Maestro, PowerDVD & Command Sequences problem

[via_lactea]

Hi:

I've created a command sequence that allows you to jump a chapter and go to the next episode when you've selected a certain audio. This is beacuse that audio don't exist for that chapter.

In Maestro's Navigation Simulator this command sequence works:

1 MOV GP0 , SPRM1
2 Jump To CAP_02[#1] if (GP0 = 3) /* If audio=3 then go to next episode */
3 Jump To CAP_01[#5] /* else continue with the next chapter*/


But in PowerDVD this doesn't work so I think this command sequence will not work in any DVD player.

Can you help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

search for similar problems. My expierence is that PowerDVD along with some standalone require a more sophisticated command sequence in order to obey them. I suspect there r prerequistition that r to be met for a command sequence to be executed corectly.

I made the X-files and needed the use of command sequences. However PS2 and Philips 723 recognised them and played them correctly whereas Affrey and PowerDVD didn't.

Moral issue here is that u could be lucky or not.:)

Thank you for your reply.

I'm making a very old anime. The original DVD is only in japanese so I'm adding the dubbed spanish audio from my VHS tapes. The spanish audio didn't dub "In the next episode" scenes and I've wanted to jump these scenes when I select the spanish audio.

Now I'm trying to use Scenarist NT, but I need a very easy guide to learn. The guide in Doom9 starts with all imported and linked.

Anyway, thanks for your help :)

Glad to see that r other people as well that r using audio from vhs tapes to include in their dvds.

I see that u r trying in Scenarist. I would suggest to go for Maestro authoring. Its much simpler and easy to master.

You are right. DVDMaestro is very easy and usefull. I always authoring with Maestro. Now I'm trying Scenarist NT to solve my problems with the command sequences. But Scenarist is a clue for me. :confused:

Well, no problem. I'll use Maestro again and I'll add subtitles in the parts without spanish audio.

Thanks ;)

instead of using command sequences to skip chapters, use a playlist (with the default stream selection to spanish), with only the chapters you want to be played.

hope that helps.

Thanks,Auenf !!!!

Yes, the playlist works perfectly. I don't now why my command sequence only works in Maestro's Simulator, but with the playlist all is right. ;)

Thank you very much for your help!!!! :)
