Try using VCD Builder. I use it for my VCD authoring and menus work great. At one point I had a XVCD authored using TMPGEnc (to convert the framerate up to 29.97 properly) and then spliced/authored under OS X (3 Anime fansubs, cut off the openings/endings and placed them at the begining/end of the VCD, with the menu leading into the episodes themselves).

The VCD worked rather well. VCD Builder can convert images into a menu for you too.
