Looking for: iDVD3 chapters and menus hack

[Fabian Ius]

Greetings,

just completed a 01:24:08:00 project in iMovie3 and burned a copy (Project Size 87:13 of 90:00 and 4.26 GB) in iDVD3.
(First burned it onto a Verbatim DVD-RW to ensure everything was playing properly, then burned a copy from the -RW disk to a TDK -R disk using Toast)

There are 5 pages of menus (with motion / looping... 30 seconds each) and 6 chapters/scenes per menu (the default number for iDVD3).

The entire project looks good. (some of my favourite Seinfeld episodes)

Just looking for a few hacks to make the scenes a wee bit easier to access.

I know I can skip to any chapter using the remote, however, when selecting a scene/chapter from the menus, it is not very user-friendly.
Example:  play scene/chapter 17 of the "movie", selecting "menu" from the remote takes me back to the first menu page.  Then I have to move forward through each menu page to get back to that page that has scene/chapter 17.

I have read that this is possible in DVDSP (I currently do not have the time nor money to invest in this app) to return to the previous menu, but was wondering if anyone has tried to "hack" it in iDVD3.

Erica ?  ;-)

others?

I have looked at Applescripts for iDVD3, and also into the ProjectData file in TextEdit, but have no idea if this is possible in iDVD3.

thanks,
