could you maybe give a better explanation of what a linked cell is. I'm having problems with a dvd when I remove an announcement screen the final product will not play. I opened the vts editor and noticed the cell holding the announcement screen is red, could this be a possible cause to my problem?
I've snipped this post of the other thread as it's better this info is in it's own thread
A linked cell means that it will also be played by another PGC. VTS-Video Title Sets are made up of PGC's-ProGram Chains. More than one PGC can call upon a cell within the VTS, so if you remove a cell from one PGC it will affect another PGC as it will also be removed from that PGC
my recommendation is that you untick all the Titles by clicking the very top box. Select only the Titles you want to keep and this will ensure only the content you want is kept and anything else is removed. The linked content will only be kept if it's needs to be. Basically you are working backwards and adding the stuff you want to keep but this will ensure everything that needs to be kept is kept
in time the Title selector will be hopefully modified to make it easy for the user to selectively keep what the want in the easiest possible way but I'm sure you guys will soon learn how to do it to suit your needs as this is still a relatively new feature
I'm not sure why it's affecting playback. I take it this cell must be in the movie/extras side if you are saying it's linked
what else are you removing?, as it could be something else that you have removed that is affecting it and maybe it's in the menu side
what exactly happens when the DVD doesn't play, how far does it get? Does it work if you leave just this cell in and remove exactly the same stuff? You could run a quick test by removing all the movie but leaving this cell in and see if it works
