I am a newbie at this process and Im not sure if this is along the same lines but I have been using tscv to make chapters and menus with my vcds but I seem to be having a bit of a problem, I cant seem to get the extro mpeg to work or to get the menu at the end of the mpeg to show after the movie stops, i.e. I have a menu before the move saying "Chapter Index" (showing all the chapter selections) or something like that and then the mpeg and then at the end I tried to put another menu or extro mpeg that says something like "Insert Disc 2" but the menu at the end does not show. The first menu shows but the final one doesn't I think I have tried everyting is there something I am doing wrong? Any Help would be greatly appreciated

Stevlover, you have two choice to get insert disc 2 to show up after the end of movie
But first of all you have to make sure that you code your XML code correctly. you have to set "time out" at every chapters of your movie to point to "insert disc 2". I don't think TSCV will do this for you, you need to get your hand dirty a little bit now
1st choice, add your insert disc2 as a menu, after you added your movie and set all the entrypoints, edit "Time out" in every chapters given in TSCV to insert disc2 (smenu-1)
2nd choice, add your insert disc2 as a mpg after your main movie, samething edit "Time out" in every chapters to insert disc 2 (selection-2-0).

***If I'm not right, you can post your XML file here so all the expert can correct it for you***

Note TSCV itself, cannot do some complicate things, you need to get involve or do some adjust by yourself. I suggest read Michael Tam's guide about XML and VCDImager to be able to do so.

Can anyone with knowledge of xml try to help me out with the above posted sample of my xml file so I can get my menus to work? any help would be greatly apprecuated

[ya_jai]

hey Stev did you get my edit xml? I compared between your and mine it seem like something wrong because if your add those 2 as a menu it should show in "segment item" not "sequence-items".

<sequence-items>
<sequence-item src="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\DVD\mainmenu.mpg" id="menu-0"/>
<sequence-item src="C:\TSCV\VCDNTSCSample.mpg" id="sequence-1">
<default-entry id="entry1-0"/>
</sequence-item>
<sequence-item src="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\DVD\lastmenu.mpg" id="menu-1"/>
</sequence-items>

this is my xml created by TSCV

Note I add insert disc 2 as a last track because I can prevent my main movie to cut off where I don't want.

This code use to play movie instantly with one button (play/enter)

I don't have <select ref="selection-m1-0"/> because it is not in my chapter list.

PS: how did you make your insert disc 2 mpeg file. Because at last track if it too short player will cutoff and somehow might not show it.
