Ok, im using DVDMaestro to reauthor my menus, if ive got say 3 movie streams as one m2v, can i set chapter points so that once u press a button it jumps to a certain point, say the start of video 2, then when the video has finished playing it will stop and jump back to a menu rather than carry on till the whole streams finished?

Sorry if my question isnt very clear, youll get the gist of it when u read hopefull ;)

under View Connections (right click on project name in tree) you can set the end action for each chapter, other way to do it is to make a individual VTS for each.

For a similar reason I tried to set "chapter end action"... in Maestro
Works very nice in the navigation simulator, but e.g. with PowerDVD nothing!!!
So far the only place where the "chapter end action" works for me is the
last chapter of a movie.
I tried with the standalone compiler, because I had other problems where Maestro just didn't compile right, but it didn't help.
Any other ideas?
Does it work in Scenarist?

Cheers

I just burned a DVD with my project and even though it didn't
work with PowerDVD it works on my standalone... at least!!!

But I still don't get it why it doesn't work everywhere...

Hi,

then (your) PowerDVD is crap, try an update. It works ALWAYS with me. Doing a lot of 'Menuwork' with chapters (fade in/out, etc.). Chapter End Action is an essential feature of DVD authoring and works well with Maestro.

NO, I didn't. I've heared a few interesting things about it, may be an alternative. Do they look for quality testers ??? Than gi'me a PM ;-).
