Make movies play whole way through from beginning DVDLabPro

[deadlettr]

I'm transferring a couple old VHS tapes over to DVD and one of them has a music show where the presentation goes: Interview artist about song/artist plays song/talk about next song/play song/etc....
Since there is enough of a fade out in the show between the segments I've already broken the show into seperate "movies" (movie 1 is performer 1 songs, movie 2 is performer 1 interviews.....)
I've used the Bridge feature to make an option where I can either choose to play interview/music/interview/music/etc......OR I can just play the music without the interviews - works so far (crossing fingers that it keeps working)

When it reaches the last song of a performer (movie) the disc returns to the selection menu...and you have to choose a menu button to play the next artist.
Now what I'd like to do is figure out a way (menu button) to have the disc play all the music sections only from start to finish...so that it starts with track 1 of movie 1 (music movie) and then automatically goes from the last track of movie 1 to the first track of movie 3 (skipping the interviews on movie 2) and so on. Please note, I don't want to loose the option of only playing performer 1 and having it return to the main menu....just want the option to either "play one movie and return to menu" or "play all music related movies (skipping movies 2, 4, 6) then return to menu."

Makes sense here or am I babbling? I suppose I could set up a bridge to do this, but was hoping for a different way to that might be easier (maybe a conditional switch or something).

Thanks for any help on this-

You can use the "Playlist" feature of DLP. It will do what you want done I believe. You will need to create a link to the playlist. Look here:

Oho!...I think you're right on that. Missed that item when looking through the programs help. I'll give it a try. I'll say this, I really like the way the help is set up for DVDLab...reads very easy to me (easier than a lot of other programs help) so I can't believe I didn't see it.
Thanks for the quick reply!

I personally would have gone the other way, I would have left it all together as one large title with appropriate chapter stops, then used playlists to break it down. Perhaps a little more work, but a smoother play all function because it isn't shifting titles.

Another way to do it is to go in the Connections window and draw connections from one movie to the next (DVD-lab's default action is to return to the root menu), and do that for all the movies you want to play together.
