Whatever name TDA has for it, the devices (WinDVD and ILO DVDR) call
it Title Menu. I have to use the "Title" key on the remote for the
DVDR - the "Menu" key won't work at all. There is no entry under "Root
Menu" in WinDVD - it's empty.

I am aware of that.

It allows me to select among the various titles.

My problem is that I have to use the Title key on the ILO remote
because I do not have it programmed into my main remote since I have
never had to use it. With ordinary DVDs, the Menu key works.

I think this is a bug that came about because the Japanese do not
understand how people use their remotes. But I can live with it - I
will have to mark the discs to remind me to use the original remote
with the Title key. It would have been so much simplier if the
developer had just done it right from the outset.
