MUVE DVD Glitches

I was playing with new-to-me software and happened upon what may be a real publishing boo boo in the MUVE dvds. When I extract the mpg files from the Family Muve and Mellow Muve dvds, I found several routines that were not listed on the line-up menu of either dvd. Think I found as many as 7 such unlisted routines! They may be in the pre-mixes but aren't listed in the lineups so none of them can be chosen individually. Some share the same song title which may have confused their dvd burning company. However, the cast and routines are definitely different. Then there are other songs not listed in the line-ups at all. Mellow and Family do share a couple of identical song routines like Backyard Slack and Locomotion Style yet neither dvd lists another Locomotion Style song routine that is different with different background exercisers and clothing. It is quite confusing so I can understand how the person burning the dvds made possible mistakes.

I am going to watch the hidden routines closely to see if there were possible reasons for not listing them. Son explained sometimes a file on a dvd is left off the menu on purpose and may have been too hard to completely delete from the dvd. Will also keep my eyes open when doing premixes to see if any of them pop up. Stay tuned LOL

ETA: A couple of the unlisted songs were available on the website so maybe that is why they became unlisted if the Lineup menu was limited.
I am finding the unlisted versions of songs in Playlists!
On the Family MUVE dvd, E Komo Mai without scarves is listed in the lineup and is on the Honolulu Wave Short&Sweet Playlist. The unlisted version with scarves is in the Pa'ina Time Short&Sweet, Cheap Thrills Partytime Playlists and Running Wild It's a Workout Playlist.
The listed Get Down is in the Turbo Tunes Short&Sweet Playlist. The unlisted version of Get Down which uses a chair is in the Bustin' MUVES Short&Sweet and Cheap Thrills Party Time Playlists.
The listed Lua Afe is in the Goofy Grooves Short&Sweet Playlist.
The unlisted Lua Afe which uses a chair is in the Turbo Tunes Short&Sweet and Cheap Thrills Party Time Playlists.

On the Mellow Muves dvd, the Nani Ko'olau which uses a chair is not listed on the lineup, not even in the chair lineup! However, it is in the Local motion Small Bites Playlist as well as the Chair Surfing Dance with the Artists Playlist...duh. The listed Nani Ko'olau uses scarves.
The Local Motion Style that is missing from the lineups and has a different cast is in the Mellow Rockin'Steady Small Bites Playlist.
Last but not least, HiLo Hula which is missing from all of the Lineups is in the Mellow Pa'ina Time on the Dance with the Artists Playlist. This same HiLo Hula was completely hidden on the Family dvd, I believe?? Also Li Hing Hula which was listed on the Family dvd but hidden on the Mellow dvd is in this same Mellow Pa'ina Time on the Dance with the Artists Playlist as well as a couple of the longer Playlists where there are more routines to sort through to find it.
PHEW
All hidden files are now accounted for and can be found if you know where to look. Some are even online LOL
Of course, I am probably the only MUVE fan(atic) who bothered to track them all.
