dvdlab playing movie in order

[Matryx]

I got a question. I'm trying to get a lot of episodes on one dvd with DVDLab Pro. What I can't seem to do is make the videos play in order. Say movie 1 finish movie 2, starts play movie 2 finish, movie 3 starts etc..

There are a coupleof ways to do this. The simplest is to go to the connections widown and simply draw the links in order from episode 1 to episode 2, 2 to 3 etc. Start playback on episode one and you will play through.

Or, you can create a playlist that determines the order of playback, and link to the playlist from your menu instead.

Yeah I did that. It doesn't play through though for some reason. I link the playlist to the menu same thing too.

Also how do you make it so when you press the next button it goes to the next movie and previous button go to back.

use movie segments to do that...it will kinda author it as one movie...go to connection-->add-->movie segmen...just had the audio and video files in the order you want to the timeline

I see. Is there a way you can add subs and 2 audio files in there also? I'm trying to make a dvd with 10 anime episodes and i got 2 audio...1english and 1 jap and got 1 eng sub.

I was also wondering about the Trim end feature. Is there a way you can trim some of the movie but not the end but the beginning instead. I have 10 episodes and each of them has the same intro. Is it possible to cut those out with DVDLAB?

[guns1inger]

No. Trim End does just that - it trims the end.

I would not use movie segments in this instance because if you set it up correctly using the connection window and chapter points you can get your next button working. Also, movie segments are limited to one audio track and no subtitles.

Start by posting a screen shot of your connection window. If you can't get assets playing in order then you have something fundamentally wrong and we need to fix that first.

I would start by clearing all connections, and beginning with movie one and putting all the links back in. Test it to make sure it is happy.

Once you have all the assets playing back in order, put chapter stops at the very end of each asset - on the last GOP. Add any other chapter stops you might want as well, however if you simply want the Next button to jump to the next episode immediately, keep your chapters to just the one on the final GOP of the episode. Compile and test.

Heres the screenshot of my connections

I can't see anything immediately wrong with this. What happens when you play through ?
