dvd making help

I'm trying to google for suggestions about this, but not much luck.

I'm using TMPGEnc DVD Author to make BSB concert dvd, but I'm having problems with the test dvd I made. I can't select some of the chapter links on the menu. One won't select at all (but the chapter will play, if you select the chapter before and just skip it), and a couple of others will select as you scroll down the list but not up (or vice versa). I can't see anything different about the settings.

Most of them are separate files, only a couple are chapters actually set in the files, and the problems aren't with those ones.

I've made dvds with it before with no problems like this, but I've never made a customised menu before (just tended to play with the preset themes), and I've never had this many chapters before (20, but only 19 of them in the menu).

Anyone come across this before, or have suggestions on places to look for help on it?

Is this the same software as the regular TMPGEnc? I've been looking for software to burn videos to DVD that makes menus. All I've found was menus when creating SVCD, not actual DVD files.

I have two TMPGEnc programs - TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 and TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5.

Plus converts mpegs/avis to .m2v and .wav files that I can then make into vob files (with menus) with DVD Author. These would be older versions as I got them two years ago and haven't upgraded. There are preset menus, or you can design your own (to a certain degree). I think I've still got the installation files if you want them?

I'd love the files for the TMPGEnc DVD author. Do you have a keygen or serial with it?

Let's try that again without premature posting.

Here's the .rar file I got of the two TMPGEnc programs, it should have everything you'd need for either of them.
