Menu or No Menu?

[biospot]

I have a DVD Jukebox and after useing it for several months, I find that all I want on my DVD's is the movie and sound track. I find it a tremendous waste of time and space and besides, I find it's nice to just let the Jukebox cycle through the movies one by one automatically. It's like a movie channel that never ends :)

So... My problem is this. I want to re-author my DVD's so the jukebox will do the following.

1. Play all the episodes of a multi-episode (4 - 5 1/2 hour TV shows typically) DVD in order (with no menu), and then exit the DVD at the end so the Jukebox will go on to the next disk

2. If (and ONLY if) I push the menu button on the remote, it should exit and go to a standard menu (I use TMPGENC DVD Author).

3. The standard menu needs an additional button to "exit" the disk altogether to the Jukebox will move on to the next DVD.

4. The standard menu needs a button to "play all". I can do this with TMPGENC DVD Author now, but at the end of the "Play All" it goes back to the Menu. I want the play all button to play all the episodes and exit with no further user intervention

I think I will have to manually edit the "pre" and "post" DVD commands, and maybe others. I understand that this isn't common but I want the Jukebox to play all 400 movies then start over again. I want 6-700 hours of streaming continuous movies (and no menus).

Can anybody help me?

You want to watch roughly 28 days straight of movies?

OK in TMpgenc DVD author set the first play option to play all tracks, but still have your menu. That will give you part of point 1, and all of point 2.

cant help you with the rest.

You have to do it in IfoEdit after you authored the disc before burning. If you don't know what I'm talking about, use Search and read the guides.

2. That's standard TMPGEnc DVD Author functionality.

3. As a last title of of each disc, add 1 second long blank clip and call it "Exit" in the menu.

4. See #1.
