Hi,
I finally got around to using TSCV (now that I halfway know what I'm doing with it) to create a vcd with a simple menu and 3 mpegs. Everything works great except that when I pop it into my ge1101PA the word select flashes continuously. That, from what I understand (and I may be completely wrong here) is normal at the menu screen. Unfortunately, after I select a movie to watch, it keeps flashing SELECT for 20 sec afterwards during the movie. I've burned a vcd before using Nero to make the menu, and while that made the player flash select over & over at the menu screen, it did not show that during any of the movies. I don't mind select flashing at the menu screen, that's fine, but it's annoying even for 20s of the start of the movie. Is there a setting I've done wrong, so that the dvd player is waiting for a selection that's not going to happen, then times out and quits asking? I can't find anything that I did that would call for a 20s query at the start of the menu, but I'm still relatively new to this. If anyone has any thoughts on the subject please post them here, I appreciate it.

Maybe I need to wipe out the timeouts for the movies? I believe I tried that before, but I'll give it another try and post the results here if that's what it was, just in case someone else stumbles across this problem. If I'm being a complete newb then I apologize, I'm trying to get it correct. ^_^
