hi,
i'm pretty new to dvd authoring and stuff and now i came across a dvd which causes a lot of troubles during the doitfast4u guide process. the problems are the menus and the single-frame extras in the second VTS.
i don't give a f**k about them, but i want the original trailer and making-of cce re-encoded back there and accessible through the main-menu.
the main menu of course is located in in the VTS_01_0.VOB and there are two buttons originally linking to some other menus on vts_02, but they are perfectly for my two extras.
what is the right command in menuedit to link these buttons to the second vts?

trailer:
PFC_9 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 1] [00:02:31.05 / 25 fps] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 9)
[Ch 10] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 9/ 1] : time: 00:02:31.05 / 25fps [Pos: 00:02:31.05] [Frames: 3780] SP/ILVU/DISC/SA:[ no/ no/yes/ no]

making-of:
PFC_10 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 1] [00:24:36.04 / 25 fps] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 10)
[Ch 11] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 10/ 1] : time: 00:24:36.04 / 25fps [Pos: 00:24:36.04] [Frames: 36904] SP/ILVU/DISC/SA:[ no/ no/yes/ no]

any sugestion?

(sorry for my bad english btw ;))

Actually it's not so obvious, especially because there are two buttons linking to VTS_02. Infact, according to DVD specification, you cannot directly navigate from a VTS to another, so I think there are 2 possibilities:
[list=1]
Your main menu is actually in VIDEO_TS.VOB, and the button commands should be:
30 02 00 00 00 XX 00 00 for the trailer
30 02 00 00 00 YY 00 00 for the making-of
XX = hex value for 9 + number of PGCs in VTS_01
YY = hex value for 10 + number of PGCs in VTS_01
Your main menu is in VTS_01_0.VOB and the 2 buttons call 2 dummy PGCs in the VMG. You should find post commands in these PGCs that point to the other menus in VTS_02. If you find them, replace them with the commands above.
[/list=1]Let me know if it works ;)
P.S.: I got the commands from http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/index.php

hmm interesting :)

i'll try solution one first, but if that has no success i'll need some more advice on solution two, which is a little hard to understand for a noob ;)

menuedit says:

extras menu
JumpSS VMGM (pgc 2)
3006000200C00000

trailer menu
JumpSS VMGM (pgc 3)
3006000300C00000

so where exactly would these dummy pgcs be located? little ifoedit help plz ;)

Since your buttons jump to VMGM, you should have situation 2.
Open VIDEO_TS.IFO with IFOEdit and go to VMGM_PGCI_UT ---> PGC_menu_2 and PGC_menu_3. Among their post commands you should find something like a JumpSS command. Try to replace them with the commands I gave you and see what happens...
