Re: Can't Set Remote Action for Playlist

Scott - I am quoting your reply to me to continue this discussion under the correct Subject line:

>Hey Marc,

Sorry. missed your posting back on the 29th. What you are seeing in the application is by design. Playlist items can't have different menu/title button calls than the actual assets in the playlists. you can override the end actions using the playlist so you can rearrange content, but you can't override the menu/title buttons.

Scott<

So is this a misprint in the manual or am I just interpreting the language incorrectly?

>To set the Title or Menu button actions for a title or playlist:

Click the title/playlist's icon in the Project window. The Attributes window displays the title/playlist's attributes.

In the DVD Remote section of the Attributes window's General tab, choose the desired actions from the Menu Button and Title Button drop-down lists. For example, to disable the Menu button while this title/playlist is playing, Choose None from the Menu Button list.<

I understood this to mean that I CAN set the Title or Menu button for a playlist. Did I read this incorrectly? Well, it sounds like that either way, I can't do what I wanted to do.

Here's what I am doing: I am creating a DVD for a sales team that has several different videos, arranged in different groupings, linked to different sub-menus, created for specific maketing purposes. Each sub-menu lists it's particular group of videos as seperate menu items, plus a PLAY ALL button that links to a playlist. I would like a menu button action for each playlist to refer back to the particular sub-menu with which it is associated. But, because one of my videos is associated with several different menus (an intro video), a menu button action during this video in the playlist always takes me to the main menu.

How do I make this work? If I add my intro movie to my project window's Titles list multiple times to include in each sub-menu (I have not tried this), I should be able to set a different menu button action for each duplicate title. But will the media (the MPEG video) for each duplicate be added to the DVD burn or does DVDit just burn it once?

I don't have any more room to burn several copies of the intro on the same DVD and I would rather not increase the compression.

Thanks for your help.
