hey,
i did a search but i couldnt find anything relating to this so i hope i didnt miss it and i hope im posting in the right section. I am making a music dvd with lots of music video clips of different bands and i was wondering if i could implement a random function into the dvd menu itself that would play these videos in a random order or would i have to use the random button on the dvd player itself. if this is the only way i could do it what would b the best way to author the dvd, with each song/video as a title or chapter.
if anyone could shed some light on this it would b much appreciated,

cheers

There should be some threads on this, 'cause I know I've answered before (and so have others). Look for "shuffle" or "random" in this and the advanced section.
DVD's have 3 methods of random play. 2 are done by the player itself by making the PGC either a random or shuffle PGC. Random may repeat a selection, wheareas shuffle will play all before repeating any. The third method is with pre, post, or cell commands and using the rnd function.
