automatically switch to the next chapter

I have rendered a number of videos with markers in Vegas and then have imported them into DVDA Pro 5.2. Each video creates a chapter and each chapter has a number of sub-chapters depending on the markers added in Vegas.

The only thing a cannot get the resulting Blu-Ray to do is to play a chapter and then automatically switch over to the next chapter. Instead the video jumps baack to the main menu again. How to have the video automatically start showing the next chapter?

Are these chapters or individual videos? A chapter is just a marker on a single timeline/ video. If these are individual videos, you can set the END action of the video to switch to whatever you want to play next.
It also looks like you have everything subbed under your menus. The videos should be connected to the top heading, not the menus.

These are all individual videos (Juli 2019, December 2020, Augusti 2021 and Juli 2022). Each video has then a sub-menu.

Where do I set the end action so that ie December 2020 )2:Jul) jumps to the video Augusti 2021?

Click on your video in the Project Overview panel and this normally shows up on the right side of your screen.

As it is now at the end of a video A I have now configured it to automatically start at the beginning of the next video B (contains 3 chapters) thanks to DMT3. But I cannot jump to the next video using the remote, I have to wait for video A to end before video B starts. So how do I configure it so that I can manually jump to the next video?

While video B is showing I can jump forward to the next chapter of that video B using the remote. I can even jump backwards to a previous chapter but only within the same video B. How can I configure it so that I can also jump backwards to the last chapter of video A?

And lastly how do I configure it so that I can exit to the individual video/chapter menu instead of the main menu?

As far as your first question, I don't think it can be done. Maybe if you create a PLAYLIST, but I have never done it. As far as the second question. IF your Bluray/DVD player has a TOP MENU button and a MENU button on the remote, this may work as I show in this video. Since each manufacturer has their own way to program the remote, I don't guarantee it.

thanks but it did not seem to work. I am playing my discs on either a PS3 with a PS remote or a PS4 with game controllers and neither seem to send the video back to the chapter menu, only to the main menu. No biggie.

Thanks anyway.
