Encore Play Thread by keying number into Remote? at DVinfo.net

Alex Chamberlain · January 12th, 2011, 04:21 PM

Hi,
I have a client who wants their DVD Authored with 5 sub-menus off the main menu listing 6 selections each.
He wants the selections numbered with the Menu Number and a dash, then the relative selection number. I.E. Menu 1, selection 3 would be Numbered as "1-3," Menu 5, selection 1 would be numbered "5-1."

I've got all of that in place, but the last thing that's got me stumped is this:

My client wants to be able to key the selection number into the remote from the main menu and have that particular selection play. Is there a way for me to assign a number combination to a timeline in Encore? I.E. to make it so that keying "45" into the remote plays selection 4-5? Any help is appreciated. I did search before posting and I've found nothing here, and googling "Encore" and "Number" together tends to turn up a bunch of pirate sites. Thanks!

The only evidence I've been able to find thus far that such a thing is possible is the fifth line from the bottom on this document:
