DVD Lab Pro, Random PLaylist Help!

[scottsgameroom]

Im new to all this and have only just got into DVD Lab Pro!

I am trying to make a Video Jukebox sort of thing. I have fot a few music videos together from various sources and want to be able to simply press a button on the menu and it to play all the clips in a random order.

How can this be done?

DLP has a Random Playlist. Look it up in the help documents that come with DLP. Then come back here if you have specific questions about it.

I am aware of the random playlist function, however this only plays one "song" before going back to the menu! I want it to play all the videos in a random order before returning to the menu!

You will have to do it the hard way by programming the functions yourself. There is probably more around if you search, but here are a few posts at the DLP forums at Mediachance to get you started:

A general discussion on random number generation, with code examples :

This one talks about limited randomness so you don't get repetition when playing back clips from a list :
