I have created a project via Pinnacle Studio 9 then burned project to harddrive. My project goes for 2 hours and is of school concert performance. There are 30 songs of performances so I created a menu that has a Play All or Song Selection option.

Simple first menu (Menu 1) has two chapters only. Chapter one is start of concert which is song 1 (called Play All) and Chapter 2 is called Song Selection and is linked to a second menu (Menu 2) where there are 12 chapters (or songs) for individual selection. As I was having trouble creating a second and third page I created Menu 3 which has the next 12 songs (or chapters) and Menu 4 that has the balance.

Menus 2,3 & 4 all have Return to Menu flag on them so after a song you select is finished it goes back to that particular menu to choose another. Problem is when I use Menu 1 to PLAY ALL it gets to the end of the first song and returns to the menu (it obviously does not know it is in menu 1 and not one of the others that have instructions to return to menu).

I was told to use Ifoedit to fix this up and was directed to instructions and screen images at
http://davetong.tripod.com/PlayAll/

My question is, if this is the easiest way to do this, what is the reference to under Post Command line to "Change the value from 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 to 71 00 00 08 00 01 00 00 This is the code to set the content of register 8 to 1. I chose 8 because it wasn't being used anywhere else in the DVD - it's up to you to verify if it's safe to use in yours. Just change the 08 to a different value in this and all subsequent edit commands."

Does this mean because I have 32 chapters or PGC 32 the number 8 has been used and I use 33 instead of 8?

Why don't you use PgcEdit's Play All function? You have just a function to call to create a new PGC with all cells, already organized in chapters.
Also, PgcEdit is easier than IfoEdit to edit the VM commands.

Thanks r0lZ, if this will play all from menu 1 and return to menus of other menus as described below sounds good to me. I have PgcEdit how do I use it for this?

Go to the domain where your titles are. From PgcEdit (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html) - Title --> New Play All Title.

Then change the commands to go to that new title.

Save.
