play all - simulate disc vs. real disc

My DVDSP project has 14 short videos, and I added a "play all" script(s) to it.
(I found the script at creativemac.digitalmedianet.com)
When I select 'play all' in simulate disc mode, all the movies play in the correct order.
But when I select "play all' on a burned DVD, the first two movies play in the correct order, but then the DVD jumps to video #11, then to video #8, it then plays three more videos and then goes back to the main menu. Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.

There is really no reason to do this with scripting unless you have a mixer of video framerates and/or aspect ratios, stories is the way to go.
you would need to put all the videos together in FCP and then export a single m2v with chapter points for each video segment. The play all is then the actual video track and the individual videos are just one of the stories. The use and instruction on stories are well explained in the manual.
