SpruceUp & Multiple Videos

[Big Jon]

I have multiple videos and create buttons to play each video, this works fine.... but can I create a button to play all video in a certain order...

Each video is stored as a separate mpeg....

Thanks In Advance.........

Unfortunately, SpruceUp will only do as much as you have already achieved. You need its bigger brother Maestro to do what you want. A shame 'cos the simplicity of Spruce up is a real winner.

You can use TMPG to join/merge the mpegs into 1 mpeg and then import the file into Spruce and make chapter points and a link to play the whole movie

Yes agreed. You can join to make one file.

I just assumed he meant he wanted to have the option to play one title, or more than one to make it continous.

eg You have 5 episodes of a tv program. Have the button option to play them one at a time, or as a continous showing with another! SpruceUp will not allow you to do this. He does mention buttons specifically!

Sorry for the confusion!

You need to do the PLAYLISTS function in Maestro. This information was taken from the manual:

Playlists are a way of including a single DVD movie or any of its chapters or sequences of chapters, in alternate play paths - without creating a duplicate of a DVD movie that would occupy disc space. You can think of the Playlist as being similar to an "alias" or "shortcut" on a computer.

As Playlists are defined, they appear in the Connections window as sources and targets. In effect, each Playlist becomes a new DVD movie with its own chapter points; in turn, each chapter in each Playlist has its own Menu Key Action and End Action.

Take a look at this thread for more information on PLAYLIST:
