Relinking DVD authored with tmpg dvd

[lpn1160]

Have searched around a bit and was unable to find a solution to this question. Authoring a dvd with 2 or more VTS in tmpg dvd author gives you the choice of selecting "play all" or play an individual track. If one selects to play an individual track, what happens is after that track finishes the main menu comes back on so one can select the next track or "play all".Thats fine, what I would like to do is (in ifoedit) is re-link the VTS's: for example, if I select to play track 3, as an end action to it's last chapter, I would like track 4 to start playing, with of course an option to hit the menu button to go back to the main menu.
In dvd maestro one can select an end action for the last chapter of a track to go directly to the next (or any title from that point)
How can I edit the ifos to do this with a ifos that were created with tmpeg dvd author
Thanks in advance for any links to threads guides or answer

Have a look at this guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61238) I did when I was using DVD Shrink. I'd say it's the same concept even if I haven't tried it with TMPGenc DVD Author. What you need to look for is in the post commands of each PGC Title and see which GPreg is being set before it goes back to the root menu. It needs to match the same as your Pre Command's GPreg. I hope this works for you.

Maybe you can post one of your Title's PGC Command Tables so I can analyze it. Use the copy2clipboard button in IfoEdit and paste into thread. Just delete out the other stuff. I just need the PGC Command Table.

Thanks for the quick reply. You gave me some great food for thought.
I can can take a few short clips author them both in maestro, then tmpeg dvd and exam the ifo to see where the pre & post commands differ. (I think that will work) Will let you know the results
Thanks again
