Need Command Sequence help in Maestro

[jackburton]

Hello. Using Maestro, and I'm familiar with all the baisc options, and then some. But this is what I would like to do. My disc will have 4 short movies which can be selected from the main menu. Buttons 1, 2 3 and 4. When any of these are selected, it will play that one movie, and then return to the main menu. The navigation for those is simple enough. But I want to add a 5th button - a "Play All" button which will run through all 4 movies w/o any user interaction, before returning to the main menu, after the 4th one is done of course.

I believe this can only be done with Command Sequences, but that is what my problem is. I'm sure this this would be a very simple script, but I'm not sure where to start. If possible, PLEASE be specific and provide all the info I would need to create these Command Sequences from scratch, and explain how to add the commands properly. Or, if there is another method that can achieve this, then please let me know about that as well.

Thank You

Well actually it is a simple script to write and it will work properly on Maestro's simulation but as u will discover it wont work on a standalone, at least to mine, an Affrey LD1020, nor to PowerDVD.

I would suggest another approach.

Put all your m2vs in the same timeline, add the chapters as needed and use the create sync audio to merge the audio files in one. That would produce a composite video and audio.

Create 4 playlists. Each one would only contain the chapters for each movie.

Each playlist is treatable as a single movie so u can jump to main menu upon completion by setting the last chapter end option in each playlist, but if u select the play all option u link to the 1st chapter of the movie and u have a serial play of all of them.

As for the creation of the command sequences there r detailed threads in the forum.
