How to jump back to menu after a chapter?
by Michael Lansdell (huatnee) on Sep 16, 2008 at 9:55:44 am

Hi,

I've been given an mpeg2 and an aiff with chapter markers on for a training DVD I've been asked to make, but the client wants the programme to only play a chapter at a time, and then jump back to the menu...

I wasn't consulted on the best way to give us the media before hand, this isn't how I would normally go about this!

Anyway, can anyone help? I'm pretty basic with DVD Studio Pro, I don't know how to do anything beyond drag and dropping really, this is something I've been asked to do in an afternoon during a quiet day, I'm normally a colourist!

Thank you!

Best way to do this is with stories.

Each Chapter is placed in its own story and then the story's end jump is set back to the menu. The chapter menu buttons are set to target the stories.

the manual will tell you how to set this up.
