DVD works but not menu....

[gis]

Hi everybody,
first, congratulations for the DVD backup guide which is really well done and well explained.:D
I have a problem : I have just made a DVD backup using this documentation (www.doom9.org/mpg/ra-guide.htm). It's a Musical DVD (DVD9). I've had no errors or strange things during procedures, and now that I want to test DVD, I have something strange :
I can choose chapters (I use powerDVD) and the clips are OK, everything is beautiful and working BUT the main menu! :

When I right click --> select menu --> root menu, it pauses and nothing happens as if it doesn't find the menu...

I've been told to verify if I had these : VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.VOB and i've got them.. have an idea?

Its my first DVDR, I tried to restart from the beginning but it's the same problem.. Is the DVD protected or something like that or did I miss something?

Thanx for your suggestions and your guide,
:)

The VIDEO_TS.* files only contain the video manager information! Not the root menu!

The root menu of each VTS is in a file VTSx_0.vob (replace x with the VTS number). Check it you have these files.

Strange. At least the dvd structure seems to be ok. Maybe there's an error in one of the command tables.

I must say that i'm not so familiar with these Backup Tools. I'm authoring only my own discs. Maybe someone with more backup experience can help you. :)
