Hello,

I'm using Scenarist to author a BD with a dozen clips, and I need to play them both sequentially and individually, according to menu selection (the top menu has one button to play the entire playlist and a series of buttons to play individual clips). So I've created a playlist, but I cant' find a way to play only one clip and then return to the top menu.

If I use the PlayPLatPI command I can start playback on a certain clip, but then the player would continue playing until the end of the playlist. Also, I can't create a playlist for each clip and then chose which to play with nav commands, because a movie object can't reference more than one playlist.

So far the only solution I've found is to create an HDMV title (and a MO and playlist) for each clip, plus another title to play the entire playlist. This works, but I'm wondering if there is a more elegant way to accomplish the task.

Could someone help me? Thanks.

The way you found is the way to do it... (Multiple HDMV Titles, each one with one of the clips in it, and one title with all of them in it.)

Thanks for your help. I've completed the project and it works as expected.
