Parental Levels

With Parental Levels you can prohibit discs from being viewed or substitute alternate

content (if it was authored) based on the parental settings for the DVD player. The Parental

Editor in Scenarist lets you set the Parental Level for the VMG and each of the VTSs in the

project.

To conﬁgure the Parental Levels for a project:

1 In the Scenario Editor, choose Settings > Parental, or click the Parental Editor button in

the Tools Bar. The Parental Editor opens.

2 Click Add and select the country for which you will set Parental Levels, then click OK.

Note: Currently, only the United States has a deﬁned rating system. However, DVD

players in other countries will recognize and adhere to Parental Levels used with this

rating system.

3 Select a Parental Level (G, PG, PG13, R, or NC-17) for the Video Manager and each VTS.

4 Click OK to close the Parental Editor.
