Combining clips for play-through?

[Deckedout]

Is this possible???

I'd like to create a DVD where the three clips I have will be able to play through. Making a long story short...The large video slide-show I'm working on is too long and memory intensive for me to create it as one big file. Although I do want to create a menu with different chapters, I'd like to be able to hit play and play the entire DVD without it going back to the menu screen. Is this possible???

Please help! Thank you!!!

I'm not quite sure I understand. So you have a slideshow that is already on a DVD, or it is already encoded and ready to put on a DVD? And it is too big to fit so you want to split it up, or you have 3 different files you want to play without interuption between them?

No, sorry, let me explain better. The slideshow I'm working on is too large for the program to render at once (the finished project will have about 700 pictures, with transitions, text and music). I can do it in two or three different sections for the program to accomplish this, but I want the DVD to play as one long, 45 minute or so, movie. Is there a way to combine the seperate clips, or connect them somehow that it will play as a continuous video? Thanks for your reply and any help you can offer!!!

Oh, ok. I believe you can do this with Ulead DVDMovieFactory2.

Yes it is possible, depending on the program you are using. Spruce up won't do it, but most others will. It is generally the end of clip behavior that you need to set, as shown in the example above.

Thank you for the replies. I have Movie Factory 2 and do you think I even saw that.....I guess I've looked past that :P . Thanks again!

Yes that option is tucked away.

I've noticed quite a few folks don't see it until they've used the program extensively.

By the way, here are some helpful TUTORIALS for Ulead DVD MovieFactory 2:
