joining media in DVDA 2

Hi guys...

Just want to make up a demo of some work I've done.
Each peice is about 3 minutes long.

When I'm puting the project together I'd like to lay one peice directly after the other so it plays as one continous demo.

At the moment I have my demo stuff in a menu that you have to scroll thru to play each one individually.

I guess I really just want to know how to put muliple jobs on the time line so it just plays one after the other?

anyone confused yet?
Darren

Use end-actions to point to the next file until you get to the last file. Then point the last file back to either the first file (if you want it to automatically loop) or a menu.

Ed (jetdv) gave one suggestion. Another is to put the files into a music compilation. Contrary to the name, a music compilation can have videos, too. The compilation method avoids, I believe, the lag between items that end actions generally results in. It's only useful if you don't want each piece to have be sub-divided into chapters, but I assume that's not an issue when each piece is as short as the ones you're using.

The third option, and really the most stable, is to join everything into one file outside of DVDA and set chapter points between them.
