Ho do I insert an OGM file into Reel DVD ??
I have the image, and i have buttons, but when i try to insert it next to the image it says, 1 rejected. But when i insert it on the 'player' it accepts it, with errors still.
How can I do this??

Its a DivX 5.02, OGG, OGM file.
I want to use jpg menupics and for chapters too.

And how do I set the chapters when I have accomplished that??

Plz help out.

ReelDVD only supports PCM, MPEG-1/2 audio, or AC-3 audio streams. If you want to use an OGM file you have to first convert it to one of the accepted formats.

MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 (single frame), JPG, TIFF, BMP, and PICT images can be used for images, but they have to be appropriately sized to match the rest of the stream (for example if you are doing an D1 Encode for NTSC the image must be 720x480).

You set the chapters by clicking where you want them and pushing the "Add a Chapter" icon at the bottom of the screen.

I think you will have a hard time finding any authoring program (for DVD - which is all ReelDVD does, so I assume that is what you want) that will handle OGM as input. Every professional level authoring package I know of only accepts Audio and Video as elementary streams. The video streams have to be in MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 (within certain rules) and the audio streams have to be one of the formats I specified.
