Masters of branching in Maestro, need advice please!

Hi, First ensure you set the Sources to 'Show Standard Sources' in the Connections Table; right click the column heading 'All Sources' and check. Don't use the Next / Previous connections. I would try creating a Playlist, this would be appropriate for your case. mike

lol, just noticed your post on the exact topic (cheap media problems): sorry about that ;) Arky ;o)

No problems Arky, It's me that I am sorry to have talk about my problem in 2 topic... I have finally found verbatims at Trilight's suggested store (HyperMicro) and bought 25. I am a little disapointed, as I have in my possession 75 Generic DVDs that won't work in my settop DVD :( Yayyhh! I will be able to make data backups!! :rolleyes: Well, I should have listened to you all, but the truth is hard to hear! I hope the medias will drop down soon!!! @Arky : About my question about playlists.. Well let's see... Structure : MOVIE 1 -> Episodes 1 to 8, separated by chapter points MOVIE 2 -> Opening MOVIE 3 -> Ending I would like to access the episodes this way ( with previous-next ) after having pressing the Play button : Opening Episode 1 Ending Opening Episode 2 Ending ... ( I know it don't seems funny to see so often the Opening and the Ending, but lots of people want to see them, so I will permit with Command Sequence what to use, with or without op./end. ) So using a playlist, I would only be able to access the movie chapters in the current movie of the playlist you know? Is there a tricky way make it jump to a movie from another in a playlist? If it's not possible the only solution will be to put the opening and the ending at the end of the same movie as the episodes! Thanx in advance!!

What you are wanting to do will require the use of Command Sequences. DVD players have memory registers referred to as GPRM's (General Parameters). They can be set to certain values to control functions while the disc is in the player. Setting these and controlling the player's function is very much like programming. If you have any programming experience this will make more sense to you. Although there is probably more than one "right way" to do this, I will offer a suggestion. Start by creating a command sequence (let's call this first one "Main Start"). I will tell you what should be set and then list what the command list should look like. First, set the GPRM mode to "register" for GP0. Next, assign a value of 1 to GP0. Operation type "move" setting "immediate". Next, jump to Movie2 (as you listed this was the "opening"). The command list should look like this: Code:

Wow what a detailled little guide you gave me! :D I have tested that, and the logic you used is perfect! Erm.. well almost. As you said, I program so I can figure too what you have done. :) But there is something you missed: Code:
