DVD Maestro question

[lrpebler]

I'm authoring end-of-semester compilation DVDs for my classmates in film school. There will be 5 5min. shorts per disc, and I want to be able to:

1) Encode all five in one big title block, making the beginning of each short a chapter break.

2) Include both a "play all" option in the menu, which will play all 5 movies sequentially, and a "choose a short" option, which will play the selected short and then return to the menu.

I'm very new to Maestro 2.9, and I'm wondering if some knowledgeable and helpful individual could clue me in on how to hook this up.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to do this is to encode all your 5 clips seperately and put them onto the timeline one after the other in the order you want them to play in. Next make a sync audio track, now you can right click on each segment of footage and select "add maker to end of asset" right click on the marker select "edit marker" re-name it and check "chapter point" do this to all your assets except the last one.Next make a playlist add all your chapter points this will act as your play all feature, that's it. All you have to do now is make your menu page.

Hope this helps.
