all,

from my movie i want to create a playlist behind a button on the main menu.

this playlist will play a number of short sequences from the movie. say 3 short clips. some are 2 minutes long and others are 5 minutes long.

the way i did this is to create, 6 chapters, then create a playlist to play chapters 1, 3 and 5. a button on the main menu would link to the playlist.

chapters 2, 4 and 6 were splices so that the sequence would go straight from chapter 1 to 3 to 5 and then back to main menu.

this works fine.

my problem is, how to add "normal" chapters for the movie which co-exists alongside the playlist?

when i add a chapter, say every 3 minutes, this affects the above playlist. meaning when i hit the next button whilst in playlist mode, it jumps to the "normal" chapter as opposed to the next link in the playlist.

also, i don't want to create 3 separate mini clips as this would bump up the movie size and i don't have the space on a +5 dvd.

if dvd lab pro cannot do this, can some other authoring app do so?

cheers for any help in advance.
