Menu in VTS_02_01

[shindsh]

I have a wierd situation.
Using the Seamless Branching with Scenarist guide.
The VTS_01 section is fine and has 9 PGC's
Movie has an Extras Play which is in VTS_02 section
However the menu starts in VTS_02_01.PGC01 and is not confined to VTS_02_0.VOB.

1. How do I convert VTS_02.PGC01 to something Scenarist can take. Note that it is 30 KB file.
2. Even if I have Scenarist accepting the file, how will IFOUpdate know that.

Let me know if I my question needs more information.

I feel more information is needed.

Problem Was:
Movie had 2 titles, and the second title had initial part of the menu in VTS_02_1.VOB (as VOBID 1) and the rest of the menu in VTS_02_0.VOB.

DVD Decrypter on VTS_02: Split by VOBID
Creates:
VTS_02_VOB_01_1.VOB which has Menu VOBID:1
VTS_02_VOB_02_1.VOB which has Extras VOBID:2


Tried This:
In Scenarist have only one PGC for VTS_2 and import CCE encoded file for VTS_02_VOB_02_1.VOB only (extras).

In the final Scenarist build,
rename VTS_02_1 to VTS_01_002
rename VTS_02_VOB_01_1.VOB(menu) to VTS_01_001
Join clips using VOBEdit starting with VOBID 1
rename output file VTS_01_1.VOB to VTS_02_1.VOB

No point creating IFO file with IFOEdit on this joined clip, since it will make only one PGC.

Use the IFOUpdate method for VTS_01 stuff.
But for the VTS_02 leave the original IFOs intact.
Run IFOEdit and Get VTS_Sectors, and Remove PUPs.

The good thing here is that the menu works fine. However, the problem with this approach is that the extras had 3 chapters, and final version didn't contain all three chapters.

I dont know if I explained the problem clearly. I guess one has to encounter such a movie to really see the difficulty.
So I am still left without a proper solution.

DVD Decrypter on VTS_02: Split by VOBID
Creates:
VTS_02_VOB_01_1.VOB which has Menu VOBID:1
VTS_02_VOB_02_1.VOB which has Extras VOBID:2

Tried This:
In Scenarist have two PGC's for VTS_2 as the original structure and import VTS_02_VOB_01_1 (still menu) as PGC1 and import CCE encoded file for VTS_02_VOB_02_1 (extras) as PGC2.
Import the subtitle bitmap for still menu in PGC1 and audio for PGC2.

In Scenarist, define the menus for PGC1 (what a bitch). Only one button can be defined which is to take it to VTS_02_VOB_02_1. The others could not be defined as they all take you to VTS_02_0.VOB which is not in Scenarist.

Follow the original guide. Now I get the extras and but all the menu information in VTS_02_0.VOB is inaccessible. For example the VTS_02_0.VOB has a slide show.

Any thoughts?

As an example maybe this may help: VTS_02_VOB_01_1 is the menu in below picture where button popup shows. This example is only to illustrate something new I was trying by making VTS_02_VOB_01_1(p1.1_1_menu) have a button jump to P0.3_menu which would be VTS_02_0.VOB. This approach would defeat the purpose of keeping the original menu of VTS_02_0.VOB which has over 50 pictures in a slide show.
