Encore DVD 1.5 - Getting a short extract to play

[coastie]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a few short (four second) sections of my movie to play when I select their button on a menu. Creating the menu is easy, finding out how I can link to a particular four second segment of my movie isn't. I'm not even sure if it can be done.

Any suggestions welcome.

why not just crop the original video (in your video editing application of choice) into the 4 second segments, render these as videos (eg as AVI's or whatever), import these into your DVD authoring application as timelines, then simply link your menu buttons to these timelines? Will work as you described you need, without increasing bitcount of your project all that much

Create a chapter at the start and end of the segment, then put this chapter in a playlist and link from the menu to the playlist (I am pretty sure Encore supports playlists - check the manual for details)
