    How to Automate Playing Certain Sections of a DVD


    Our church has a DVD covering its history with several segments. Ordinarily a user would choose these from their DVD player's remote control. We'd like to play certain parts of the DVD on a monitor in the church's Welcome Center. Is it possible to play the DVD from a PC with control by a file that would choose which DVD video segments to play and go from one to the next when a segment finishes? Ideally the segments could then be played with no human interaction required.

    Hi, if those are in chapters, consider creating a new DVD or other medium using just the appropriate files split from the original:

    If the sections are already separate files on the DVD, then again consider ripping them, and merging them to create on single file on a new DVD - or other medium

    There's a hint VLC player supports a chapter playlist, but this needs further research:
