DVD MAestro - Connections - Newbie Please Help!

[fenster]

Hi ,

This problem is pretty straight forward -

i have 4 parts of the 1 big movie..

i want to just have them playing "falling rock" - one after the other from dvdr
no menu , no chapters...

i cant get my connections right in dvd maestro .

i put part one of movie in first play
2nd in chapter 1 menu key
3rd in chaper 3 "" ""
4th in chapter 4 "" ""

i really dont know what im doing with dvdmaestro to be honest so if any of u can spell it out for me i would be very thankfull

thanks in advance

davie.

you didnt have to much of anything ... in fact you didnt even have to make a first play though it will give you warning on compile .. they will just play in order on the time line.

best to delete the menu in the left box in your case.

i can load all mp2 into the timeline but after the 1st ac3 sound clip is inserted the 2nd sound clip being inserted in the same timeline prompts

track already contains an asset - replace it?

the other way i got round this was making a new movie for each part of my files 1-4 i.e movie1,movie2....

but thats where i got stuck with connections

im looking to tell dvdmaestro - on play:
play movie1 then movie2 then movie3 then movie4 then end.


any suggestions?

You are looking for the PLAYLIST function in Maestro.

its not a playlist function - i don't why that was suggested ..

anyway this what you do ..

load all your m2v file on the video movie timeline ... that is only the video section laid out on 1 time line ... 4 video clips ..

now right click on the audio timeline and create sync audio

now assign to each of your 4 clips a matching ac3 audio clip in the pop up box and and hit create ...

a new ac3 audio file will appear on your audio timeline .
