Menu Structure construction

Hi

I am using DVD MF 4, and have all the extra content installed as well.

I want to create a menu structure where you can select the main video choice to go to its chapter menu, or you can select an "additional content" menu which takes you to a new menu level where there are links to three separate video files.

I want the three separate video files to be stand alone files, ie when one ends, it returns you to this menu level again, it does not run on to the next file.

At the moment, when I insert the four video files into my project, they all appear in the main menu page. And then the only sub-menus are for when I create chapters in a particular video file.

Any help please? Is this possible to do?

Thanx

At the bottom left corner of the screen are three icons, the centre one resembles a cog and is for project settings.

Click the cog to bring up an options menu.
The bottom section is for navigation control and the very bottom one allows you to select "Clip playback"
Here you can choose to either play next clip or return to menu.

Separate items in the timeline are the top level items of your menu. The return to Menu option only applies to those top level items, so whilst you would be able to join the additional content to make it one item on the main menu, when you put chapter points to make it 3 items on the sub-menu, you would not return from those to the menu.

I believe that DVD Workshop provides a more flexible menu capability.
