Hello XB:

Yes! You can combine projects and put them on a single DVD. My advice is based on my experience with Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum ProPack (SVMS):

If you have several projects in SVMS, you can open each project, hightlight all, copy, and then paste into a new project or append to an existing project. Note that you must open each project in a separate instance of SVMS rather than opening one project and then trying to open another project in the same instance. When you do that, SVMS closes your first project and opens your next. Even if you highlight and copy and then close and open the next project, your stuff doesn't stay on the clipboard. But you can have multiple instances of SVMS open at the same time, which is such a cool feature.

Another way to way to combine multiple projects would be to open DVD Architect (DVDA) and build a DVD that uses each of the projects. You can have menu buttons for each project or just have a "Play All" button. You will need to play around with this a bit but here too, you will find many cool features.

There may be other ways to combine multiple projects on a single DVD, but those are the two ways that I do it. Good luck!

Thanks. The copy and paste worked - i still have a little trouble trying to do it on architect but i haven't used it much.
Thanks again for the help.

Glad to hear it worked.

You can create some very professional looking menus, buttons, etc. on DVD Architect but it takes a bit of fumbling around to figure it out.

I've learned DVDA by using the "show me how" tutorials, but I don't think DVDA is as easy to use as SVMS. But stick with it and you will have some nice DVD menus that are customized to suit your purpose.
