The objective of this guide is to author titles which provides random and shuffle playback features. The DVD specifications allow a program chain to play back its chapters in a sequential or random manner. Most if not all DVD players also support the shuffle playback mode. In the shuffle playback mode, the current chapter is guaranteed not to be repeated. The DVD author can add cell commands to each chapter to provide the interactions required for games or complex interactions based upon the selection of a particular chapter.

If you want to have complete control of the random generation process, the DVD virtual machine command set has the instruction "Rnd" for this purpose. This command can be used to generate random sequence tailored to an application requirement, such as non-uniformed distribution of playing back certain chapters or more control of the way chapters are being selected.

These features demonstrate the power and flexibility only a professional DVD-compliant high-end authoring package like Sonic Solutions Scenarist can offer to a DVD author regardless of cost.
