DVDA menu problem

Hi All,
I'm using DVDA 4.0. I have a music show with 6 chapter markers: 1 "play all" button, and 5 separate songs.
My problem is with the "Play All" and "Scene/Chapter 1" parts.
I set the out point for the Play All, to the end of the show. this works fine, as do the Scenes 2-6 parts with their respective end actions that link back to the main menu.

Problem is: Scene 1 has the same start point (and title) as the Play All scene (it is the first part of the show) I can't set an end action for Scene1 without it also becoming the end action for the Play All.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I don't wan't to create another whole "Scene Selection" page...just wan't to use the main menu page with the songs listed as playable items.

TIA
Ken

The HELP menu explains this, but basically you have to import the media for each chapter. But do not be scared, it does not actually import the video, it only makes a new instance of it.

Then you set the end and beginning for each chapter that you want and link to that instance.

Like I said, the HELP menu explains it better.

Thanks Dave.
I thought I was following the Help file instructions...go figure.
I'll try your suggestion tonight.
Thanks again,

Well, inserting another instance of "media" (my video file) worked for that errant first chapter.
I didn't have to import the file for any of the other chapters...just the one with the conflicting name. All I did for the others was to move the end point to the end of that scene/chapter.

Thanks again,
Ken
