[Encore 1.5] how to add more than one mpg to one timeline?

[monster_]

hello,
I have 4x 800 MB encoded mpg file. I would like to have 9 chapters in this movie which consists of that 4 files.
Should I create one timeline and put all these files on it? I tried to do that with drag&drop but It was impossible. What could I make wrong?

all files are encoded with same profile in MediaConcept MPEG Encoder, (the same res. bitrate, framerate...)

I think you can only create one timeline per file. You would have to pre join all your MPGs sao you have just one video file.

are you sure?
ISO standard accepts maximum ~1GB files.
At the moment I have Peter Gabriel concert (Growing Up Live) in the DVD-ROM and when i get to /VIDEO_TS folder i see 7x ~1GB files. In fact they are one movie, when I open this movie with PowerDVD there is one long Title which has 18 Chapters. This title consist of that 7 ~1GB VOBs... so It should be possible to create one title from more than one MPG,
but I cant do it with Encore (1,5).
Why? Can you find the reason??

Thanks in advance,

From the Adobe Encore DVD 1.5 user forum, Encore 2.0 can do multiple files on a timeline. Previous versions can't.

thanks creakndale,
I have just checked some of my DVDs and all they have maximum ~1GB VOBs.
ISO 9660 support maxium 2GB files...

It`s time to upgrade to Encore 2.0
