ok people, bare with me for just a few more hours...
shortly after my last post I had a power outage here and my first attempt at authoring the BD failed miserably. the second and third attempts were massive failures, as the menus were not set up properly and froze every time I attempted to view the "titles" menu. now, I'm on my fourth attempt and I think I finally have it figured out. Then I will burn another disc to make sure it works rite and "ta-da!", we will have a release ;o)
