Adding remote nav commands durring DVD video playback?

[Scav2003]

I have a dvd made up of several music videos. In the VIDEO_TS folder, each is it's own seperate VTS vob.

When the DVD plays, it plays each video in sequence so when #1 finishes, 2 begins, then 3, then it loops back to the beginning. This is set up by the authoring software.

(used Toast, with continuous play option on)

I'd like to make it so when the next or previous buttons are pressed on the remote, the video jumps to the appropriate video.

On the PC side, I was looking at DVDReMake which seems to be a full editor, but this question at a forum for it pointed me to DVDShrink/PGCedit with a plugin, which while giving me the navigation i wanted, got rid of the DVD menu.

So, I'm back on the Mac side, where maybe someone can tell me a) if what I want to do is possible and b) point me in the direction I need to go to get it to work.

the soft to modify DVD is mydvdedit on mac (but you must know first how dvd are made to modify it...)

myDVDedit won't do it per the programmer

I've learned actually, how in part, to do this in DVDRemake on the PC side.

It is certainly not an easy process

not fully agree with Jerôme, you can "easily " jump to next track but not to previous

- initialize a register to something at launch time/first play (R"toto" == 0)
- in each VTS, select the PGC->cells, delete every chapters (you just want one chapter, the one you will create).
create a Chapter one second before end of the PGC (last cell).
(in the post command) set the register to (a number), with a jump to title menu (eg: Rtoto==2).
--
for each VTS, do the same but increment the number (R"toto" ==3, ...)
--
in the menu title, set a condition (in the pre-command): if Rtoto=1 jump to VTS 1; else if Rtoto=2 jump to VTS 2; ...
--
each next key on your remote, will go to the end of the current track and jump to the next VTS

It was just the theory (and it works, but my syntax is probably not accurate).
In fact/conclusion: this is long and boring, very painful to handle (and you can make a lot of errors during this) so... extract each track and make a new authoring
