Slideshow segments
A slideshow segment allows you to add up to 100 JPEG images in HD or SD resolution that will display on
screen for up to 255 seconds. You can add audio tracks to slideshow titles just as you would a video title.
Viewers can navigate through the slideshow images using their remote control while the audio plays
uninterrupted.
Playlists
After you have created your audio/video segments, you must add them to playlists. You can add the same
audio/video segments to multiple playlists without taking up extra capacity on the disc.
A playlist contains playback and navigational information about how your video will play on your Blu-ray
Disc. You can add a single audio/video segment to a playlist, or you can add multiple audio/video
segments to a playlist and join them seamlessly. In DoStudio Authoring, this is represented visually in a
timeline. This is analogous to how video is organized in tracks on a timeline when authoring a standard
DVD.
The connection between two segments can be seamless in only one playlist in your project.
For example, the connection between Model Bonus and Painter Bonus is seamless in the Play All
playlist.
When the Model Bonus and Painter Bonus segments are reused in the Play All Alternate playlist, the
connection must be non-seamless.
When you add an audio/video segment to a playlist it becomes a path item. You can define chapter points
for each path item. The chapters are defined by the timecode of each path item, not of the entire playlist. If
you have added the same audio/video segment to multiple playlists, you are allowed to define different
chapter points for each path item.
Playlists have Start and End events that you can add actions to. This allows you to add authoring features
such as showing or hiding menu blocks every time a playlist starts or ends. Chapters have a Start event to
which you can add actions.
