Replace media in DVDA.

DVDA Question:

I am having difficulty figuring out how to replace the video and audio files without having to set up the menu all over again. It isn't explained in the online help. I changed something and regenerated the Mpeg 2 file in Vegas, but didn't want to have to go through the difficulty of creating the menu all over again in DVDA.

Thanks,
John

The menu inside the DVDA project won't go away, but if a source media file has changed, you'll need to relink. 3 ways (at least) to do it:

If you have re-rendered to the same directory with the same file name, you won't have to do anything- DVDA will think it is the same file as before.

If you have deleted the original source file, when you open DVDA it'll prompt you with the missing media dialog- specify the replacement file.

Inside DVDA, you can modify the path for any linked-to media, at any time.

Thanks for that incredibly fast reply. I'll try those suggestions.
