, it asks for demuxing first, if i say yes. it has to transcode the audio file first (no importance of course).
And when i drag the mpv file into my menu my bg turns all green with some weird pixels strangely coloured. So it's lost it's image.
If i say no demuxing, and I drag the mpg in my menu it gives this error:
Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

What version of DVD Lab are you running ?

What happens if you drag your mpv across to the preview window ?

Needs to be an m2v, right?

As DVD Lab is doing the demux, I'm not so concerned about the extension.
