Ordering DVD Titles - Help me please?

special k wrote on 2/27/2009, 8:29 AM
I am having an issue with some DVD players when the NEXT button is hit when viewing a title: it goes to another title, but not the next one in sequence.

I have the titles ordered correctly under each menu, but when I go to "Optimize DVD" in version 4.5 under the File menu, I can see the order the DVD really has the titles, which is different. Unfortunately I can't reorder them in the Optimize DVD feature.

I read a thread on here that said there is an option for "Ordering DVD Titles" under the File menu, but I don't see that anywhere.

Can somehow help me figure out how I can change the order of the titles for how they are actually burned on the DVD?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

What version of DVDA are you using? I believe the order of the media is determined by the order in the PROJECT OVERVIEW window.

Version 4.5c, Build 91

That's what I thought too, but I have the titles in the correct order in the Project Overview window. And the titles do play in order, except when NEXT is hit, then the dvd reverts to an old ordering, I think from when I added the titles to the project originally. And the Optimize DVD listing reflects the actual hierachy of the titles. I just can't find a way to edit it.

File > Ordering DVD Titles is only available in DVDA Pro (added in 4.0 or 4.5, I think), not DVDA Studio. Other than that, files will be on disc in the order in which they were added to the project.

Far as I know, changing the order in the Project Overview window only determines which button will be highlighted first when that menu displays. No effect on title order on disc or what happens when the Next button on the remote is hit.

Yep, sorry I was looking at Version 3. I think it was added in Version 4 pro.
