Newbie(?) Maestro Question-Intro

[GreyDeath]

I'm trying to make a DVD (no menus) with an Intro or as some programs call it, an Overture; ie, a bit of video that will play first when inserted and then go to the first movie, like an FBI warning or a company logo.

Basicly, I want the clip to play when first inserted, but when the DVD is played again without removing it from the player, it will play starting with the main movie.

Anyone know how I would set this up?

Make 2 movies on the left hand side, then create connections that plays the into (movie1) then passes straight to chapter 1 of movie 2 (the movie).

Thanks Flay,

I've done that before, but when the DVD plays back the second time (without removing it from the player) the Intro video still plays when it should just go to the Main Movie.

I'm putting the Intro in the First Play slot, then I link it to the Main Movie under End Action. Would putting the Intro under Title Menu create the effect I'm looking for or is there something in the Disable User Interface that I can check to make it the way I want?

Well, after tinkering a bit more and remembering how some other professional dvd's are structured, I figured out the simple poor man's version to my dilema (thought I'd share :P )

DVD Maestro
1. Insert Main Movie under Movie 1
2. Insert Intro (Overture) under Movie 2
3. Under Connections: First Play link to Movie 2
4. Under Connections: Movie 2 End Action link to Movie 1

The result of this will play the Intro when the disc is initially inserted and upon restarting the dvd after it has finished (no resume) will start with the Main Movie, thus avoiding seeing the company logo or whatever and going to directly to the start of the film.
