making dvd play more than one event at a time

I have movie studio with a done project that's already been rendered to mpeg2 and I want the dvd to play more than one movie off the menu at a time.
Example when they play the main movie when thats done instead of going to the main menu again I'd like it to play the second movie. Is this possible without going back and rerendering everything again? Any ideas on how to do this, or is my program limiting me.
Thanks

Sorry, you need to be able to change the end action of the movie, and that's a feature that's only available with DVDA 2.0.

Your only option is to re-render with both movies together or get some software that will join the 2 mpegs together.

There are several programs out there that can join multiple MPEGs together. They only "re-render" the join point, so it does not take a long time. I recommend either of the programs available from Womble.

That program looks promising for lots of things

I figured out movie studio can do this.
You open a music compilation and add your
video instead. It will play one after another. You need to get rid of the
file names by making transparent or moving and thats it.
Of course I'm finished with the project I needed this for............

I keep forgetting about that solution. I'm surprised johnmeyer didn't suggest it...maybe he missed this thread.

Keep in mind that the music compilation solution doesn't allow you to have chapter points within the videos -- each video that you add is considered a chapter.
