Problems with “next” button….

[David Garrett]

single click on a timeline so that it is highlighted, now look over to the “PROPERTIES” dialog box and click on “operations-SET….All permitted” button. click on this and then select “CUSTOM” in the “Permitted User Operations”. Now just untick the operations that you don’t want the DVD remote to perform, and then click “OK”..

Hope this helps

I have the same problem as Kendell when I built a DVD with Adobe Encore DVD 1.01. I want to use the Skip button in the DVD Player Remote Control to go to the next clip but when I try to do that, the same things happens.

I ususally add a chapter point at the very end of the timeline (or as close as it will let you). That way when someone presses ‘NEXT’ it goes to the end of the timeline and then continues on to what it is supposed to do. Without that chapter point, you are at the mercy of every DVD player because they all respond differently. Sounds like yours just goes on to the next video element on the DVD disc….whatever it may be. Try the chapter point trick, it should solve the problem and users can still skip the segment if they want to instead of disableing the button.

I’m sure you’ll notice that many commercial DVDs operate the same way with the chapter point at the end. However, there are some programs (like Sonic Scenarist Pro) which allow you to map the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons to specific timelines. This doesn’t always work in my experience becasue some DVD players respond to the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons differently. The most consistent results I have ever had came from adding the chapter point to the end of the timeline.
