I am puting together a concert video dvd. Can I add an mp3 concert to it and make it accesible through the menu? It would be nice if I could set it up to play the mp3's with a slideshow or something. If possible, are there any guides around explaining how? Thanks!

If you are creating a true DVD structure, you cannot include .MP3 audio...

I figured it out. I converted the mp3 to ac3 and used muxman to create a vob.

Glad to hear you've resolved this ;>}

Hey, another question. The dvd file I made from the audio plays fine on pc but acts stragely with standalone dvd player. I muxed the ac3 audio and a black bmp file of the correct aspect ratio (720 x 576 PAL) and gave it chapter points. When playing on the pc (with powerdvd and vlc media player) it plays fine and I am able to navigate between the chapter points. In the dvd player, it will not navigate between chapter points and will freeze if I try to give it any commands (but will play fine if I don't do anything). Any idea how I can resolve this? Thanks.

EDIT I found a tutorial that I think will be the answer (http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=300631). It seems that, since there is no video stream, only a picture, that the player treats this as a menu. Because of this, the next chapter button will not work. This tutorial seems complicated but I will try it.

You need a new still image for every chapter. And I know MuxMan will allow chapters without a new image, something I need to fix, as it is an error.
