Hello

I have created a DVD with Pop Videos on it.
On my menu I have play all which plays the whole thing.
I also have a song index which takes the user to another menu. This second menu lists all the songs.
So in effect you can choose which song you want to play.

In the whole movie I have created chapter points for each song. However when one song finishes I want it to go back to the song index menu. But it just keeps playing till the end of the movie. How can I get my menu to go to the desired chapter play that song and then go back to the menu???

I've thought about editing each song as a single title. So I'll have say 12 mini movies. Is there an easier way.

It's a bit like having a DVD where it plays all episodes of a series and there is an option to select individual episodes.

Don't know if I'm making any sense here.

I am using adobe encore DVD 1.5. Can this be done???

Many thanks

Mark

A simpler solution would be to set a cell command at the end of each chapter (if a chapter consists of more than 1 cell then set the cell command on the last cell of the chapter). If your menus are in the VMG, set it to CallSS .... TitleMenu, otherwise CallSS.....RootMenu.

Can this be done in encore? don't know never used it. If it can't make your DVD as now, and then post edit it in PGCEdit, and add the cell commands there
