2 movie files

I am making a disc that has 2 mpeg2 on it. The problem is when the first movie ends it goes back to the main menu. Is there anyway of making it start the second clip as soon as the first one ends?

The way to do this is to make ONE movie file.

But the BEST way to do this is to use a different authoring program with decent flexibility and functionality.

This, unfortunately, is a major deficiency in DVDA. The problem is that the DVD spec allows for multiple title sets. Unfortunately, the designers of DVDA reflected this back into the way the program works. When a title set finishes, the DVD player goes back to the menu. As a user of the software, you don't want to know about title sets. If you want multiple MPEG files to play continuously, without interruption, then that is what they should do.

The workaround for now is to:

1. In the future, try to render multiple AVI files into one MPEG file.
2. Take existing MPEG files and join them using the Tools in programs like TMPGEnc. MPEG VCR has an excellent MPEG join feature, but is is ridiculously expensive.
