I think your mpg still menu creation was wrong. try this: 1. delete allthe menu mpg file in the destination dir, also the tscv project file in the tscv progr. dir. 2. prepare the menu pages: all in bmp with the resolution of 704x576(PAL) or 704x480(NTSC) 3. start the tscv clean, select the right type of (s)vcd(PAL or NTSC, vcd 2.0 or svcd 1.0), use add menu to choice all the menu bmps, then the main movie file. 4. author the interactivations normally, create bin/cue and report your resaults here. With I-Author you must add every chapters menually, calculation every entry point of chapters(the time in seconds) by your self. If you have a DVD like "The Lord of the Ring" witch has 40 chapters you will have to spend perhaps more time as you like. For I-Author: There is a patch to eliminate the limitation of the image size(74 min). By the way, the best authoring method for (s)vcd is(witch I've practsed since last mounthes): 1. use TSCV to build menu still images form bmps 2. use VCDEasy to create the basic .xml file with menus and chapters. 3. edit the .xml file (visit to get more info about authoring vcd with vcdimage/xml) 4. burn the edited .xml file with VCDEasy/Tools/bin-cue-files generation
