DVDLAB - Authoring Multiple MPEG Files

[icemanatvcd]

I love DVDLab for authoring DVDs. Only thing I don't like is that you can not author more than one movie files. Is there a way around this without having to join the mpeg files in another app like TMPGEnc. Thanks.

Have you tried putting two movie file in it ?

if you're talking about your video being split up into different files and having them place continuously then you can do this in dvd lab.

just go to the connections tab and draw a connection from movie 1 to movie 2 and so on. that'll just loop it so it goes directly from movie 1 to movie 2.

Foo, I have tried it, it comes up with a message saying video track already exists!

There must be something un-intuitive about DVD-Lab, because I have seen this question over and over again...odd!

Yes, you can add as many movies as you like in DVD-Lab, and you can change the connections so that after the movie is done playing it will return to a menu, or it will immediately begin playing another movie (this is handy when you have a movie in sections, or are stringing together music video's by the same artist, etc.)

Just go to the "Movie" menu and choose "Add New"...as many times as you want.

Each time you add a movie, there will be a new "holder" created. Drag one video and one audio asset to each holder. Don't go dragging all your assets to the same holder, or of course you're going to get the message you got!

it's not that it's un-intuative. it's just that people aren't willing to explore their softwares. every software isn't going to have the same exact features in the same exact place. yeah most things will be the same but some are different. i think dvd-lab is layed out excellent and very un-cluttered. it's just that the user has to play with the program for a bit to find what he/she needs and once fooled around with, it's a very simple program to use.

I don't know, it made total sense to me that if I wanted a new movie, I needed to Add Movie...

... but then again, I'm not afraid to RTFM.

think I agree with Philly - maybe these people are bringing in the mindset from another program, and thinking "that's the way it's done everywhere"...
