    Hello again

    OK so I have 4GB worth of MPG2 video clips. In all there are about 25 clips.

    What is the best way to set these clips up in Architect so each is accessbile with the remote control BUT they can also all play as a continuous movie if the viewer chooses?

    Thanks!

    This is a lot easlier in DVDA 3 with a Playlist, but here goes the directions for DVDA 2:

    After you’ve created a menu system with a button for your 25 clips, drag those same 25 onto the project overview and rename them. Create a button for the first one (that will be the Play All button).

    For each of the renamed 25 clips (except the last), double-click, then in Media Properties, change the end action to be a link to the next clip.

    Hah – was gonna say the same thing – 1st upgrade to 3.0! Silly to not be using the latest version, it’s just better – same for all you Vegas 4 and 5 users.

    People have their reasons not to have the latest version, including economic ones. While it’s certainly desirable to always have the latest gear and suggest that others follow, it is unfair to call their personal purchase decisions silly.

    Thanks Gary. Money IS an obstacle right now for me. Otherwise I would have 3.0.

    Can you explain the process of “creating a menu button for your 25 clips..” ? I don’t get it

    thanks

    I shoud have said to first “create a menu button for EACH of your 25 clips”, which you do by dragging the media onto the menu.
