  • Navigation Issues-PLEASE HELP

    Posted by Lbrites on February 15, 2006 at 2:53 pm

    I’m authoring a DVD wich contains music videos. One of my menus has an index of the musics, and I have the “Play all” button as well. When you want to see a specific music,you obviously go to the music index. By the end of that music, when you choose it from the list, I want the video to stop and come back to the music index. So far,so good. But when I watch the music, and I try to go to the next one, the NEXT CHAPTER button does not function, because I’m working with several timelines, wich contain only one chapter. How can I solve this navigation problem? Is there any solution? This is probably very easy to fix, but I just can’t figure it out…I apreciate the help

    It would appear to me that this would be a next title rather than next chapter….I know my DVD remote at home lets me search by chapter, or by title…since this is another timeline, then it is definately not simply another chapter.

    What version are you using?

    I’m using Encore 1.5

    I know that probably some experienced DVD users can navigate through the application, and that some DVD players have the “Next Title” button. But how can I predict this situation? I haven’t worked with version 2.0, but it seems to me that this is a feature that Encore should have.

    Thanks a lot for the quick replies

    I think with 1.5, if you want the next chapter button to function as the timeline end action, you have to insert a “secret” chapter point at the very end each timeline.

    yes, chapter at end of timeline – beware, some dvd players will go to the next timeline regardless of how you have the DVD programmed. I have been told on this board that Encore 2.0 fixes that problem, but have not tried it yet.

    that’s what I thought…I’ve tried it,but I didn’t like the solution. The transition was too rough. Thanks for the help, anyway!
