Good work! It looks like what I’m doing but I’ll study it some more. Regarding play-all, maybe its player dependent because on my Sharp BR during actual DVD playback play-all the screen goes black 4 to 6 seconds between chapters (granted, maybe I’m doing something else wrong). The individual chapter selections worked fine. It is a bummer when the actual video content isn’t songs where discontinuity is acceptable, but speakers where it has to be continuous. Once, when the videos weren’t too long, I imported each timeline twice into Encore (must use different names), and I used one for chapters and one for play-all. That work-around allowed the play-all to work smoothly.

I only did 2 bands and three songs each for the test but should work with any number of bands and songs, here are the steps... I first created a Main Menu with a Play All, and a Button for each band. Then Created Sub menus for Band A and Band B with buttons on each for each one of the respective songs and a return to Main Menu button. Next I added a chapter point for each song on the timeline. Then I created 3 playlists, the first included all the songs chapters, named it Play All, then a playlist that include all the songs for each band, Called them Band A Play All and Band B Play All. On the Main Menu linked the Play All button to the Play All playlist and the Band buttons to their respective Sub menus. On each Band Sub menu page linked the Play All button to the respective Band Play All playlist and each song button to its chapter point on the timeline. Then I put and end action on each Chapter point, If it was a Band A song chapter it went to the Band A Sub menu, Band B song chapters end action went to the Band B Sub menu. I think that was it. One thing that does happen, when previewing and playing a playlist the playback on the preview does stall for a just a second but on the actual burned DVD no such stall occurs, it just plays back smooth through the chapter points as if they don't exist. Also I have noticed in the external preview monitor that graphics do look somewhat degraded or blocky when previewing but again no such degradation in the final burned DVD. Hope this helps.

Imagine having a video of, say, a concert consisting of 3 artists each doing 10 pieces. You want to put that on a DVD. You want a top level menu with four buttons, 3 for the artists and 1 as a play entire concert. You want three sub-menus, 1 for each artist with a button for each song plus that artist's play-all. The user should be able to play either the entire concert, or only the works of a single artist, or only a single song of a given artist. When a single song is completed, the DVD should display the sub-menu with the next song highlighted. But if that same song is played from a play-all button it has to go immediately to the next song. Naturally there will be motion backgrounds/audio on each submenu and the top level menu. Finally I figured something usable(but had to accept a few compromises). It is so complicated that I cannot remember how to do it, therefore I had to make a diagram depicting all the connections one has to make. I haven't seen how to do this in a help file or a video tutorial. If you screw up ever so subtly with a wrong EA between the timeline, playlists, or button links, the single song buttons may work but not the play-all's, or the play-all buttons may work but not the singles, or there will be a long delay between play-all items; that is, play-all won't play as if it is a single video file. I don't think I ever got everything to work perfectly!

Yes, to learn how to simply burn a DVD is not all that involved but if you get to more advanced things like button routing, chapter playlists, subtitle colours etc., one surely needs a bit more time than that, at least I would. And yes, everything one knows is easy :-) Uwe > I learned Encore via YouTube tutorials in a couple of hours, its quite > simple when you know what's what :-) > > Neil. > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
