Clips just play back to back and don't return to the menu

Post by galen »

Hi--need your help

First try at using DVDMF. I created 3 MPG2 files with associated audio files. Added them in DVDMF. These are short clips only 2 minutes each. No chapter marks in any of the clips. Created a menu. Every thing looks right. Each button is assocted with only on of the clips. When I preview it or finsih the project and play in a desktop DVD player, once the fist clip completes, it automatically starts the second clip playing without returning to the menu (just continus that until all clips are played). It's like the end action defaults to the next clip instead of the previous menu. I searched help for end action without success. I am sure this is an easy fix.

Can someone help me with this issue.

Thanks.

Open project settings (second icon from the left on the lower left side corner of the window), then on the Clip playback option, choose "Back to menu" from the pull down menu.

Vampire--Thanks for the quick answer. Can you apply that to individual clips or just the entire project. Another quick question. on the preformatted text menus, can I add any text myself???

Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere. I am so used to working with DVD Architect. But want to try and burn some HD DVDs with DVDMF.

Thanks.

Just the entire project. When you select the "Back to menu" option for the clip playback, every time a clip has finished playing, it will return to the menu.

no i do not think that you would be able to add any texts. you would only be able to change what is written on the texts that are present on the menu template you have chosen.
