Need to be more descriptive.  The program you are using to test the menus, the program you used to create the menus, the method you are using to create the menus.  Have you ever created dvd menus before?

Try the trial of DVD Lab Pro.   It is fully functional for thirty days, which should be more than enough time, and there is an excellent help section accessible through the progam and other useful guides on Mediachance's website.

Jswert (please forgive me if this sounds rude) but is English not your language of birth?

If that's so letting people know may make them a bit more forgiving of your slightly stilted use of the language.

I'm terrible with languages other than English so I've always got a great deal of respect for people who give it a go.

As before, it depends on the program you're using.  I personally use either Adobe Encore or DVD Studio Pro (part of the Final Cut Studio package).

You'll need to make a different menu for every section (i.e., one main menu with the options "Play," "Chapters," "Subtitles/Audio," "Extras;" a few menus for chapters, with "next," "previous," and "main menu" buttons on each; a menu for subtitles/audio; and a menu for extras), and link them all together through the buttons on each menu.

Be sure to have a link back to the main menu for each other menu page, otherwise navigation will be a bitch.
