Is it possible to make prev/next buttons work?

[JN]

I made DVD (using Ulead DVD Movie Factory) from many short videos - many titles with one chapter. In all SW players I've tried, the prev/next chapter buttons won't work. Though they do on my desktop DVD player (Samsung), I assume that this is not standard behavior. Is it possible to make some changes in IFO files or elsewhere to make prev/next chapter buttons work? Thanks.

Actually, for most stand alone players, this is standard behavior. The next/previous buttons skip between chapters in a title, but will not skip between titles. Most remotes have a title button that should do something (don't know what though). My stand alone also has a display button that brings up a kind of toolbar, and I can change between titles with one of the toolbar functions.

If you want to emulate skipping forward through titles, you need to put a tiny chapter a fraction of a second long at the end of each title. Many studio DVDs do that for exactly that reason.

The "Title Button" on the Remote calls the VMG menu in VIDEO_TS.IFO/VOB but as many DVDs are authored without using that menu you're re-directed to the VTSM which is the Root menu in the VTS.

Thats also the reason why many don't know or haven't figured out what it does :)

Follow this guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=69347) by 2COOL to do that. To make the next button work, open your VTS_01_0.IFO, go to VTS_PGCITI and for each VTS_PGC go to the command table, add a post command (right click), double click on it and insert this HEX code:

20 04 00 00 00 00 00 ??

The last byte is the hex value corresponding to the following PGC (if you edit it to 01 for your last PGC, your DVD will play in a loop ;) )
Save your IFO and test your project.
