I've used the Jump2Pgc feature in PgcEdit numerous times to bypass warning messages, etc. to jump to main dvd menu.

However, can you use this Jump2Pgc macro to also skip playback of things that happen after the dvd menu loads? I'm making a backup of a DVD5 that after the menu loads, and you hit play, two different movie trailers play along with some really long and annoying "Coming Soon To Blah Blah" messages. I'd like to bypass those altogether.

You can do that in PgcEdit. The easiest way is to do a Kill Pgc Playback (Ctrl-K) of the titles you don't wanna see. This will replace the cells by a new one and copy the postcommands into the precommands section. So the DVD navigation will enter this point, the commands get executed and it moves on to the next pgc. You won't notice anything and you'll have the impression that the title wasn't even there. However, this removes the title. Suppose you wanna keep it (eg. to enter it from within the extra's menu) or the earlier method doesn't go far enough for you and you want to remove the unwanted pgc's completely by making them uncalled (then delete uncalled pgc's), there's a more advanced method. rOLZ wrote an excellent description here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=733015#post733015) (post 4)
That thread is about changing button commands, but the procedure is similar.

This thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=126833) discusses also some issues with the method explained in the thread pointed to by Calimari. But try to understand the method first, and if you have some problems, read the second thread. It can help you, but it is not well organized, and might be confusing as well!
