DVDA and scripts

ok i got my dvd to burn to discs with no problem..NEW question!! Can DVDA have scripts in it? Like if you ever watched certain DVDs made by professionals...and they have those warning labels that you cant skip no matter how many buttons you press....can DVDA do that type of stuff? and how would you do it? Same thing with previews...have some previews come up not being able to skip them then go right to the menu?

Not scripts like Vegas, but it can do what you're talking about.

Basically you'll prepare whatever material you want to present (using Vegas) and then tell DVDA to disable the various remote buttons while that material is being presented.

I think if you take a look at the DVDA manual, you'll find the specifics regarding how to disable the remote buttons.

Personally I find DVD's that have disabled the remote buttons to force me to view material to be a major PITA. Thank goodness Disney has apparently listened to the consumer on this topic - there was a time (a few years back) when they disabled remote buttons during the previews; the latest DVD releases don't do this and in fact include a brief screen shot telling how to skip the previews.
