help with Authoring scenario

[wan2no]

If i had 90 pictures which means i have six pictures on each page that have their own profile. When i say profile, i mean that when you're on a picture and you press enter on a picture it carries you to another page and shows you information on that picture. How would i get this done in either dvdlab pro or sony dvdarchitect 3.0?

Do you man you have 15 pages with six thumbnails on each and you wish to link them to some frame, video or sound?
You can make 15 menus were you put 6 buttons, put picture in each button, add navigation buttons, then make 90 menus with one button "Back" and set the description picture, slideshow, video and/or sound as background.

don't let me ask the obvious but isn't that going to make the file ridiculously huge. I thought about it but the capacity was a minor issue, but it seems so monotonous. Please tell me there's another way.

A am afraid there is not. As a relief I can tell you that it is not so huge as it looks, just start and if everything goes smoothly you will be done in less then hour. To make everything smooth give clear informative names to source matterial. Spend more time for planning then it will take considerable less time doing.

You just need a little practice, that’s exactly what you will get. After completing this task you will crack simpler tasks as nuts.
There is no automated way of letting the authoring program know which files in which sequence you want to put. There is a script support for Sonic Scenarist, but you will have first to write a program (probably a Word macro) which will put the autonumbered names in a script. But preparing everything for automation will be harder then actually doing it yourself. The script way would help you if you had 900 files not 90!
