  • DVDSP 4 – Scripting assistance needed

    Posted by Tony Pascal on August 25, 2010 at 8:57 pm

    Help please.
    I am working on a DVD that has 6 video tracks.
    With these I also have 14 menus. The viewer is supposed to be able to play just a small portion of the video which I have divided up using chapters and a total of 91 stories, or the entire video. (Video 1, Video 2 etc)
    Where I am running into an issue is that on the very first menu, there is supposed to be a “Play All” option. (Play video 1, then play video 2, then play video 3 etc)
    Each individual video also has a “Play All” option (Play video 1 only)
    If you’re doing the math (91 stories, 6 videos) I am sitting at 97 in total in my project. There is a 99 limit.
    I’m sure there is some sort of scripting that will handle this, I just don’t work with scripts often enough to be able to figure it out on my own.
    Can anyone provide some sort of help?
    I hope this is clear.

    Thanks,
    Tony

    This is a tough one to visualize, so forgive me if I am missing it, but adding one more story for that main Play All button, you could just direct it to the tracks and avoid the other stories.
