DVD Lab Pro - Play Chapter and return to menu

[SCDVD]

I am getting ready to author a DVD with DVD Lab Pro. It will have a number of chapters. I want the DVD to play a selected chapter and then return to the menu without continuing to the next chapter. Is there any trick to that?

Chapter Playlists are the solution. They are covered in the manual. Add a CPL for each chapter, drop the chapter into it, and then link to it like any other title. You can then do anything you like at the end of it.

If I use Chapter Playlists for this, will the DVD play in a normal manner when a Play All function is selected? That is, will the video advance from chapter to chapter without returning to the menu? I only want it to return to the menu when a specific chapter is selected from the menu.

Link Play All to the beginning of the title, not a chapter playlist.

Link the scene selection menu,if you have one, to the chapters in the title for normal chapter playback (i.e. start at the chapter and play through to the end of the title)

Link the Play Once buttons to the chapter playlists to get only one chapter to playback

Thanks guns1inger. You saved me a lot of time.
