Interactive “Pause” / Vegas 10 / DVD Arch 5.2
I will be video taping a series of training sessions and each will include chapters (scenes). I would like the finished DVD to automatically “pause” playing when a chapter is finished (gives time for the trainee to practice what he just learned). Then the viewer could press “play” to start the next sequential chapter. I releaize that I can create a sub-menu with all the chapters, but this requires the viewer to open and select the next chapter from the sub-menu.
Ideas? -

How about if the DVD goes to the button for the next chapter and sits there waiting for the user to press Play?
If that will work, here’s a tip courtesy of DVDA guru Edward Troxel.
It was originally designed for 3 videos but feel free to modify it to use as many chapters as you need.Take 3 video clips. Drag them ALL to the menu.
Now double-click on the first video. Go to the “End Action” section.
Change the end-action “Destination” to be “Menu 1” (unless you changed the name of the menu).
Then change the “Destination Button” to be the second video.Now go back to the menu and double-click on the second video.
Once again, go to the “End Action” sections, change the “Destination” to be “Menu 1”, and the “Destination Button” to be the third video.Once again, go back to the menu and double-click on the third video.
Go to the “End Action” section, change the “Destination” to be “Menu 1”, and the “Destination Button” to be the first video. -

That should work nicely. I just didn’t want the viewer to have to figure out, or remember, what the next chapter is.
Thanks,

Glad to help Brad.
Since Edward told me how to do this, I’ve used it several times.
