  1. This may be an easy answer but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it.

    I am using Authoring Works 4 and have to create a DVD with a lot (45+) individual video clips. Each video clip is named after a person. When adding the clips to the DVD menu, how do I automatically make the track title be the name of the clip.

    Instead of:

    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    etc...

    ....it names it

    John Doe
    Jane Doe
    Steve Smith
    etc... based on the actual file name.

    This way I do not have to go in and manually name each track based on the file name. Is there any easy way to do this or another program that can do this? Also, can I have more titles on each screen and not use icons?

    Thank in advance for the help.

    That's just for chapter names,not track names,you gotta name all the tracks manually,no getting around it.

  6. You are right, that is for chapters. Why not use chapters instead of tracks? Each clip will make its own chapter within a track....
