Video goes back to beginning of each title

[brouillette]

PROBLEM : Video goes back to beginning of each title when playing consolidated multiple projects movie

Per your suggested workflow, for lengthy projects, I stopped doing only one huge project (with associated undue rendering time and problems) and instead break it now into 5 projects that I render individually to .mpg format.

For example , for a full trip , each of the 5 projects is a region with 4 towns out of the 5 regions/20 towns visited.

I then add each of the 5 project .mpg videos (= 5 regions) at the "insert media" step of DMF 7 SE, add chapters for each town within each .mpg video (= each region) to be able to jump forward to another town during viewing if required, add a title menu with a button for each region , but no chapter menu (don't need) , then burn a DVD.

When I play the DVD by pressing the PLAY button of the Main MENU (the Play ARROW to play the entire movie/trip) , the movie starts and plays the first media (= first project = first .mpg video = first region) with all its chapters (the 4 towns), but stops and comes back to the beginning of each region/project when reaching the end of the region.

If I want to view the entire movie without interruption but still keep the menu / chapters for flexibility , what do I have to do (besides melting all 5 videos into one big .mpg file like I had to do to work around above problem) ?

Hi

Navigation Controls

Select the cogwheel lower left
To the bottom of this window is the navigation controls, this affects how the menu is controlled.
It only affects Titles, not Chapters.

Choose “continue to play next clip”. Will play from selected title to end.

Return to Menu will play a single title then return to menu.

Just to make Trevor's reply absolutely clear to other users, Trevor is talking about Movie Factory 7 SE here, NOT Video Studio...

Hello brouillette,


Trevor and Ken are correct. Incase you still cannot see the cogwheel that Trevor is referring, see the screen shot below. The cog wheel for the Project settings is the icon that I highlighted in YELLOW then the Navigation controls are the settings in RED.
