Can I have single clip & multiple menu points?

I'm about to do my first DVD project with DVD Architech.

My project is a single 45 minute video but I want to have the Menu Screen allow the viewer to jump in at various points.

Can I do this or must I cut the video up and render it as seperate clips?

Thanks for any help.

Yes you can.

Search the forum or check out your manual on inserting chapter points and a chaper sub-menu

You add a point from A-Z, B-Z, C-Z for the "start from" links.

Also you can have an entirely different set of 1, 2, 3 chapters that return to the menu as they finish.
Then finally a Play All.

This won't, by design, cause you to have duplicates of the video on the DVD. However you do have to be careful with your workflow to help guide DVD-A into not thinking you have additional media. If it does go wrong and starting again could lose your work, consider using the clipboard to copy-all and paste that into a new project. This clears most of the hic-cups I get when I misguide DVD-A (usually happens when I change my mind during an authoring frame-up).
