Running 3 files together(Playlist)?

chris hines wrote on 12/25/2007, 4:42 PM

If I wanted to put 3 video files on the dvd but only one "Play" button, how could I without 3 new buttons being displayed on the menu?
For instance; I have a concert that is broken into 3 parts because of file size restrictions. I just want to make a "Play all button" to make this happen.

First drag the 3 parts to the menu. Then create a playlist containing the three parts in the right order. Then drag the playlist to the menu. Next, create a menu page 2, and move the 3 parts to that menu page. You will have the 'play' (playlist) butten on menu page 1, and the 3 parts on menu page 2. You cannot delete the 3 parts, as that will delete them from the playlist altogether.

Just a curious question, but what file size restriction is preventing you from rendering the whole concert as one single file? You should be able to render the whole thing as one single MPEG file with no problems.

Thanks Ivan123, I will give it a shot to see if that's the result I am looking for.

Chienworks, The largest file can only be 1gig right? The concert I have is 71min. My comp breaks it into 3 parts. When I fool with it in movie maker/add chapters etc and then click make movie, even if I hit quallity best and move that quallity bar all the way to the right, it still makes the completed file under 1gig. This is huge quality loss.
However, the 3 parts are in very good quallity and I was just wondering how I could put the pieces on the disc without having visible links to all 3 pieces. Just one. I hope this makes since. :)
