VLC Controller-Where are the buttons I need?

hi
just installed VLC version 0.7.0 on my Mac G4 533MHz OS 10.2.8, but
do not see any of the essential DVD buttons(menu, angles, subtitles)
on the Controller. Is there somewhere to select this?

Great player by the way! Solves my problems since I have an external
DVD player and can't install Apple's DVD Player.

Hope someone may enlighten me!

The the DVD in question has no chapters, the video is currently selected, and the DVD has no audio track

What in the hell are you playing?
It cannot be a true DVD. or it is severly unstandard one and you should toss it out the window.

I was playing the demo DVD from "DVD Demystified" by Jim Taylor.
Should be a true DVD...

I agree, those menus are challenging, and you randomly have to guess which of those ones is the DVD Menu. How do I get to the DVD Menu in the first place? It can't be too hard to do a simple GUI implementation...come on!
