sorry if this has been talked about, but I would like to know if i had a video clip that had maybe 4 parts to it and i put chapter marks on the 4 parts can the chapters have a icons .
im thinking like a wedding i have , the wedding ceremony a photoshoot reception and a recap. these could all be separate video clips but id like to have them play automaticly one after the other as if it was one clip. and i could have a icon picture for each part or if it was one clip id like to have icons to go to the next part of the video. know what i mean?.
sounds simple i think but im new at this baby.
thanks. randyc

Yes it is all doable in DVDA2. Just read the manual that came with it, it is outlined.

I just authored a DVD with two clips (one 2+ hours and a 3 minute one). When you insert the disc it will play the entire feature both the 2 hour and the 3 minute clip back to back. The 2 hour clip has 23 chapters.

If you go to the menu, you can play each chapter individually and it returns to the menu after each chapter with the selection highlighting the next chapter, you can also play some sections together (1-12,13-18,19-23) and return to the menu afterwards.

All of this is detailed in the manual very well, it is a no brainer. You just have to create multiple title instances of the given stream, and set start and endpoints accordingly. You also have to set proper end events for the clips, but that is very easy too.

Guud luck!
