Hello,
I tryed to use release Varsha release 0.75.
I built a simple DVD filesystem structure made of one
Titleset with one menu and one Title below, the menu
contains two menuItems linking to two videos (mpg2 of
course) contained in the Title. The menuItems are two
test buttons containing the jump information to the
mgg2 files.
When I tell to create the iso, Varsha creates video_ts
and audio_ts correctly while the iso file is zero bytes.
Running xine dvd:/path_to_dvd_filesistem/ I can see the
menu (static background image) with the two buttons
defined, but no action when I press onto them with the
mouse (standard commercial dvd do work on my system
with xine).
I tried to understand why, and I noticed some strange
things:
1. the select.png highlight.png and background.png
files usually used to define buttons art blank
(meaning, the files exists but the picture is simply
white, nothing in it)
2. the xml code contains no jump statement (please see
xml code
below)
any idea?
chmod777

I am able to happily burn my videos to disk and it plays in
a stand alone dvd player. But I have same problem with
menues: Some times when I put together a layout, the menu
items are clickable like they should be. Other times when I
do a menu layout, the menu items are not clickable. And
today I added one more menu item to old layout which did
work fine, and the new item is not clickable, but all the
old menu items are still clickable.
In my most recent test, I did two things then re-ran the
disk creation procedure, and it worked this time.
First I deleted /root/varsha_temp/ then I saved the layout
in varsha, exited varsha, re-ran varsha, and then clicked
the burn disk button, and this time it worked perfectly.
I don't know whether it was the fact that I cleared out the
varsha temporary directory, or the fact that I
saved/exited/reloaded varsha before burning, since I did both.
I suspect that it's related to stale files in the temp
folder, but have not yet had the time to verify this.

Thanks a million to the author / maintainer of a great
program Varsha!
