How to make DVD/Menu auto play in standalone and PC.

[jeffshead]

I have a DVD that has 6 episodes and a basic menu. When I put the DVD in a stand alone or PC, nothing happens until I push play. Then the 1st episode plays, then each episode continues to play till the end. The menu never pops up unless I hit the menu button on the remote. The menu is very basic with a pic for each episode and a name. You are able to click on a pic and it will play that episode. I was told the disc was authored using professional stand alone equipment. Not a PC.

??? What I want to do is make it so the menu auto plays when the DVD is inserted. Then the user can select which episode to play. When it finishes playing, I want the next episode to play without going back to the menu.

I have searched and searched and tried different things from posts that were related to similar issues, but nothing has worked.

??? Is there a simple way to reauthor the DVD without reencoding?
I tried using Infoedit, but I don’t know what the h*ll I’m doing. I compared info with other DVD's and found there is no PGC Command Table or Pre Command's such as JumpTT in the VIDEO_TS.IFO

Here is a pic which shows the list of files on the DVD:





??? Will one of you pros tell me what to look for and change in Infoedit?
I will be most gratefull!!

Use PGCEdit and put your own Jump command in to go to either the menu, or a title of your choice.

Here are a couple of guides to take you through it

Yahoo!!

I was able to use PgcEdit, ImgBurn, and ImgTool Classic to make all my DVD's auto play the title menu when inserted. No coasters!

Thanks again guns1inger for the links. I was so happy I sent donations to the authors.
