  1. I'm trying to make a compliation DVD with DVD-Lab Pro, and I can't figure out how to have the seperate parts of the DVD together so I can make a menu of them.

    There's 5 parts of this compliation DVD, all seperate VHS recordings. I had to make 5 different "movies" in DVD-Lab Pro to import them all in, so I can have them all in this project..

    I can tell they are all in here because with all 5 parts imported, it says my DVD will be a total size of 4.65 GB, so I know that part is right so far. My problem is, I made a main menu, the one that pops up when you first put the DVD in, and I made a link that says Play, so I linked that to the first part of the DVD, which I wanted it to be, and the problem is the chapters..I want to link that to a seperate page and when you go it, you can see all 5 of the parts on the DVD, and select which one that you want to watch. I'm having a problem with that because when I right click on chapters from my main menu, it will only link movie 1,2,3,4,5 seperately, I can't figure out a way to have them all together on one menu..how do I do that?

    When I go to the connection tab, it shows that they will play in order, 1,2,3,4,5 so I know that is right also, but I just can't figure out how to bring them all together on one page so I can make a chapter selection..In DVD-Lab Pro, when you're making a DVD out of 1 VHS video, you go thru the video, and select where you want chapters to be, well for my project, I can't figure out how to merge all the seperate recordings into 1 so I can split them up into chapters...each "part" is a seperate movie part, and I can only go thru each movie part seperately, and I can't make chapters that way because they are all seperate recordings..

    Add your chapters to each title, then create your chapter menu manually. Then you can call the chapters anything you want and link in any way you please (within spec, or course). If you try to use the automated chapter menu options they will be restricted to the chapters in the title you have selected, and won't see all 5 titles as one continuous asset (because they aren't).

    Menu 1
    - Links to Chapter 1 of Title 1 as Play Movie

    Menu 2
    - Chapter 1 links to Chapter 1 of Title 1
    - Chapter 2 links to Chapter 2 of Title 1
    - Chapter 3 links to Chapter 3 of Title 1
    - Chapter 4 links to Chapter 1 of Title 2
    - Chapter 5 links to Chapter 2 of Title 2
    etc
