DVD scripting

[Rosko1702RS]

I am using DVD Architect 4.5.
I am thinking to create a disk that has functionality to 'Play all' (this one is easy) and "Play selected chapters".
The second one I have problem with.
What I'd like to happened when "Play selected chapters" pressed is, for example, play chapters 3, 7, 12 only in that sequence (same title).

Does anyone know how this could be done?

I though script could take care of that but I was not able to figure out the way.

Thanks.

I have not messed with DVD Architect in a long time but i would imagine it must have an option built into it to add what you want to do, i know DVDlabPRO has both those functions available built in.

Have you read the guide/help file for it.

I´m doing this without scripting in DVD Architect.
I just use Playlists.
So your special Chapter link goes to the playlist with these chapters.
You can copy your original videofile as often as you like - it will only be once on the finally DVD.
Good luck.

I know about play lists. But I looks like for each item in it you could only select chapter from which to start. Title is playing from that chapter to the end and only then next item on the play list going to be run.

Am I wrong?

What I'd like to have is to start with, lets say, chapter 3. Then at the end of this chapter play 10.

Thanks

I understand exactly what you are trying to do as i have done the same things in DVDlabPRO......

Again, Have you read the guide/help file for it ?? If these functions are built into the program i'm sure they would be listed there.

DVDLab Pro does this through Chapter playlists. I'm not sure if DVD Architect supports these, or only title playlists.

DVDA does support chapter playlists, but the setup is different than in DLP. For a single "Chapter" from a title, you copy/paste the title onto a menu, and then in the copied timeline, move the Start/End points to identify the section of the video you want. You can slice up a title, and then add the "pieces" to a playlist. In fact (going from memory here), I believe it has more functionality than DLP because you can mix regular Titles with "chapters" from other titles (in DLP the chapter playlist is made up of chapters from the same title).
