Hey forum,
Whenever I author BDs, I tend to set the main film MO like this:
(code to setup audio and subtitles based on GPRs)
PlayPLatMK FEATURE (GPR)ChapterIntent
(reset ChapterIntent to 0 so that if the viewer starts the
film again, it begins from the top instead of the last accessed chapter)
JumpTitle TopMenu (or end copyright warning, etc)
Of course, in the FirstPlay MO I set some GPRs up, and make sure ChapterIntent is set to 0 on startup.
Whereas Scenarist, if you use its automated functions, has a more complicated setup which has two separate blocks of code, one of which detects whether or not "ChapterJump" is on, and if it is, goes to a a "PlayPLatMK" line, but if not, does a simple "PlayPL".
Has anyone found any advantage to how Scenarist does it?
