Asked about this a couple years ago. Respondents seemed confused, I'm not sure why. Trying it again;
I would like any DVD movie I create to work with the "skip" button on the remote. Just like commercially made
DVDs do. Using DVD Authoring (or any such app) , there is the option to created chapters at
set time intervals. Easy , so far. However, I do not wish to have ,for intance....24 chapter thumbnails to deal
with, for a 2 hr. movie. For this question and answer (hopefully) session , let's say I'd like just 2 "title pages"/
or chapter pages (wish it could be an agreed standard term).
On each chapter page I'll go with 4 buttons (chapter thumbnails), for a total of eight. What I want to do is
select my own point on the timeline to be linked with those 8 chapter buttons. BUT .... still keep all the other
5 minute auto-created chapter points ....so the "skip" function on the remote will actually work! ( I may choose
to remove an auto-set chapter that's very close to any one th6at I prefer)
I dont know any other means of stating it. I've created dozens of DVDs, over years using several burners,
programs, etc. etc. The ONLY exception I'll concede to , is that IF any "source" file is longer than 5 minutes
( in my example here).. than the SKIP button WILL work - but as follows; once - if the movie is >5 and <10 mins.
in length. OR, it may work twice, IF the source file is >10 mins., but <15 mins. etc, etc. I think it's typical , that
most often you may have a few, or many..source files being combined to create your final DVD movie. Usually of
varying lengths.
Quirky things are happening when attempting to achieve this outcome, as I am currently working on a
"test" DVD movie in the hopes of figuring it out.
Any help , anyone?
