Possible to treat titles as chapters?

Post by markr04 »

I have a bunch of individual clips that I want DVD Workshop to treat as chapters... essentially allowing much easier navigation from a DVD player remote. With 76 clips, I'd like to make 10 titles of them. Once a title is chosen in the player, I could use the "next chapter" to cycle through them - not possible when they're titles. I guess this is like pasting them together. Is this possible in DVD Workshop?

First, you need a playlist.

- A playlist is activated by a menu button.

- The playlist starts a title (or it starts playing at a particular chapter in a title).

- At the end of the title, it goes back to the playlist for the next instruction (play another title, display a menu, etc).

Now, here's the trick. Put an "extra" chapter-point at the end of the title.

When you use the >>| key to jump to that "chapter", the title will end and control will return to the playlist. The playlist can start the next title.

Geeze.... that sounds confusing... I hope it's not too bad. :?

Note that this trick won't work for the |<< (back) button.

The easiest way is to stitch the clips together in an editor to render into a single title or your 10 titles.
