Allen,

I have DVRack 1, DVRack 2 and Ultra. Like so many others, I also got very concerned when Adobe purchased Serious Magic and now it looks like I was right to be worried.

Edward –

I did wonder if loop or hold would cause me not to be able to get the main video. Thank’s for clarifying the point.

I wonder how they do it in Hollywood when you put a DVD into your player but you are still on TV input, once you switch to the DVD input, the DVD is just sitting there waiting for you to press enter and you still have to watch all the “Dire Warnings”.

It seems like this should be a start option in the first-play options. Maybe I’ll suggest it to Sony.

Thank you again one and all for your help. It looks like a script would be my only option and I have no experience with it. I left off with Basic and that was many, many years ago.

Don –

Thank you for jumping in on this. I have the start video on the timeline but under End Action in Media Properties, I still have only two options under End Options Command I have Link or Stop. Pretty weird this option would be missing. It has got to be here someplace if it was like this in an earlier version.

I’m going crazy but with everyone’s help, I know I’ll get better.

DSE –

I am using version DVDA 4.5 Build 39 and my only options under Command are Link and Stop. I am linking to the main video Any other ideas? Under General, I have the option of adding a start script but that is about the only thing I see that will let me do what I want to do.

Thank you again for sticking with me on this problem.

By the way it was great to say hi to you at NAB this year! It has been about 5 years since I was last there and I still remember our small gathering back then for the Vegas party. What a difference – the room, the food, and the number of people attending the party was impressive.

Hi DSE –

I don’t seem to have an End Action that allows me to to say hold or loop. My screen for media properties End Action shows

Command
Destination
Destination Item
Destination button
Set audio track; subtitle track
Set video angle

I must be at the wrong place?

Thank you Ed and Mike. Your help has made everything work perfectly. Ed – thank you for the continued explanation on when to use the mastering capabilities of DVDA.

Thanks to both of you, I will make my schedule tomorrow.

Awesome guys –

Terry –

Using the DVDA standard or wide screen format for video along with ac3 files seem to work great for me.

Good to know you like the book. I’ll be seeing DSE in Vegas in a few days. I’ll pass along your comments.

Thank you for jumping in Mike. I was just taking a stab at it since nobody had responded. I’m going to check out your links as well.

Have a great day.
