How do you link Multiple VTS with one Menu in Scenarist?

I authored a multi-episode project in ReelDVD then exported it to Scenarist. What I want to do now is break each episode up into it's own VTS. I have moved them but how do I relink the episodes back to the original menu? The manual states "Play cannot flow directly from one VTS to another but must be routed through a dummy PGC in the VMG." I couldn't find a good example in the book This is my first Scenarist project so I'm a bit lost. Could someone shed a little more light on this for me? Thanks

RE: How do you link Multiple VTS with one Menu in Scenarist?

I created the language folder and 2 PGCs linked them to Title_1_1 and Title_1_2 in the other VTSs then linked the 2 dummy PGCs to my episode menu buttons 2 and 3. Now when I use the simulation, I select episode 1 and it plays fine, but when selecting Episode 2 and 3 it just retuns to the main menu. My project consists of 2 menus. Selecting the first option from menu 1 takes you to the 2nd menu which is the episode menu. Here is what my scenario looks like so far:

Getting a 403 permission error when trying to access the link.... First make sure that you put the menu in a language folder in one of the VTS's. I'm thinking that for simplicity's sake, you'll want 4 dummy PGC's in the video manager and none [dummy] in the titles. One linked to return to the menu, and 3 to get to each video. First, make a post command for each episode to get back to the menu [drag from the little post box on the pgc containing the episode to the dummy PGC that goes back to the menu]. Make a post command from that dummy to the menu. Then, link the buttons to the dummy PGCs linked to the 3 episodes for which you just made those post commands. Now, for those 3 dummy PGCs make post commands that go to each video. Relatively Simply: 1. Put the menu in a language folder in one of the VTS's for ease of linking. 2. Make 4 Dummy PGC's in the video manager. 3. Route one of those dummys back to the menu. 4. Route the remaining 3 dummys to the desired episodes. 5. Link the buttons in the menu to the 3 dummys. 6. Make a post command for each episode to go to the dummy that links to the menu. Hope this helps [please reply either way...], Dan

Hey Dan thanks that helped out a lot. I would have responded sooner but I discovered some issues in the way I encoded my resources. Now my only issues are with Scenchap. I tested my project and it works fine, then I export it, pull it into Scenchap import the chapters from the 3 IFO files save then re-import. Now I get an error (sorry I'm not at home so I don't have the exact one)when I try to play the simiulation. It's something about a Null image or Null pointer, I can't remember off hand. Now if I export then reimport the script (without using Scechap). I just need to burn an RW of the project now to verify it's working the way I need it too. Again thanks for your help.
