how to make videos playing continously

ok i have made a menu with linking to videos. I can play a video and all, but when it's finished, it just goes back to the menu. How can i get it so that all the videos play continuosly without going back to the menu??

Thanks,
Dan

I believe you use the looping feature in VV4 Then when you go to DVD arc. will set up the dvd to loop over and over.
I may be wrong as I have not done it myself yet.

I think the original question is: when you have, for example, three different videos with links from the main menu, you would like to play the first and after that the second and third are played WITHOUT going to a menu selection again. DVD Workshop has that feature: you can choose to go back to menu or play next video.

The EASIEST method is to have ONE video file - not three. Then you can have the buttons come in at chapter points and play to the end. You can also specify buttons to start and stop at specific points within the file.

Hopefully Sonic Foundry will put a link to next video in an upcoming revision. Until that happens I use DVD Workshop to prepare DVD if I need to link video files.

That's all right, but... What I want from a DVD authouring package is to be able to do EVERYTHING DVD standard allows to. If DVD standard *recommends* something, that should be in the default settings of the application, but I should be able to choose.

I know DVD Architect is in version 1.0 now, but the market already has - at the same price tag - other tools that allow that.

Hi MrBacardi,

Choose Music Compilation in DVDA, then add videos instead of audiofiles

Don't forget the AC-3 encoding. Other apps at this price range DON'T include AC-3 encoding.

In fact, last time I looked, the incremental cost of an ac-3 encoder in other apps was about $300, or twice what I paid for the entire DVD-A package including ac-3.

An authoring program that does everything allowable in the DVD spec costs an awful lot more than DVD-A.
