GPRM help PLEASE!
by Bill Thomas (jodyberry) on Aug 27, 2008 at 3:32:30 am

In using DVDSP4, I've gotten to a point where I can do most commands. But GPRM still stumps me. I've done searches everywhere, and Lynda.com doesn't have what I need. If any of you could give me a step-by-step, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Here's what I have:

Basic "First Play" moving menu with 3 buttons for 3 videos. When a selected video finishes, it goes to a second similar NON-moving menu (so as not to aggravate viewers with the same moving title over and over.)
This works fine if the viewer waits till the end of the video.(End Jump) But if he pushes the "Menu" button on his remote BEFORE the video ends, it'll go back to the first moving menu.

How would I program it so that anytime they press the menu button AFTER viewing the main moving menu once, that it'll always go to my second non-moving menu?


Thanks a million. Step-by-step if possible.

Bill

Well if every viewer is going to watch your First Motion Menu (since it is the first play), then all you need to do is program your menu link for your track (in the track properties) to goto your second motion menu. No need for GPRMSs.

I'm not near my edit system yet, but would I have to have the first menu selected before going to track properties?


Thanks...

Nope, just select the track and you will see up in the track properties a drop down for menu programming. Just set it to go to your second menu and to highlight whatever button you want.

Thanks a MILLION, Luke!! That works great.

I come from the old "Sonic Fusion" days where ANYTHING special you wanted to do required scripting or a workaround!!


Thanks again,

Bill
