Several videos on one dvd

Post by dumbdumber »

I've created a dvd slideshow and also added two music tracks to it. I then used the original file and put two different music tracks on it. I hoped it would then play the slideshow twice and I would hear 4 music tracks (i also want it to repeat continuously).
When I used Share- Create Disc the disc played as I wanted it to on my computer, but when I play it in the dvd player at work it just plays the first video with the first two songs on and keeps repeating this.

Is there a tick box I've missed somewhere for it to play both the videos on a loop not just the first one?

you may need to combine the two videos into one for a DVD player to play through both - you then need to tick the box against "Auto repeat when disc playback ends" in the 'project settings' box in the BURN module.

this as you say should work on a computer - but whether it works on a standalone DVD player depends entirely on the make and model number of your DVD player - some do some don't.

Thanks, although I'm sure I did it this way last time and it was ok.

Is there an easy way to copy the second video onto the end of the first ? It's just that it's quite a long slideshow and I don't want to have to mess around with all of the text etc again.

Use nesting projects, search the help file if you don't know how to do it, or save the 2nd project as a video file and import it into the first project

Thanks everyone, I've imported the other video files onto the same project and it seems to be ok now.
