  1. Hello all!!!
    I have 12 video files with different aspect ratio, and sound.

    I wanted to make 12 vts in dvd lab pro.
    The project would be...1- a MAIN MENU with 12 buttons linked to 12 other menus, then, each of the 12 secondary menus would have like a play icon inside to play the video file.
    Obviously, when I finish up watching movie 01, would go straigh to movie 2 and so on until the 12th.

    I played a bit with the connections in the software, and burnt on a dvr-w, but I´m really having a hard time making it work.

    Can somebody give me a hand and let me know how to do it.

    Or even send me a project structure file so I can open it in dvd lab pro and only insert the video files. my email is fgtan.ebay@uol.com.br

    thank you all

    You may not have to have 12 VTS's. Look logically at your videos and group like with like. Try to get down to the minimum number of VTS that you can. Once you have done that, start planning your menus. Do it on paper first, rather than just jumping and drawing arrows willy-nilly.

    You should also read the manu that ships with DLP. Start with the section on structures, then look at playlists. The online version of these sections can be found here (be careful accessing the online version of the help files. The English version linked from the main DLP page is more up to date, the version linked to fromthe tutorials page is much older).

    You really should reduce the number of VTS's as much as you can, as gunslinger says, but you'll probably get confused that way.

    It's actually easier to do it your way and here's how to do it.
    Assuming there's 12 movies, go to connections window and make 1 VMG menu and 11 bridges. Line all of these up so they're in a single row at the top with the VMG menu on the left.
    Now line up your 12 movies directly under each of these in the order you want them to play.
    Now draw connections from movie 1 to bridge 1, from bridge 1 to movie 2. From movie 2 to bridge 2, from bridge 2 to movie 3, and so on. Draw the last connection from movie 12 back to the VMG menu. Your connection lines should be going up and down in a zig zag pattern.
    Now link to each movie from buttons in the VMG menu. Nothing special required for this. (You can't do this with a VTS menu, by the way.)
