    I am trying to create a dynamic menu.
    I want to have 8 titles
    I want to give the user the ability to select any number of titles and play them. also be able to sort them in any order before playing. Kind of a on the fly playlist. I currently own Power director10 but it has very little advance menu functions. I do a little programing so if need be I can script something just don’t know what software to get. thanks for any help with this.

    You’ll need an advanced authoring tool like DVDSP, DVDLab or Scenarist for the scripting. Tons of ways to do this and some are better then others ..Here’s a tutorial:

    SONY DVD Architect is very apt to do what you are asking. I use it exclusively for DVD and BD. You can add a chapter page accessible from the main menu.

    DVDA doesn’t provide any scripting capabilities which is what would be required to provide the amount of possible combinations for 8 tracks

    Undoubtedly correct. I produce domestic products so scripting is way down there close to the bottom for me. Sorry. Just an uninformed suggestion. My bad.
