np =) thank you for still watching this post ok so the thing is: my DVD project works great now!! I have instead of using GPRM to jump back to my MainSubMenu2 written "CallSS RSM=1, MainSubMenu2" in the post command at each of my clips in the MainSubMenu2 ("Extras") and the when a clip has ended the project returns to the Extras-menu

but the thing is; I got one more submenu which I have created ("Episode Selection") where the user can play his/her episodes and there after watching one episode the project returns to the MainSubMenu1 ("Episode Selection") without me changing anything (I haven't written the Call command in this menus titles Post Command Editor but it still works) so my question to you was how could this happen? I have compared MainSubMenu1 and MainSubMenu2 and there is nothing different between them (ofcourse ..Menu2 has my Call comand and ...Menu1 works as fine as Menu2 but doesn't include any Call commands )

regards

P.S. I have now as said downloaded the newest version of GfD (1.07) and the automaticly shrink and Total Size counter in the left menu works much better then in my previous verion 1.04 (don't know if you remember me writing a post where I asked why the Total Size and shirk don't work so good), I haven't seen at the "history" on your site that you have updated this bugg, so I think that there was something wrong with mine version (computer) of GfD...anyway the bugg is fixed!!
EDITED: Ah now i saw that you have answered my thread SUP... on the subtitle forum and that my animated menus where the cause of the differens between Total Size and the originall size...maybe I just don't have so much of the animated manus now and therefor the Total Size caunter caunts better

...(I haven't written the Call command in this menus titles Post Command Editor but it still works)

As mentioned, GfD automatically adds a 'CallSS RSM=1, MainSubMenuX' (X is the MainSubmenu where you have added the movie by drag&drop) in each titles post command section.
There are two exceptions: You have written an own post command for the title in the Video and audio files dialog, or you have created titlesetmenus and set the default end action in the project default settings to return to the titlesetmenu.

thanks for answering borax! ...

ah Yes I have set the "End of title and titleset" to "return to the titlesetmenu" but isn't titelset menu what I want to return to ?? Isn't titelsetmenu my "MainSubMenu2 (/1/3)" ??..And mainMenu is the first menu where I have created my submenus right?

maybe I should write more specificly what I have done on each submenu...

MainSubMenu2 (Extras):

1). Changed the title-button-actions from "JumpSS vts_X, vts_ttn_1: RootMenu" to just "JumpSS vts_X, vts_ttn_1" (where X is my film number)

2). In the audio+video pre/post command editor I have inserted CallSS RSM=1, MainSubMenu2 in the post command because when my clikp ended the program didn't return to MainSubMenu2

MainSubMenu1 (Episode Selection):

1). Just changed the pre-command in the audio+video in every titel to:

SetSTN subpicture=5:OFF
Mov GPRM4, 1
if ( GPRM4 == GPRM5 ) SetSTN subpicture=1:ON
Mov GPRM4, 2
if ( GPRM4 == GPRM5 ) SetSTN subpicture=2:ON
Mov GPRM4, 3
if ( GPRM4 == GPRM5 ) SetSTN subpicture=3:ON
Mov GPRM4, 4
if ( GPRM4 == GPRM5 ) SetSTN subpicture=4

that's all...and MainSubMenu1 do return to itself while a clip ends but MainSubMenu 2 doesn't return to itself when a clip ends AND I don't have the Call command...(I have as said set return to titelsetmenu in the default project settings)

But maybe this project went that wrong because I made it in version 1.04 and then OPENED it in version 1.06 which as you said set the Call commands automaticly in each menus but now 1.04 "ereased" them

cheers michcio

No. The default logic for returning to the Mainmenu/MainSubmenu has changed, but that's only valid if you haven't specified any user post command in the titles.
...Isn't titelsetmenu my "MainSubMenu2?
No. As you have activated 'Use titlesets' in the default settings which is ok, but probably not necessary as you do not use them (it is necessary if the videos do not have the same properties as resolution, aspect ratio...). If you look at the project explorer, you will see a titlesetmenu (TitleSet1Menu, TitleSet2Menu...) for each title (video) you have added anywhere on the Mainmenu/MainSubmenus. These are usually used for chapter selection, language selection... for each title individually.
Technically the MainMenu/Mainsubmenus correspond to the VMGM domain and the Titlesetmenus are the VTS domain (as you can see in pgcedit).
As you want a 'global' subtitle selection for all videos, these is better done in the mainmenu/mainsubmenus. As you do not use the titlesetmenus (they are empty except the back button), they are not created during 'Create DVD' and the button commands 'JumpSS vts_X, vts_ttn_1...' are replaced by a JumpTT TitleSetX_Title1 (direct jump to the title, not the menu). In this case you should use the option 'Main menu' as 'End action for Titles and Titlesets' because the titlesetmenus are not used. The default logic for this setting (no user specified post command in the titles) since version 1.06 is the following:
If you add the film directly on the MainMenu, the film will return to the MainMenu after playing.
If you add the film directly on any MainSubMenuX, the film will return to this MainSubMenuX after playing.
Using version 1.04 the film will return to the MainMenu after playing even if the film was added on MainSubmenuXX.

Any problem left?

but hm..so you mean when I have a TitelSetMenu without anything in the menu (except the back button) then I should have the "Main menu" selected at the "End action" in the default settings (because I don't use any titlesets) ? But in my MainSubMenu1 where I got my Episode selection I don't use my TitelSetsMenus either and I got "TitelSet" set in the end action in default options but there GfD returns to my MainSubMenu1 .. why?

just one little question think I have asked this before... how did you create the whole GfD program? If I would like to make a help program that for example uses both FitCD an HCEnc and which read an .avi file and then make an .avs with FitCD and convert it to a .m2v in HCEnc automaticly (just in one program). Would making such a program be difficult or not ?

cheers and thanks!!!!

Because no Titlesetmenus are used. The problem is more why it doesn't return to your MainSubMenu2 if the videos are added there.

...how did you create the whole GfD program
With Visual Basis 6.0. But I would not learn it today (either C or vb.net).
...Would making such a program be difficult or not ?
No, not really difficult. That't something which can easily be made with a scripting language like AutoIt.

...The problem is more why it doesn't return to your MainSubMenu2 if the videos are added there.

yeah exactly!! that's really weird...(MainMenu1 returns as it should so as you said the problem lays in MainSubMenu2)...but nvm the main thing is that everything works and I'm done with my project ...thank you for all your help!!

With Visual Basis 6.0. But I would not learn it today (either C or vb.net).

ok, cool so you can C as well..I'm learning java atm but have heard that these two languages are very alike :

No, not really difficult. That't something which can easily be made with a scripting language like AutoIt.

cool! will download AutoIt then and learn the script I hope it's not to complicated and big

cheers and BIG THANKS!!

[michcio]

wow I have downloaded AutoIt read half of the tutorials and made my first programs and I really like it...it's really easy and the script is not so complicated

thank you borax!
