String movies

I have 2 movies that is rendered mpg and ac3. Lets call it movie1 and movie2.

How do I tell the DVD Architect to play movie2 right after movie1 without going to the menu?

Also how Do I put a short intro video before it bring up the menu?


I have also thought of using Vegas 4 to create one big movie, when I added few seconds, the audio/video shifted correctly, but not the surround assignment. But that another story.

Thank you all guys,

Short answer: You make it ONE movie instead of TWO.

(no end-actions right now)

Not quite as short, but more specific answer (which still leaves out some details, which you can learn from the user's manual):
You make it ONE movie instead of TWO, and you create a "chapter" at the beginning of (what was) the second movie, so that you can jump directly to the second one if you want to, at viewing-time.

Very short answer:

dvda 1.d lets author set navigation.

Longer comment:

dvda 1.c does not allow chapter point links on main menu, a sub-menu must be created. This of course pretty much eliminates any authors with architectural plans of their own.

As has been advised a few times recently, the links from a sub-menu can be copied and pasted to the main menu if required, and the sub-menu can then be deleted. You are then left with Chapter point links on the main menu.

DVDA 1.d?

I didn't think there was such a thing, but checked anyway, and sure enough, there isn't.

Where are you getting the "d" version?

So where is this DVDA 1.d?

My idea of combining multiple movies back to back, just like the TV series where the open and the closing credits always the same. So that I don't have to string them in each episode. It would be nice if the DVDA can just point to intro.mpg, open.mpg, feature.mpg, closing.mpg. That by replacing the feature.mpg I then have a different show.
