Simple Random Playback

Randomising playback is one of those things that really ought to be easier than it is in DVD Studio Pro. Often you want to provide a quick way to offer random playback capabilities to your client, but it involves all sorts of difficulties – not least of which is preventing repeats.

In the DVD Spec, and with spec level authoring systems, you can set PGCs to be non repeating and random. In DVDSP, you can’t. Shame!

Instead of spending hours writing scripts, you could instead use stories and a simple script if you only want to randomise a low number of clips. You can read all about that in this article.
