I have a non commercial DVD with some episodes of a cartoon.
The problem is that as soon as an episode ends, the DVD takes you back to the menu and you have to choose the following episode in order to see it.
This is quite annoying and makes an hell skipping episodes.
I want to merge them into one VTST, like they where chapters of one big movie and I'm going to do it with "create new cell" command.
But the opening title belongs to VTST 1 (1:07 in the picture) , while the episodes and the ending titles are in VTST 2, and one episode, VTST 3,1 is at the end, the command "create new cell" lets me pick existing cells only in the same VTST!
This DVD is a mess, how can I move the opening title and VTST 3 to VTST 2???
Can someone help me?
In Pgcedit it looks like:

Well, unless you redo completely the authoring, it is not possible to move one title from one titleset to another with PgcEdit.
But you should be able to jump from the post commands of the opening scene to the 'play all' title in VTST 2, and then to the last title in VTST 3.
You will need to create several new dummy PGCs in the VMGM to be able to bounce from one VTS to another via these new PGCs, because you cannot jump directly from a VTST domain to another.

- Creates 2 PGCs in the VMGM
- Change the last post command of Title 1 to jump to the first new dummy PGC with a CallSS-VMGM-pgc command.
- From this dummy, jump to your new play all title in VTST 2 with a JumpTT command.
- From the post commands of the play all title, jump to the 2nd. dummy PGC in the VMGM.
- From this 2nd. dummy, jump to Title 6.

Note that it is probably easier to use the Create 'Play All' PGC function to create the PGC with titles 2-7 than modifying a new dummy PGC. You will only have to remove the cells pertaining to title 8.

Your problem is more complex, but have a look at this idea (http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=60724).

Hope this is of some use.
