[G4] DVD Studio

[Lavode]

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the advice.  Indeed, DVD Player won't open the VIDEO_TS 
folder.  Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong in the creation/building 
process.  I have followed (I think) all the steps to make a very simple 
DVD, but maybe I should try going simpler and just using a background 
image and lay in the buttons in DVDSP, rather than having a 
multi-layered psd.

Any more advice would be very welcome.

TIA,
Lavode
