  I have a question about DVD lab Pro’s LABtalk.

  I’m a somewhat newbie to authoring. I’ve used Encore before but never a program as rich as DVD lab Pro.

  I’m using the 30 day trial because I need to do some custom scripting. Now in looking through the “Help guide” I saw that the it can use a variance of the BASIC language through the LABtalk feature. I’d like to know several things:

  1- Is it stable?
  2- How complex can my programming be?
  3- Will programs written with LABtalk work on a set top DVD player?
  4- If Yes to 1 & 3, are there any in depth step-by-step tutorials to work with?

  Let me give you an idea of what I’m trying to do.

  ———————————————
  Imagine you work for a grocery chain and they give you a DVD with training videos.
  You pop in the dvd and are presented with a the following menu which allows you to
  create a playlist of only the videos that you want to see:

  1- Meats
_ Beef _Pork _Chicken _None

  2- Fruits
  _Apples _Oranges _Pears _None

  3- Vegetables
_ Tomatoes _Lettuce _ Onions _ None

  -- Generate & Play videos --

  In each of the section you select one subject or none
  and they at the end of your selection the system will
  generate a playlist that will play only the subjects you
  selected.

  1- Meats
X Beef _Pork _Chicken _None

  2- Fruits
  _Apples _Oranges _Pears XNone

  3- Vegetables
_ Tomatoes XLettuce _ Onions _ None

  -- Generate & Play videos --

  Playlist = {Beef movie + Lettuce movie}

  —————————————————————–

  Can something like this function in a regular DVD player?

  If so, can someone help me out with the programming or at least point me in the right direction?
