hello friends,

how do i get DVD architect to play through every video clip instead of reverting back to the menu screen after every section?. i have seperate video files for intorduction, montage, ceremony, reception , phot album, etc. and i cannot figure how to make them all play in order, instead it keeps going back to the menu after each file is played. any ideas?

thanks,

jim

DVDA 2: Double-click an item and find the End Action section of its Properties window. The Command section should be set to Link (as it is by default). Click the Destination setting and change it to the item that you want to follow the current item. Do this for each item in your project.

Alternatively, put them all into a music compilation. Note that in a compilation, the indvidual items cannot have chapters...instead, each item is a chapter.

DVDA 1: You can't. You'd have to put everything into a single video file. (Or, does anyone know if the music compilation trick works in DVDA 1? I'd never even heard of it until 2.0 came out.)

i must be blind, stupid or both. WHERE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY THIS: "End Action section of its Properties window. The Command section should be set to Link"

i cannot for the life of me see this or find it anywhere in any of the view panes... PLEASE HELP! why does sony not offer a SIMPLE "Play All" option like nearly EVERYONE ELSE does???
