thanks to all for the help,this site rules. But..how do i get my svcd's to continue from disc 1 to disc 2...EG:Star Wars..3cdr's 45min,45min,27min resectively. I have to manually skip the disc and hit play...store bought Dvd's will keep going. what do they have that i dont?. thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Nevermind....I just read somewhere that there is no way of encoding or burning or authoring any svcd to do what i want. bummer..that would have been a nice feature....and yes..my DVD player does support it..just not for svcd's..thanks anyway.

Hold on a sec...

I think you've misinterpreted the other post.

There is no way of getting a S/VCD to AUTOSTART (that is, start playing as soon as you put it in) if the player doesn't already support it.

But you CAN author a multi-disc VCD set to automatically start the next disc once the previous one has finished...

This can be done with VCDImager. Unfortunately, as I don't have a multi-disc player, I don't have any experience in doing this. If you read the VCDImager manual (http://www.vcdimager.org ) then you find some info on it.

I've started a VCD authoring article series as well here: http://www.geocities.com/medinotes/vcd/ if you are interested in general VCD authoring.

Regards.
