DVD video made with DVDStyler doesn't play ok with background audio
I made DVD Video with DVDStyler.
The problem is that with background audio (ac3 file) DVD doesn't play well: that is menu is displayed but it seems that you cannot interact with buttons on the menu itself.
If i remove audio background all works ok.
Any ideas?
I tried with ac3 files (audio or stero) and mp2 files. Obviously in DVD option I correctly selected audio format.

I have a very similar problem. MP2 audio clip plays over black screen until ended, then main menu appears and audio clip start again, but I cannot interact with menu buttons.

@actionparsnip I have tried devede but the result is that audio background is not played but you can interact with menu buttons.
I supposed to be a defect of my DVD player but the result (I speak about both dvdstyler dvds and devede dvds) are the same with other DVD players (not very recent hardware) and with Ubuntu (totem or xine).
The strange thing is that audio background seem correctly inserted into DVD tree (I have found,in the DVD tree, an mpeg file that is just the DVD menu with audio background, and I suppose it is this the file DVD player should play).
I suppose of a bug of authoring process.
@Ron, thanks for your feedback.
Can you help with this problem?
