I have created a DVD from American Idol TV Show as follows:
:p> :p>

• Record the 6 episodes to hard drive in DVD compliant MPEG using TV tuner etc.
• Using “VideoReDo TVSuite”, remove commercials and add chapter points at the beginning and end of each song.
• Author the 6 episodes into 1 DVD. The DVD has a root menu that allows you to select the episodes.

:p> :p>
Once the episode start playing you can skip to a song by using remote's next/previous button.
:p> :p>
I import the DVD into DVDReMake Pro.
:p> :p>

• The DVD has 1 VTS and 6 PGC (and titles) along with VTS1 menu. ( and the usual Video Manager stuff).
• I duplicate each PGC, delete unwanted programs (chapters) in duplicated PGC so that PGCs have only songs left. Thus I have 6 PGC with full episode content and 6 more PGC with just the songs. (But DVD size has not increased. GREAT!!).
• I create 6 new titles ( title 7 to 12), add 6 new buttons on root menu and link the new titles to these new buttons. I also add post command to Program of these new PGCs to return to root menu.

Now I can select to watch either full episodes or just the songs by episode. Every thing works great!
:p> :p>
Now I want to add 13th button to play all the songs from all episodes.
:p> :p>
So I duplicate PGC 7 to 12 to create PGC 13 to 18. I want to set the "Next
PGC" of PGC 13 to 14, of PGC 14 to 15 and so on so I can skip to next songs over PGC boundary. (and similarly set the appropriate "PREV PGC" to skip
back).
:p> :p>
This is where my problem comes:
:p> :p>
I don't have option in “PGC View/Extras tab/Program Chain Extra dialog” NextPGC to select PGC # of next PGC. For example, for PGC 13, I only see 13, for PGC 14 and so on. (same for Prev PGC). i.e. In the drop down selection box for PGC 13 I can not select 14 or 15 or 16 etc. (same for all other PGCs).
:p> :p>
Any ideas why? Any help will be appreciated

Or you can just create PGC13 and add all the needed programs for all the songs in all episodes. Then substitute each program from PGC 7-12. This way you have only one title and you can previous/next with ease. And the size will not increase as well.
