Creating a "play all" from separate video files

diggersf wrote on 1/7/2004, 2:08 PM

I have several separate files in MPEG DVD format that I would like to either play individually or all at once. What is the best way to go about doing this?

I considered rendering the files together into one large MPEG but I was concerned about quality. If I do end up doing this, I want it to switch back to the menu when it is finished playing the chapter. Thanks in advance.

You either make it ONE file or you use the work around posted in another post on this forum.

Thanks for the reply. I already had tried the work around but the file sizes are too big. I could make one file and create chapters but there isn't a way to return to the menu after a chapter is done with DVD-A, is there?

Yes there is.

All you would have to do is set in/out points for the chapters so that is all it plays...then it will retun to the menu when done playing.

As long as you know that what you want to do is create a long title with scenes that play individually and return to scene selection menu before you render in Vegas, it is no problem. Long title with chapter points. Set scene selection menu. Edit each scene to end where you would like it to return to scene selection menu. You don't have to edit start point. You just can't do it with individual clips in DVDA.
