iam having sum troubles with submenu's.
I have a menu with 2 buttons in it. 1st linking the movie 2nd to menu extras.
Whenever i push 2nd button it stops. I previewed in IFOedit, same. Status bar says "stopped".
Can someone tell me how to fix it or atleast where to look for in ifo's?

tnx in advance.

Where to look for it:

First look up in IfoEdit VOB ID and Cell ID of the menu. Open the corresponding VOB file in VobEdit (probably, VTS_01_0.VOB). Check the box Button at the bottom, select the first NAV pack with that VOB/Cell ID, and you'll see the button commands way down on the right among other info.

That should help you figure out what happens when you push that button.

Another option/util is called "MenuEdit"

there's a free version of it (last I looked anyway) and you should be able to see the menu commands there as well...

i took a look in vobedit.
found this: (Link subset) LinkTailPGC ..digits...
same for both buttons.
There are about 10-15 navpacks for VOB:1 CELL:1 with identical command. Cant make much out of it

Cant make much out of it That's a lucky occasion, especially if it's a motion menu or menu with audio, because LinkTailPGC means go to the Post commands of the current PGC, where actual button processing occur. You only need to fix the Post commands in IfoEdit. Check if there's something like "Set GPreg <xx> mov (set-val) <yy>" in each command. In these cases, it's common to set a GPRM to a button number and analyze it in the Post commands to determine, which button was pressed. This site (http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/vmcmdset.php) has a lot of info about DVD scripting and an interactive hex code generator.

All you have to do now is figure out what commands are executed when the button is pressed. For example, there could be some invalid link, maybe to a non-existent title, that makes the DVD stop playing.
