DVDAS Scene Selection Menus

Has anyone been able to create movie style scene selection menus. I am able to create scene selection menus but drawing a blank on how to create links to each scene page on each scene page. For instance, on scene selection page 1 I would like to create links for 7-12, 13-18, 19-24 and on scene selection page 2 links for 1-6, 13-18, 19-24 and on page 3 links for 1-6, 7-12, 19-24 and on page 4 links for 1-6, 7-12, 13-18. Can't seem to find a way to create a new button that links to an already existing page. Tried various copy and paste and that always creates a new copy of the submenu which means the viewer could navigate to a dead end. Tried copy/pasting the scene selection page navigation arrows, which doesn't seem to create a copy of the submenu and changing the arrow to text and renaming them and no matter which arrow I copied from which page, once pasted on a new page the link changes to one of the adjacent pages.

Is this possible or beyond the scope of DVDAS? I can live with the way it is, but don't want to if only because I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks,
Rye

The way I did it was to create the sub menus (in my case they were for the years 1956, 1957, and 1958 on the same page as the chapters. I then cut and paste the chapters into the individual sub menus. It is a little more time consuming but it works.

I'll have to give that a try. Doesn't sound like too much extra work. To clarify, did each submenu end up with links to each of the other submenus?

Thanks,

I didn't bother with links between submenus. I have the main menu which includes "Play Movie" and "Scene Selection". If you go to Scene Selection, you have (in my case) 3 submenus. Each sub has the chapters associated with that submenu and a "Back" key.

That's an improvement over the default when there are more than say 3 pages, and not too much work. I'll play with that.

Thanks!
