Multiple Movies

Can anyone help me to do multiple movies on DVDA? example, I have three different movies I want to set menu's for on one DVD. One movie on one menu etc.

Second example, a wedding Ceremony, reception, vacation all in one timeline in VEGAS 4 and set as 3 different menu's in DVDA.

I hope this is not confusing. Thanks for the help in advance.

Well, it IS confusing to me. I'm still not sure WHAT you want.

If you are saying you want a "Play All" button which will play all 3 "movies", you will need to provide DVDA with a single file. You can also have it play subsections of that movie via chapter points.

If you are saying you want a separate menu for each movie, just add three menus to the main menu and add each movie to its own menu.

the second response is correct. Now in the VEGAS 4 timeline do I do three seperate renders for each ceremony, reception, honeymoon loop? That way I can add them as menus in the main menu? I'm sorry I'm new to this. thanks again Jedtv...

Render a loop region for each section to create 3 files, see page 239 in the Vegas manual for details.

I am also new to the program and I haven't tried this yet. I'm still reading the manual.

I was under the impression that you could bring a single movie into DVDA, add chapter points to this movie and then the menu would show a different scene for every chapter point.

Isn't that possible?

That is pretty much true. If you want a menu for each chapter point, right click on the main movie and then select the create submenu option. This will create menus for each chapter point, but it will put them on a separate page. If you want these to appear on the main page that comes up when the DVD first plays, you have to cut them from the submenu page, and then paste them on the first page. Not a very intuitive or friendly way to do it, but that is the way it works.
