I have 2 separate projects, both fairly labour intensive menu based DVDs that were created for the same client. He would like me to combine the 2 so that both menus become one.
How can i do this without having to painstakingly build the menu from scratch?
Run two copies of DVDA. Open the first project in one, the second project in the other. Whichever one has the most content, save that as a new file. Copy the buttons from the other project and paste them into the new project.
Probably still more complicated than you'd like, but it's about the best you're going to do. There also may be the occasional damage control (ie, fixing broken links) depending on the structure of your original projects.
