Same menu in different languages with DVD Maestro

[superfresko]

Hello everybody!

I have my favourite TV Series, with both the English and the Italian audio tracks.

I'm trying to author with DVD-Maestro DVDs with 4 episodes each, with both the audio tracks, in the following way:
- At the beginning (First Play) the menu let you chose the language: English or Italian.
- Then a Menu comes out with the titles of the four episodes, in the language you have chosen.
- When you play one of the episodes, you hear the language you chose at the beginning.
- Anyway, you can change language during playback.
- During playback (or at the end of playback), regardeless of the audio track you are listening to, you go back to the menu with episode titles in the language you chose at the beginning. And here is the problem.

I've read the manual, and managed to do something similar. My only question is: how can I make the DVD Player "remember" which language was chosen so that, when playing an episodes, pressing Title/Menu buttons it goes back to the menu with titles in the language I chose at the very beginning, even though I changed audio stream during playback?

I mean, something like Star Trek TNG or DS9 Region 2 DVDs: at the beginning you chose the language, and then all the menus are in the language you chose, even though during episode playback you can change audio track.

I hope I explained myself...

Thanks for any help!

Bye bye,
Massi.

Just a thought.

Can you:

• create a dummy title menu with 2 invisible auto action buttons
• make the buttons go to the appropriate menu (english/Italian)
• use "Button Pre-Selection" in the advanced tab (page 6-79 in my copy of the manual)

My guess is that this menu would send the user to the appropriate menu depending upon the current audio selection.

One step further: there are some DVDs that start playing in the language you set in your DVD player, no need to choose at start, just set your player to the language you want and the DVD will start and play everything in that language (if available), and you still can change the audio when playing the episodes. Don't know if you can get that from Maestro but I think it should be able to create such a DVD.
