Then create 4 titleset menus to play 4 songs for each artist.
<pgc entry="root">

<button name="button05">g1=button;g0=0;jump vmgm menu 1;</button></pgc>
I allocate a separate titleset for each song. So I have 16 titlesets for
each song.
After adding one more artist or one more song for each artist, get an error:
ERR: Can only have 128 commands for pre, post, and cell commands
Is a way to use more titleset?.
PS
I would like to have an additional directory on DVD with hard links in it
to VOB files located in VIDEO_TS. In this case I would have an additional
directory with song names to play DVD on computer as ordinary files.

Is it possible to create a DVD with more than 36 titles?
Maximum number of commands per menu is 128.
Please reduce commands per menu.
DVDStyler replace some features with many commands.
Please try
(1)untick "Create jumppads"
(2)untick "Remember last selected button" - menu properties
(3)untick "Play all titles" - button properties
(4)not use "call last menu;" - title properties

Thank you very much. But how can I jump to FIRST title in next titleset?
<post>jump titleset NEXT_TITLESET title 1;</post> not allowed
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
from titleset 1 title 1(there is only 1 title in titleset 1) to titleset 2 title 1
add a vmgm menu(for example vmgm menu 3).
input "call vmgm menu 3;" in post commands of titleset 1 title 1.
input "jump title 2;"("2" means the second title in the disc) in pre commands of vmgm menu 3.
cannot jump from one titleset to another titleset directly by dvd-video specification.

I had a look and I'm wondering. Why do you keep every song in separate title sets? Your titleset menus serve absolutely no purpose as far as I can tell.
I would use one titleset for each album or collection, insert the songs as chapters and link to them directly.
Then just have a link to each titleset on your main mnenu, and links to each song on a titleet menu. You can put any Pre or Post command on the file or chapter link, just as you would on a menu. Having each song as a chapter would make navigating much easier, just hit next chapter on your remote and next song comes up.
That's how I make mine and they all work great. Note the links to the sngs all have the same target file, only the chapter changes.
In my case DVD has 3 directories:
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
VOB_NAMES (name should be last directory in file tree)
VOB_NAMES directory contains hard linked files to VOB files in VIDEO_TS directory and named. For example VTS_01_1.VOB is hard linked to VOB_NAMES/Deep Purple (hard)/ Fools.mpg.
Hard links don't vaste DVD space.
PS
Idealy would be as you thing, but store songs in separate files:
VTS_01_1.VOB
...
VTS_01_9.VOB
In this case would be 9 times more clips and might be use blue-ray disk.

Cache inode and device numbers to find hard links to files. If mkisofs finds a hard link (a file with multiple names), then the file will only appear once on the CD.

Be careful when using this option on a filesystem without unique inode numbers as it may result in files containing the wrong content on CD.

Or please tick "Play all titles" and select "all titlesets" - button properties.
I test with 11 artists x 9 songs - create 99 separated vob files. So, I have 1 artist (title) menu and 11 songs menus for each atrist.
Title artist menu:
jump to vmgm menu ARTISTNO
Song menu of artist:
jump to titleset NOTITLESET title 1
Titleset NOTITLESET title 1:
g0=1; call vmgm menu 1(ARTISTNO);
vmgm menu 1:
(pre commands): if(g0==1){jump titleset 2 menu;} if(g0==2){jump titleset 3 menu;} if(g0==3){jump titleset 4 menu;} if(g0==4){jump titleset 5 menu;} if(g0==5){jump titleset 6 menu;} if(g0==6){jump titleset 7 menu;} if(g0==7){jump titleset 8 menu;} if(g0==8){jump titleset 9 menu;} (show menu)
titleset (root) 2 menu 1:
jump title 1;

None of my business, but why so many menus?
Doesn't VMGM Menu1 and Titleset Menu 1 serve the same purpose?
It just seems like overkill and makes navigating a chore. But just out of curiosity, post the DVDS file from the project, I wanna have a look.
"titleset (root) 2 menu 1:
jump title 2;"
"jump title 2;" should be "jump title 1;"("1" means the first title in the titleset).
Last edit: Fiedzia59 2023-05-30
why so many menus? You said: Please reduce commands per menu.
So, titleset menus only for reduce commands
VGMG MENU1 PRE: if(g0==1){jump titleset 2 menu;} if(g0==2){jump titleset 3 menu;} if(g0==3){jump titleset 4 menu;} if(g0==4){jump titleset 5 menu;} if(g0==5){jump titleset 6 menu;} if(g0==6){jump titleset 7 menu;} if(g0==7){jump titleset 8 menu;} if(g0==8){jump titleset 9 menu;} if(g0==9){jump titleset 10 menu;}
if(g0==10 -- NO JUMPS (shoud be selected item 1 of vgmg menu 1)
VGMG MENU2 PRE: if(g0==11){jump titleset 12 menu;} if(g0==12){jump titleset 13 menu;} if(g0==13){jump titleset 14 menu;} if(g0==14){jump titleset 15 menu;} if(g0==15){jump titleset 16 menu;} if(g0==16){jump titleset 17 menu;} if(g0==17){jump titleset 18 menu;} if(g0==18){jump titleset 19 menu;} if(g0==19){jump titleset 20 menu;}

TITLESET2 menu pre: jump title 1;

peate9 said "why so many menus?".
ecodrv said "Please reduce commands per menu.".
I had a look and I'm wondering. Why do you keep every song in separate title sets? Your titleset menus serve absolutely no purpose as far as I can tell.
I would use one titleset for each album or collection, insert the songs as chapters and link to them directly.

That's how I make mine and they all work great. Note the links to the sngs all have the same target file, only the chapter changes.
Have a look at a quick exsample
In my case DVD has 3 directories:
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
VOB_NAMES (name should be last directory in file tree)
VOB_NAMES directory contains hard linked files to VOB files in VIDEO_TS directory and named. For example VTS_01_1.VOB is hard linked to VOB_NAMES/Deep Purple (hard)/ Fools.mpg.
Hard links don't vaste DVD space.

VTS_01_1.VOB
...
VTS_01_9.VOB
In this case would be 9 times more clips and might be use blue-ray disk.
Is the VOB_NAMES directory something you made up? I've never seen that before; sounds like a good idea. How do you access it from the DVD>?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by Hard links, xplain please. how do they save space?
