  adobe encore commercial question

  Posted by Randall Bigham on December 4, 2007 at 9:12 pm

  i am trying to make an “80’s” dvd. i want it to be equivalent to a saturday morning from the 80’s. i have the cartoons split into sections so i can put 80’s commercials between them. i was wondering if i can have the dvd made so that the commercials are selected at random, but the cartoon segments are not? meaning i still want to have the format as shown:

  cartoon segment-commercial-commercial-commercial-cartoon segment-commercial-commercial-commercial-cartoon segment….

  i want the specific commercial segments to be randomly selected but i still want to adhere to the format above.

  i’m probably asking for a miracle but i still wanna know if it is possible.

  thank you for your time.

  Combine the commercials into one Title with a chapter mark at the start of each commercial. Then in Encore create a Title Playlist to play Cartoon-segment-1 / combined-commercials-1 / Cartoon-segment-2 / etc…

  Burn this to DVD Folders on your hard drive.

  Then open the DVD in PGCedit, and double-click the combined-commercials Title, and for PG Playback, select SHUFFLE (you can select from Sequential / Random / Shuffle). Also change the number for “programs” accordingly to how many additional commercials you want to play.

  Check how it plays in PowerDVD and a Set-top DVD Player…

  Regards,
  George
