| Scenarist Survival Guide - Random/Shuffle playback |
The objective of this guide is to author titles which provides random and shuffle
playback features. The DVD specifications allow a program chain to play back its
chapters in a sequential or random manner. Most if not all DVD players also support
the shuffle playback mode. In the shuffle playback mode, the current chapter is
guaranteed not to be repeated. The DVD author can add cell commands to each chapter
to provide the interactions required for games or complex interactions based upon
the selection of a particular chapter.
If you want to have complete control of the random generation process, the DVD
virtual machine command set has the instruction "Rnd" for this purpose. This command
can be used to generate random sequence tailored to an application requirement,
such as non-uniformed distribution of playing back certain chapters or more control
of the way chapters are being selected.
These features demonstrate the power and flexibility only a professional
DVD-compliant high-end authoring package like Sonic Solutions Scenarist can offer
to a DVD author regardless of cost. We are going to create a DVD title which play
randomly 16 chapters. Each chapter is a short slide show of 5 seconds without audio
