Chapter in DVD architect

[groovyboy]

For DVD architect users!

Is it possible at the end of a chapter to come back to the chapter menu instead of continuing playing the all movie automaticly. What i want to do is defined the beegining and the end of a chapter so when you play it , just the chapter would play and then come back to the menu .

You would need a chapter playlist, which I don't believe DVDA supports (at least not up to Pro 4.5) or you would have to put logic codec behind the playback to manually control the end action of the chapter. DVD Lab Pro supports chapter playlists, which would make this exercise a doddle.

You can add the same moviefile as often as you like (will only be physically present once.)
Than you can create new in and out on each file, each with his own access from the menu.
Just move the sliders.

Thanks guys!!

I been posting in a few forums and no answers...

I will try what you said NoBuddy it seems to be the way to go.

I tried it and it does'nt work...When i create an in and out it will only play that part on all the other ones too...

Does anybody have an other idea?

Use a better authoring tool. DVD Lab Pro would do this without breaking a sweat

NoBuddy is correct. Simply select the link on the menu and copy and paste into the same menu as many times as you have chapters. After pasting, you will notice that the project pane will also duplicate the instances of the file. Choose each new instance and set unique in/out markers (at your chapter points). Repeat as many times as necessary. The movie file will only be recorded once on the dvd but each separate instance will become a unique PGC.

It is a difficult concept to first grasp, but once executed a few times it becomes second nature.
