Adobe Encore DVD help

Hi guys, i'm trying to create a DVD that has a button of "play all" and another menu that has chapters.

i got 5 videos (each has it's own timeline) and each video on its end it is set to return to the chapters menu (end Action: Chapters:default).

now what i want is that in the main menu there is a button to "play all videos" i have the button ready, but what i don't know how to do is to use those 5 videos and play them all, one after another.

i tried creating a new timeline with all five videos in it, but the file size becomes too heavy. so that is not an option.

what i the tried is using those five timelines and from the "Play all" button to link to the first and from the first video to the second, ando so on.
"play all" -> "video 1" (end Action: Video2) ->"video 2" (end Action: Video3), etc
but when i do this, it overrides my previous orders and if you choose a specific video from the chapter menu it will go to the next video when it ends.

so if anyone has a better way to fdo this. have a "play all" button and also have a video menu where you can select each video you want. please advise.

thanks.

nevermind guys. I found out how. it was so easy. just made a playlist.

that solved all my problems. it does not use extra space and it allowed me to do everithing else i needed.

thanks for your views anyway. or if you have another opcion. post it too.

This is your problem...

Instead of the end action returning to the original menu, you need to have the end action go to the next timeline..
Once you've done that, then underneath, have the override go to the menu, with the next button higlhlighted...
