maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

I am aware of the menu item that offers me "chapter" and "title".

I'm looking for the real DVD navigation, i.e. what you would see when you put
the DVD into a DVD player. *that* navigation menue is what I'm NOT seeing !

I'm under the impression that this isn't implemented yet. Is this not a correct
understanding ?

thanks, and best rgds,

   You can release software that's good, software that's inexpensive, or
   software that's available on time.  You can usually release software
   that has 2 of these 3 attributes -- but not all 3.
