Hello people.

I have a single m2v+ac3 asset with chapters. I want to be able to select whether to play complete "movie" from start to finish, or to select a chapter and when this chapter ends to navigate back to "chapters" menu.

I have tried an idea or two but none worked as I expected.

First I told Maestro to return to the menu at the end of a chapter, using the "Chapter End Action" at connections tab. Then I set up a command sequence where I put all chapters one by one in sequence. That worked for "Play One" but didn't worked for "Play All" as it kept bringing me back to the menu, ignoring the next entry in the command sequence.

Then I did it the other way around, I got rid of all "Chapter End Actions" at connections tab and set up different command sequences for each chapter, where I put a "goto chapter" followed by "goto menu" command for every chapter. That worked for "Play All" but not for "Play One" as instead of jumping to the menu at the end of every chapter it just moved on to the next chapter.

Still with me? Any ideas on how I can do that "Play One" - "Play All" thingy in DVD Maestro?
Cheers

You should use Playlists to achieve this

Click on the playlist icon (lower right corner in each movie window) and create a playlist and add specific chapter.
Add as many playlists you want.

Playlists appears as targets in connection window
