Hi guys I'm trying to back up my copies of Starwars epsidoe 1 and 2.

I got a minor problem in that there is a bloopers reel and deleted scenes which i can access on a pc but can't work out how to get to on a standalone (they're not obvious menu buttons), found somthing about highlighting the THX logo and then doing a button combo but that didn't seem to work on my old panasonic rv31 standalone player.

What I'm hoping is possible with something like dvdremake or ifoedit, is to either to create new buttons or use existing buttons that have no use any more (gonna remove the starwars.com button on the main menu, and there are a few of the audio and subtitle options that i have no use for) to link to the sets of extras?

if it helps the bloopers and deleted scenes are VTS 4, Title 15 and VTS 6 and Title 21 respectively.

I was trying to edit the button like was done for say one of the scene select buttons but clearly did something wrong.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

I did that on SW EP2... if i recall corectly there is hidden combo on language selection screen.
1) Open in dvdremake (demo is just fine), search for lang selection menu
2) Check the command on hidden button (i think it leads to another menu with same video but different buttons)
3) On the second menu when particular button is pressed it takes you on hidden feature, so you just need the command on that button
4) With VobEdit change button command on original lang selection menu to command that triggers special feature
5) Take one of the surrounding buttons and change the link for one navigation command (left, right, up or down) to point on that hidden button. And for hidden button you can set AutoAction.

So for example when you go to the left from "main menu" button, and you have set "left" to point on hidden button it will trigger the hidden feature...

I don't remember exactly what i did on that dvd but i think this would be heplful enough.
