Re: Help in creating complex menus

Thank you, Lawrence, but still I can't get into it.

I know I can do this (as I've done this in the past) when I'm using just one clip for each step, am 
I wrong?

But in this case (copy and paste from dvdauthor docs, expanding `pgc' tag):

...
    <titleset>
       <menus>
          [<video ... />]
          [<audio ... />]
          <pgc [entry="title"] [palette="yuvfile|rgbfile"]
               [pause="seconds|inf"]>
             <pre> commands; </pre>
---->       <vob file="stream1.m2v" chapters="0:00:00.00,  0:02:30.00,  0:04:00.00,  0:07:13.00,..." 
[pause="do I need pauses?"] />
<!--                                         |menu_1    |a transition| menu_2     | menu_4...  | -->
             [<vob ... />]
             <button [name="buttonname"]> commands; </button>
             [<button ... />]
             <post> what do I write here? </post>
          </pgc>
          [<pgc ... />]         <--- if I use just one mpeg clip I don't need any further pgc 
declaration
       </menus>
       <titles>
          [<video ... />]
          [<audio ... />]
          <pgc [palette="yuvfile|rgbfile"] [pause="seconds|inf"]>
             [...]
          </pgc>
          [<pgc ... />]
       </titles>
    </titleset>
...

Here, how can I get a series of <post> sequences whose are related to different chapters each?
