      Log.getInstance().write(Log.LOGLEVEL_TRACE, "sageEvent: DVDPlaybackStarted");
      while (!sagex.api.MediaPlayerAPI.IsMediaPlayerFullyLoaded()) {
         Log.getInstance().write(Log.LOGLEVEL_TRACE, "sageEvent: DVDPlaybackStarted: Waiting for DVD to load");
      }
   }
}

Family is watching TV at the moment, so I'm not going to be able to test until tonight.

Thanks in advanced!

IIRC you will need to specify the UIContext in the IsMediaPlayerFullyLoaded() and then again in the api's to set the title and chapter. When you look at the api's available for DVD titles and chapters I think you will see there is no way to set it to chapter(x) and/or title(y). You need to check where you're at and move to the next title and/or chapter. I forget the details off the top of my head but I do recall that after looking at these complications I decided to put the code to set the title and chapter in the watch() api because it was a lot easier.

If you do decide to keep the code in the sageEvent don't forget to take out the code I have in the watch() api.

Tom,
Turns out that I don't need to worry about the current chapter as I'm able to perform a seek and that will automatically adjust the chapters. You are correct from what I can tell about Title's though. It seems very odd that there isn't a setDVDTitle API call.
