anyone using buttons on video in DVDA?
finally found a use for them: a long video, with certain sections relevant to certain clients. Want them to be able to jump to their relevant sections, if they wish.
anyone know of a way to link sections (other than adding the video multiple times, and changing the I/O points on the subsections)? Had hoped one could do it simply via markers but doesn’t seem possible.

That’s exactly how you are supposed to do it. DVD Architect is smart enough to just include the file once and have all buttons point to that one instance so there is no problem with adding the same video multiple times. This is specifically how you give buttons separate in and out points.

urrgh, not so good. when one adds buttons to the video, it regards the video as requiring new compression – NOT good.
so, in effect, my video now has been physically added to the DVD 3 times, going beyond the bounds of disk (aside from the issue of recompressing the video)
do not like this…..

hehehe, found solution:
1) only add video to dvd ONCE
2) when creating video buttons on timeline, *MUST* specify same video as self (eg PLAY ALL track), and then option for specific chapter is available
no need for all the hassle of adding video multiple times, and changing in/out points etc
nice!
downside is that the video needs to be recompressed due to the buttons, so better to bring it into DVDA as .AVI
