I've tried both the chapter menu and the key that says next title. Any way you look at it the results seem to be hit or miss.

The problem is that the DVD standard is vague, supplies no information, and generally one of the worst standards for the blind community! The author of the DVD has a lot of room to get creative with whether they want menus at the beginning, or end and how to structure the titles and chapters. Perhaps on those misbehaving DVDs where you can not find the episodes by the title menu, try the chapter menu. Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.
