george,

[Trevor]

get my email, dave? i sent a few jpgs along to illustrate.

[Trevor]

i think i have you on this. let me rebuild my layout and see what i come up with. thanks.

First PGC: Jump TT Title 2

Title 2: plays warning disclaimer, then plays intro mpeg, then plays post command: CallSS RSM=1, RootMenu
*Title 2 never played again after main menu is up

VTS 1 – Root menu: I have 3 menus(first page is root and the remaining 2 are nested under the root page. should these not be nested?)for the DVD and they all buttons that link to chapter points. This is one long mpeg with 28 chpater points. nothing complicated. The 3 menus have about 9 to 10 buttons per page. If you look at the code, all i want is if you are on page 2 of the menu, and select chapter 13, that when you view the movie and hit menu or top menu, that it will jump back to the same menu page you selected it from. I have tested this, and it seems to work. What happens is when i select the last chapter and let it play thru to the end, i want it to reset to the 1st page of the 3 page menu. What happens now is when the movie ends, I link it back to the root menu and it defaults to page that i last selected the chapter point, instead of totally resetting. hopefully that makes sense.

Here is an example of the code i put on the pre of the root menu:

1: Mov GPRM0, SPRM7
2: if ( GPRM == 1 ) LinkCN chap2-t-scn-cell, button=5
3: if ( GPRM == 2 ) LinkCN chap2-t-scn-cell, button=6
4: if ( GPRM == 3 ) LinkCN chap3-t-scn-cell, button=7
5: if ( GPRM == 4 ) LinkCN chap4-t-scn-cell, button=8
6: if ( GPRM == 5 ) LinkCN chap5-t-scn-cell, button=9
7: if ( GPRM == 6 ) LinkCN chap6-t-scn-cell, button=5
8: if ( GPRM == 7 ) LinkCN chap7-t-scn-cell, button=6
9: if ( GPRM == 8 ) LinkCN chap8-t-scn-cell, button=7
10: if ( GPRM == 9 ) LinkCN chap9-t-scn-cell, button=8
11: if ( GPRM == 10 ) LinkCN chap10-t-scn-cell, button=9
12: if ( GPRM == 11 ) LinkCN chap11-t-scn-cell, button=5
13: if ( GPRM == 12 ) LinkCN chap12-t-scn-cell, button=6
14: if ( GPRM == 13 ) LinkCN chap13-t-scn-cell, button=7
15: if ( GPRM == 14 ) LinkCN chap14-t-scn-cell, button=8
16: if ( GPRM == 15 ) LinkCN chap15-t-scn-cell, button=9
17: if ( GPRM == 16 ) LinkCN chap16-t-scn-cell, button=5
18: if ( GPRM == 17 ) LinkCN chap17-t-scn-cell, button=6
19: if ( GPRM == 18 ) LinkCN chap18-t-scn-cell, button=7
20: if ( GPRM == 19 ) LinkCN chap19-t-scn-cell, button=8
21: if ( GPRM == 20 ) LinkCN chap20-t-scn-cell, button=9

basically i need it to “zero out” and go back the first page. i believe dave probably answered my question, but since i nested the other 2 menus, they use the code of the root page, correct? hopefully i am being clear. just an example of where and what to put is all i need. i have a zip of images of the layout, but it doesnt seem like i can upload anything here. thanks for the patience.

I apologize if I read your post wrong, just seemed kind of harsh. Maybe I read you wrong. I have many years in DVD production, but am going into new territory and was basically fishing for tips and tricks. Sorry.

NO reason to be a jerk. I actually have set up the DVD to work, but asked if someone would like to audit what I have done before I sent it out. This is a forum for exchanging knowledge and helping, NOT being an ass.

What are you viewing the final DVD on? If it’s a set top, try going into the players setup and checking out what the black level is set at. Sometimes it reads Black level: brighter/darker. That’s just one thing to check.
