DVDLab Pro Menu Control ?

[pchan]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to create a menu with such flow.

1. Video 1 (once finish playing -> Return to Menu)
2. Video 2 (once finish playing -> Return to Menu)
3. Video 3 (once finish playing -> Return to Menu)
4. Play Video 1,2,3 (once finish playing -> Return to Menu)

Need help to setup the flow control. (Edit)

Many thanks.

You can play one or more individual chapters and return to a menu by using a chapter play list:

Setup each Movie's end point to return to the menu. This will allow each movie to return to the menu that called it. To play all together, add a PlayList. Open the properties of the playlist and add the first chapter of each movie. Then set the endpoint of the playlist to return to the menu.

Thanks Lannie,

Will give it a try.

Thanks Lannie,

Will give it a try.

I'm at work and going by memory. If the playlist does not let you add chapters from multiple movie files, then you can add 2 playlists. Edit playlist 1 and add chapter 1 from movie one, then edit playlist two and add chapter 1 from movie two. Tell each playlist to return to the menu.

Movie three is already set to return so no playlist is needed for it, simply link to it's chapter 1.

You can also do it with a "PlayAll" button.

Thanks reboot & Lannie.

Here is Menu.

Is this OK ?

[reboot]

Should work.

When I try to compile, DVDLab complaint that playlist need a VMG Menu to be DVD compliant. So I add a dummy VMG menu, but when I select the Play All, it shows a blank screen and I need to press the play button in order to start the movie.

Is there any setting skip the blank screen and go straight to the movie ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

On the VMG menu, make one link, invisible always, timeout 0, autoaction, and link it to the playlist.

hi reboot,

Thanks for the helpful advise.

I am able to create a link between VMG Menu and Playlist. But couldn't locate where to edit - invisible always, timeout 0, and autoaction.

[reboot]

Put a text link inside the VMG menu.
Make it invisible all, etc...
This acts the same as pushing play on your remote.

Thanks reboot.

That's FAST !

hi reboot,

I have tried it. It pauses at the blank screen and I need to press play to start the movie. I must have missed something. Anywhere to set it to play immediately ?

Thanks.

Edit - typo error.

Make sure it's set to autoaction and timeout of 0.

Many thanks to reboot and LSchafroth. You guide me through. You guys are super ! I really appreciate your help.

My next step is to have 2 groups of videos. I have completed the Bionicles and will add another one and create a main menu branching into these 2 groups.
