Jump straight to loop / highlight menu point in DVDMaestro?

[Luxo]

The main menu on a disc I'm authoring in Maestro plays through some logos for 15 seconds and then runs smoothly into the main menu. I've set the end state of the menu to Loop and set the loop point to 15 seconds into the video. The menu works fine.

Now, how do I get back to the menu at the loop point from somewhere else on the disc? For instance, when playing a movie I want to be able to hit the Title menu button and return to the main menu, not see the 15 seconds of logos again. I can't seem to get this to work.

Do I need to create a second menu that is basically a clone of the main menu from the loop point on? Thanks for the help.

Yes, you have those two alternatives:
- create a new menu, in other PGC or other cell inside same PGC
- set a chapter point at the end of the logo (I don't know if with dvdmaestro is possible, scanarist can do it). Well, this is really to put a new cell (program) inside same PGC.

Using commands you can point at one menu or at the other one.

I think you cannot do that with Maestro (like you could do in Scenarist) so simply made 2 menu, 1 with intro and 1 without intro. Start with the intro menu and set the end action to go to the second menu (without intro). Also point the title menu to the second menu

you cannot do it in regular menus, but you can do it in movie tracks with command sequence.
