Hi Andrea, so sorry to hear your latest project is causing you such woes!

Some quick observations from here:

Positives: My Panasonic DMP-BDT220 loaded up the disc just fine, immediately recognising it as a BD disc. The loading screens and main menus appeared without a fault. When I play the movie, it plays and navigates smoothly so I have no problem enjoying the excellent restoration.

Negatives: The audio menu is unresponsive, and after I click down a few options it gives up altogether and flips back to the main menu. As a result I couldn't access the commentary this way. Similarly, the chapter menu is unresponsive and when I finally accessed the second screen it locked up altogether, necessitating a restart of the machine (a first for this player!)

It's a pity that MultiACVHD's authoring and menu structure seem to be less compliant than they should be - it's a nice enough tool, and I frequently use its playlist merging feature to author multi-part discs (without menus). Contacting the author might help to iron out these issues.

On a side note, I admit I was a little surprised to see the modern MGM logo at the start - not only is is anachronistic, but they weren't even the theatrical distributor (that being AVCO Embassy according to IMDB). If you should happen to go to a V2, might I politely suggest its removal or substitution?
